Nickelodeon's best shows were during the 90's. The cable network has seemed to realize this recently and has given the order for 40 episodes of the game show Figure It Out.
In a press release from the network, It was announced that production of the 40 new episodes will start in April with Jeff Sutphen acting as host. The show challenges celebrity guests to guess the unique talents and skills of the kid contestants.
Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's President of Development and Original Programming said "Figure It Out is a show that celebrates kids and their wonderful and often bizarre talents." She added, "In this internet age where kids are expressing themselves online, it feels timely to give them a TV platform to showcase those talents in a uniquely Nickelodeon way."
In each episode, the panel of celebrities would have to ask yes or no questions while being hit with "messy visual and tactile clues." The contestant wins a prize for each round that the panel is unable to figure out the talent or skill. If all three rounds go by without a correct guess, they win the grand prize and then, of course, the talent is revealed.
Figure It Out was created by Kevin Kay and Magda Liolis and it aired from 1997 to 1999 for four seasons. At the time Summer Sanders was the host and the the celebrity panel included stars like Kenan Thompson, Coolie, Jack Hanna, Evander Holyfield, Joe Namath, Michelle Trachtenberg and Chris Jericho.
