Views: 1186

Hey, remember that 1980s show Double Dare? Well, here's a preview, opening and ending (along with some breaks) for the program.

However, if you're expecting to see Marc Summers and kids doing stunts getting slimed, then you're thinking of the wrong show. This Double Dare was a short-lived Billy Dee Williams vehicle that co-starred Ken Wahl (best known for his starring role in the CBS series Wiseguy), as well as Joe Maher and Janet Carroll (the latter as...
