Double Dare was an American television game show that ran from December 13, 1976, to April 29, 1977, on CBS. Alex Trebek hosted this Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production; Johnny Olson and Gene Wood took turns announcing. Jay Wolpert created the series for Goodson-Todman and served as its executive producer. Jonathan Goodson (Mark Goodson's son) was the producer, and Markie Post, later a regular on the NBC comedy Night Court, was the associate producer.
Double Dare's theme music was composed by Edd Kalehoff for Score Productions. It was reused on another Goodson-Todman game show, Card Sharks, which premiered one year after Double Dare was canceled. Coincidentally, Kalehoff would later compose the theme for Nickelodeon's Double Dare (no relation whatsoever to this series) ten years later. The opening sequence was also similar to Card Sharks, with a four-way split screen. Instead of an opening poem, however, Olson or Wood used the same opening spiel in every episode: "Take a risk! Take a chance! Take a dare! Play the game of Double Dare! with the star of Double Dare, Alex Trebek!"

There used to be a game show on in the 80's and early 90's called Double Dare hosted by Mark Summers. It came on Nickelodeon. Kids had to answer trivia questions or take the "double dare". The double dare and the physical challenge consisted of games like jumping into vats of jello and ice cream to retrieve flags. It was very messy but looked like a lot of fun.

o.k. it is not on cable ch. 49, its on 245. it was the show that had families or just 2 kids that answered knowledge q's, then they could dare the other team to answer it, then they could double dare them, and then they could do a "physical challenge" at the end, they went to an 8 part obsticle course and won money and prizes. it was hosted by Mark Summers.

It was on Nickelodeon. The hope was Marc Summers. He now does "Unwrapped" on the Food Network. Families competed against each other. They would answer questions or take a dare. The winning family tried to compete an obstacle course in 1 minute for more prizes. Whew, my fingers are out of breath! I hope this helps.
