Double Dare is an American television game show, produced by Mark Goodson & Bill Todman, that ran from 1976 to 1977 on CBS.

[2] The main game pitted two contestants in isolation booths attempting to correctly identify a person, place, or thing based on one-sentence clues.

Before the first clue was given, the correct response was shown to the home audience and the host stated the general category (person, place, etc.).

A maximum of 10 clues were played per subject, typically starting with obscure pieces of trivia and progressing toward more widely-known facts.

When a contestant correctly identified a subject on a buzz-in, he/she was shown the next clue in sequence and could dare the opponent to answer.

The winner of the main game competed in a bonus round against the Spoilers, a panel of three Ph.Ds placed in separate isolation booths so that they could not see or hear each other.

If all three Spoilers managed to identify the subject, the contestant lost the round but kept any money accumulated to that point from incorrect guesses.

[3][4] Double Dare premiered on December 13, 1976, and replaced Gambit on CBS' daytime lineup at 11:00 AM Pacific (10:00 Central) following The Price Is Right.

On March 7, 1977, Double Dare shifted back one hour from its original time slot in order to accommodate the hour-long Price Is Right taking the 10:30 AM timeslot.

CBS saw no further success for the show at the earlier hour and decided to cancel Double Dare after 20 weeks and 96 total episodes.
