“Legends of the Hidden Temple” is headed back to the small screen, but not in its original kid-friendly format. The Nickelodeon competition adventure series from the 1990s is all grown up in the revival ordered Tuesday by the CW.
The original Nickelodeon series that aired from 1993-1995 was inspired by Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda” game and the “Indiana Jones” movie franchise. The new iteration is described as a supersized and reimagined adult version, so participants are no longer kids, but nostalgia-loving millennials.
Per the logline, the “Legends of the Hidden Temple” remake, based on the game show created by David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Stephen R. Brown, will preserve many of the Nickelodeon series’ iconic elements. These include “Olmec,” the giant talking Mayan head, the “Moat Crossings,” “The Steps of Knowledge,” the “Temple Run,” and all of the original team names like “Purple Parrots,” “Blue Barracudas,...

The CW is hunting for the Legends of the Hidden Temple after ordering a reboot of the classic Nickelodeon adventure format. This comes after the series was previously set to be rebooted by the short-lived short-form service Quibi.
The reboot will be produced by Stone & Company, which produced the original series that ran on Nickelodeon for three seasons between 1993-1995.
The adult version will preserve many of the original show including Olmec, the giant talking Mayan head, the Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge and the Temple Run as well as the team names such as Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys.
However, this version will be taken out of the studio and scaled up with tougher challenges and bigger prizes as the contestants find their way through the “jungle.”

With its lurid marketing and violent action, Barbarian was controversial in its day. But it was also a lot of fun, Ryan writes...
Where would the 80s have been without the writings of Robert E Howard? In cinemas, John Milius’ 1982 adaptation of Howard’s macho pulp tales, Conan The Barbarian, prompted a wave of sword-swinging imitators, including The Beastmaster, Deathstalker and Hawk The Slayer.

Apparently not everyone wants to keep up with Kris Jenner. The momager’s daytime talk show, ‘Kris’, will not be returning in 2014, Fox announced in a statement on Jan. 17. However, there is a strong possibility that the show could be back on the air in 2015.
Kris Jenner’s show, Kris, is getting shelved, after a short six-week run in the summer of 2013. But thankfully the Keeping Up with the Kardashians matriarch still has a chance of making a comeback with Kris or another similar project in the future, according to Fox.

Exclusive: Another piece of the syndicated talk show puzzle has fallen into place heading into Natpe, with the Fox TV Stations opting not to pick up the talk show hosted by Kris Jenner for next season but leaving the door open for 2015. Kris, produced by sibling Twentieth Television, had a six-week trial run on several key Fox stations this past summer. “Kris will not be on the schedule for the 2014 syndication season,” Stephen Brown, Evp Programming & Development, Fox Television Stations, said in a statement to Deadline. “However, the possibility for the talk show, or an additional project for Kris Jenner, for the 2015 season is being discussed and highly considered.” Kris didn’t quite make a splash with its six-week run, coming out about even (0.8 in Hh metered markets) with last year’s time period and with its lead-in. It had a strong finish, with the finale featuring Jenner’s son-in-law-to-be...

Los Angeles -- The driven matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is taking center stage with her own talk show, and Kris Jenner said she's ready for the spotlight.
"I'm definitely living my dream," Jenner said of Monday's launch of "Kris," a daily talk show getting a summer test run on Fox stations in a handful of major U.S. TV markets.
If Jenner proves her appeal with viewers, she can expect to join the swelling ranks of national daytime hosts that include reigning queen Ellen DeGeneres, newcomers Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and Bethenny Frankel and, on the fall TV horizon, Queen Latifah.
So what does Jenner bring to the talk-show table? As she explains it, a strong sense of what people want from her and "Kris," airing for six weeks in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Dallas and Charlotte, N.C.

No surprise here — Twentieth Television just announced that its struggling freshman syndicated talker The Ricki Lake Show will not be renewed for the 2013-2014 season. Original episodes will continue to air through the end of the season. Along with CBS TV Distribution’s Jeff Probst, Ricki Lake never found an audience to support it in the long run as the two faced a glut of new talk shows last fall. A similar announcement for Jeff Probst should be coming soon. “While we are proud of the topics the program tackled including childhood obesity, life-after the military, divorce, and addiction we were simply not able to breakthrough the crowded talk show marketplace,” Stephen Brown, Twentieth TV’s Evp of programming & development said. While Ricki Lake was a disappointment, Twentieth TV did well with freshman syndicated strip Dish Nation, which was recently renewed for a second season after scoring well with young demos.
