The date given on Wikipedia's listing for the airing of the 2nd season keeps changing. Who knows when it will air? It's very unlikely that Nickelodeon will return to the Orlando facility to produce more shows. While Nickelodeon Studios Orlando was extremely popular when it first opened, the network's viewers grew tired of game shows and wanted cartoons and scripted shows.

Nickelodeon was unable to produce, in earnest, those types of shows in Orlando because actors did not want to move from Los Angeles to Orlando. With no new game shows in the works, no actors wanting to move away from southern California and very few people stopping by the complex to take the tour and visit the store, Nickelodeon soon realized that keeping the buildings going just wasn't doable.

So, in 2006, Nickelodeon turned off the lights for the last time, packed up, handed the keys to Universal and left.

Now today, Nickelodeon has an animation studio in Burbank California and a general studio facility also located in southern California. As sad as it is to say, the days of Nickelodeon producing regular shows at Universal Studios are over.

I dont think they are doing anymore seasons. I was on the show. When we were recording they said that we were going to be season 1, but as we were going through all of the stuff they showed us the season 2 people. And then like 3 months later they switched out the seasons. And it was suppose to air on Jan. 27th but it never did! So because of this i dont think they are having another one. :D But i am sorry cuz it was an awesome experience.

And BTW the producer is hot!!! :D lol (Use to be pick-boy)

Or perhaps My Family Can Make the Grade, My Family Gets the Picture, What Would Your Family Do?, and who knows what else. But anyway, it’s nice to see this coming back, even if it doesn’t have Mike and Mo.

We’ve had Family Double Dare, Family Feud, now My Family’s Got Guts!. Next, like Todd said, is My Family Knows the Legends of the Hidden Temple, then after that its My Family’s The Masters of the Maze, then My Family Will Shop Till They Drop…. Please stop me!

Now all we need is a My Family Knows the Legends of the Hidden Temple! :P

But seriously, I am looking forward to seeing GUTS back.

The games look cool, but if its like Gladiators with the crag, that aint gonna be good

I went to the tapings. The Crag is VERY impressive, and reminiscent of the original.

The new format reeks of Gladiators…you even get a head start on the Crag based on how many points you have!

Does anyone know if there will be anymore auditions, like for a next season or something? My family is very much interested in being in this show and we meet all of the requirements.

Im shocked this is coming back, considering the route Nick chose to go, distancing themselves from their gameshows/contest shows of the past. (See Nick GAS as a reference)

PS – Even in shambles, Nick GAS is still on Dish Networks schedule, albeit it as a sad shell of what it was

Does anybody have any photos from the taping we can see? I’d love to see this new “Ice Crag”.

Hey! If you really want to see the show, they are taping now until August 16th at Universal, you can see the new “Ice crag” up close and personal. It’s really something!

I just hope, this show has on-air cash and prizes, unlike the original version of Guts, where somehow competition was its own reward (i.e. no on-air prizes for the winners or losers)
Only on All Star Guts- did the kids earn savings bonds for their efforts. At the levels in which they gave ‘em to them at the time (1st-$2500,2nd-$1500,3rd-$1000) would work well on this new version.

I’m happy that Nick is bringing back GUTS. I agree with shon (seems like a theme to me lately), it is a rip off of American Gladiators. But if you could pull it off, it can be a good thing. The bad thing is now that I’m in my 30s (I’m actually 30) and have no kids, I can’t enjoy this version like I enjoyed the original, but, as I said earlier, I’m happy that it’s coming back so when I do have kids (which hopfully would be one day) I would sit with them and watch it.

I agree, I hope Nick doesn’t screw this up. I hope the events, the music and the set are at least somewhat reminiscent of the classic one. Yes, like any good revival, things need to be modernized. But, really they don’t have to change much from the 90s version.

The Events – The same events would work today, maybe more large scale, but they were good then and they’d be good now.

The Host – I didn’t hear anything about the host, but I really can’t imagine Guts without Mike O’Malley and Moira Quirke.

The Set – The last version of Gut, Global Guts, had a very nice stage for the time. With a few modern touches, I think it could work in 2008.

The Agro Crag – I’m really hoping this one even tops the “super Agro Crag” from Global Guts. I hope its even larger than it was in 1996.

The Music – I can’t really imagine GUTS without them saying “Do you have it?” at least one during the episode. And I can’t really imagine the theme music not sounding just like the old one. I’d love to hear a remixed version of the Global version. It would sound pretty modern in this day in age. Or I wouldn’t mind a rerecorded sound alike version. But, remember what they did to the Double Dare theme in the 2000 version…Uh oh…
