” revival isn’t an offensive one. As long as every piece of media is getting rebooted, revised and regurgitated, why not a delightfully cheesy game show in which kids scrambled up styrofoam rocks and answered trivia questions about fake Mayan myths as a scarlet-eyed stone sculpture set their next challenge? For a certain subset of millennials, “Legends of the Hidden Temple” — which aired on Nickelodeon from 1993 to 1995 — was one of TV’s more entertaining distractions.
Almost 20 years after “Legends of the Hidden Temple” first debuted, The CW has now revived it to appeal to my exact demographic and no one else. The contestants are still part of the traditional animal teams and take on obstacle courses very much like the previous version’s, though on a rather woeful set that evokes Party City more than Mayan ruins.
The show’s struggle to distinguish itself from so many others on television might not be as damning, or at least not as immediately noticeable, if it were still about kids and for kids as the original “Legends” was. But this one, produced for a network aimed more at those who grew up on shows like “Legends of the Hidden Temple” rather than those who are still growing up, makes the fatal mistake of casting adults rather than children as its contestants.
