What Parents Need to Know

About GUTS

Parents need to know that this action-sport game show features extreme physical challenges like obstacle courses, climbing, and jumping off ledges -- exactly the kind of thing kids need to be reminded not to try on their own at home. Both boys and girls compete equally, which gives young viewers a good example of diversity in athletic competition.

    Can you please put back on the air on Cable TV Nickelodeon GAS

    I love Nickelodeon Guts because it was my favorite tv show. I hope it comes back on the air on digital cable tv. Mike O Malley's Good performing in the extreme arena. I hope this show Double Dare 2000 and Get the Picture all come back on the air together.It was a good show

    An awesome show

    "GUTS" is coming back to TV sometime this year. If you haven't seen it, it's similar to "American Gladiators". It'll be on Nick @ Nite and will be called "My Family's Got GUTS." According to Wikipedia, they're still searching for a host. Tom Bergeron would make a great host!! I hope Nick @ Nite chooses him! By the way, it will be taped at Stage 21 at Universal Studios Orlando. It's the same stage used for the '90s "GUTS".
