Double Dare (CBS): Episode Guide

Much like the CBS version of The Joker's Wild, Goodson-Todman's Double Dare is another game show that had a short rerun life on GSN (or, in this case, two of them) which gave way to a lot of scattered information across the internet about it, yet lacks a definitive episode guide anywhere. In response to this, here is my attempt to create an end-all-be-all episode guide for Double Dare, including any instance in which GSN has ever aired it.

Credit for most of the information in this episode guide goes to Russ Scottfield's collection list, Brandon Bolton's collection page, Matt Kaiser's former website for confirming every single episode that GSN aired in 1996-1997, posts made on alt.tv.game-shows in 1996-1999, Jon Hobdon's former website for confirming the second Faux Pause Picks episode (which somehow wasn't mentioned on ATGS), Sam Mitchell for confirming which episode GSN showed for a one-off "rarity" airing on 10/2/06, and of course, the episodes available on the trading circuit. Huge, HUGE thanks to Ryan Rinkerman for sending me GSN schedule PDFs from the first half of 2008 to confirm the production codes and GSN air dates for many of the later episodes, as well as confirming which episode GSN showed for the 7/4/99 Game of the Week airing.

Finally, I have no plans to include any information on when Buzzr aired the show aside from the cutoff point in their rotation; since they aired the same six weeks over and over again for two years straight, providing air date info for that would be extremely futile (whereas GSN only ever aired the show a few times, while also going much, much further into the run).

March 1977
On June 16, 2008, GSN pre-empted Double Dare for an encore presentation of Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure; when the show returned the following week, GSN abruptly skipped to the third-to-last episode. Since GSN and Buzzr have never gone this far in the run before or since, it is currently unknown whether or not episodes 67 to 93 even exist.
