Parents need to know
Families can talk about the different dynamics of each team. Although the situations are far from ordinary (most families don't team up in everyday life to throw pies and smash slime-filled balloons), the message about the importance of family cooperation is clear. How can families face problems together? How does cooperation benefit a group? Is winning really the most important aspect of a competition? If not, what is?
Message

Families have fun and work together. Competition is strong, but most participants are good sports.

Prizes are all name-brand products.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Violence
Contestants do things like throw pies at each other and compete in physical challenges, but it's all in fun and no one gets hurt.

Reviewed by Andrea Graham
In each episode of DOUBLE DARE 2000, two opposing family teams compete. Each family is asked a silly trivia question; if they can't answer it -- or assume the other team won't be able to, either -- they can dare the rival family to take a shot at it. In turn, the opposing team can volley the question back by suggesting a double dare or a physical challenge. If a team chooses not to answer the question and agrees to the challenge, members take part in a mini competition that more often than not involves some kind of sticky, slimy liquid. The team with the most points at the end of the regulation competition earns the chance to enter the obstacle course, where members must use their athleticism and determination to secure flags in exchange for cool prizes.
Is it any good?
While no team goes home empty-handed, be prepared for some heartbreaking frowns and grimaces as kids watch their parents fumble around and lose the competition. Think of it as an opportunity to point out that even though the team lost, they tried their best and are still a family of winners.
Overall, Double Dare 2000 is a fun, action-filled game show that families can watch together -- amid all the slime are some good messages about family togetherness. Just don't be too surprised if your kids suggest pie fights after watching the show, or if you discover that your family room has been turned into a temporary obstacle course.
