'Fear' Revisited
Finally, longstanding fans will get to hear, "I'm Joe Rogan, and this is 'Fear Factor.'" After a
five-year absence from television, the much-talked-about "Fear Factor" is making
a return on NBC. When it was first launched in 2001, the gross-out, stunt-dare
reality ... more game show was on the cutting edge of TV programming. Now, it's
considered a throwback. Will viewers reward NBC for its fidelity to a once
cherished reality series franchise? We'll have to see. Revivals are certainly no
sure success (think "Charlie's Angels"), but
given the state of relatively polite reality TV competition shows currently on
the air, "Fear Factor" (part deux) has got a shot.
