completeing the temple =

I want to know exactly how many times a team actually completed the entire temple. I can't recall it ever happening so it must be a rare enough occurance for it to be worth counting.

• It happened on around 30 of the 120 episodes, I believe - check the website links at the bottom of the main article and I'm sure you'll find that information on those sites. --Goldrushcavi 23:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

It happened exactly 32 times. (http://www.geocities.com/nicklegends/featsfactsfirsts.html) Nicklegends (talk) 22:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Possible Error?

The intro states that the game won an award for "Best Game Show Series" in a country known as djdskldskhlsdk. I, personally, have never heard of djdskldskhlsdk and suspect that it might be an error of some sort. Even if it is not, shouldn't it follow standard grammatical form for proper nouns and be capitalized? Or is djdskldskhlsdk somehow an exception to the rule? Hmmmmm382 03:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

• I don't know why, but I have a slight inclination that "djdskldskhlsdk" must have been vandalism. --Goldrushcavi 22:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Olmec now?

I had read somewhere Olmec and much of the set had been purchased by a british television network, and was being used in a reality program. Can anyone confirm this? --NEMT 06:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.... Angie Y. 20:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

No, he took up to much storage space and they did not want his image used inappropriately so they destroyed him a couple of years back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.188.116.182 (talk)

I don't think the comment above me is true, but either way, I have not heard of Olmec being used for anything nowadays. Nicklegends (talk) 22:02, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Female temple guards?

In the article, the temple guards are described as "men or women in lavish Mayan sentinel costumes." When were there female temple guards? I've never seen this. In fact, in every episode I've seen, the guards seem to be portrayed by the same three men. VelvetKevorkian 12:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"fancruft"

No such thing. If someone cares enough to put it in, and it's verifiable, it's worthy. The notability "requirement" is BS. Thanos6 11:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Misplaced Pages:fancruft, Misplaced Pages:no original research, Misplaced Pages:notability would all indicate otherwise, no matter how you feel on the subject. --Goldrushcavi 19:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• I violate the middle one all the time no matter how YOU feel about the subject. 72.146.86.213 (talk) 02:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Premiere Date of September 11, 1993 is Correct

I have the original premiere and next several episodes on tape all from oringinal broadcasts and was able to determine without a doubt that the show premiered on the 11th. There's part of a Mets/Braves game (from ESPN Sunday Night Baseball) at the start of episode 4; it was really easy to determine that that game was September 26th; from there I was able to determine the correct premiere date. Below is the scheduling history of the first four episodes. I know that it doesn't matter really what order the episodes aired in, but I have them listed anyway.

• Saturday September 11 (Sir Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress)
• Sunday September 12 (Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa)
• Saturday September 18 (no episode shown)
• Sunday September 19 (repeat of Sep. 11)
• Saturday September 25 (Code Book of Mata Hari)
• Sunday September 26 (Trojan Horseshoe)

Kirk Fog Controversy

Someone help me out, I remember hearing somewhere that Kirk Fogg was kicked off the show because he once said "Fu*k" during a live taping. The show of course was edited but he was fired because of many contestant's parents requests. I can't find the details anywhere but I remember hearing this. Any responses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.103.63 (talk • contribs)

I highly doubt it. Kirk said in his interview that nobody really knew that the show was going to be cancelled. I don't know where you heard that from, but it seems false. --PAK Man 16:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I remember hearing that. I don't remember where but I bet Nickelodeon wanted to keep it quiet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.244.216 (talk • contribs)

I agree with PAK Man. This story seems really unlikely. I have a feeling that someone is pulling your chain. (HairMetalLives 19:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC))

It's almost impossible by the way I see it. Why would they have kicked off the host at the end of a season for something that didn't affect its airing? 67.169.101.124 21:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I, too, doubt it. Nobody I've talked to who was associated with the show knew it was going to be canceled until they heard it from the people higher up at Nickelodeon. Nicklegends (talk) 22:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Legends of the Hidden Temple (assembling monkey).jpg

Sources for Season Two Tapings

If somebody does not provide a valid source as to when the Season Two episodes were taped, I'm deleting the episode order information. What says that this is the order of the episodes? --PAK Man 16:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Kirk Fogg Useless?

I heard rumors that one of the reasons the show was cancelled was that during season 3, Kirk was renedered almost ueless when Olmec took over almost all of the duties of announcing, by introducing the games and telling the stories. Kirk was pretty much only used for saying the countdown for the physical challenges and the show's intro. Has anyone else heard anytthing of the sort? Volcomtoast 01:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)volcomtoast

It simply wouldn't make sense, since it was neither Kirk's nor Dee Baker's choice to set up the two parts that way. Nick likely wanted to make the icon of the show have a more prominent role through a standard production choice. For the record, the change happened between Seasons One and Two.

Cave of Sighs Alternate Name

Since I was a child, I thought that the cave was called the "Cave of Sais". I thought this made a lot more sense then "Cave of Sighs" which seems to be referring to something really boring. If I recall correctly, there were sharp looking stalactites/mites that I thought verified the name "Cave of Sais". I was a big fan of the TMNT as well, so the idea came natually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.243.89 (talk) 02:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The only thing I know about the word Sais is that it was a city in Egypt. What led you to make the connection between the stalactites and the name? ...Haha, now there are four possible names for this room between "Sighs," "Size," "Scythes," and "Sais." The controversy will never stop. Nicklegends (talk) 22:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Splitting temple layouts into new article

I think the layouts might be better served in their own article, since they seem to be long and repetitive and easily split off. If anyone has any comments, please discuss. Also, I'm looking for suggestions for a possible title of that new article. RJaguar3 | u | t 06:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

No objections here; that section downright dominates the article. You could call the new one something like List of Temple Rooms Featured on Legends of the Hidden Temple. Nicklegends 18:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Spoofs?

This may sound crazy, but if someone tried to do a "True" spoof of LOTHT, where would the best place (in the east coast and NOT a movie studio and in a very easy to find place) to do it? 96.228.19.6 01:49, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The discussion page is for comments pertaining to the Misplaced Pages article, not Legends in general. Try asking on a message board devoted to Legends instead. RJaguar3 | u | t 17:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Shirt stores links

User:Jarjar13 has readded the shirt stores links after they were deleted, and I want to have a consensus before removing them again. Should the shirt links stay or go?

Personally, even though the teams (and accordingly, the shirts) are a very identifiable part of the show, I really don't think we need linkse to places where they are sold. If anything, I think interested people could Google it themselves, as these links seem to be advertising. RJaguar3 | u | t 07:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

This topic was decided upon a while ago, and is now in the talk archives. It was decided that the links are relevant and should remain included with this article. User:jarjar13
