I was listening to the Battlefield Earth episode and they had some jokes that made me remember a kids show from the 90s where it was some kind of contest with a maze and a giant stone head or something. Anyone know what I’m talking about? It may have been a time challenge you had to make it through or an obstacle course and I think the giant head talked.

Legends of the Hidden Temple

Legends of the Hidden Temple; the talking head was named Olmec (voiced by Frank Welker's discount alternative, Dee Bradley Baker).

That show was famous for basically being fixed. Every once in a blue moon, they'd let kids actually win, but for the most part they just straight up couldn't. What's that? You guys are making it far into the temple? Boom, random guard bursts out of the wall and you're screwed. If they decided ahead of time you were going to lose, they had 10 different ways of making it happen. Wins were extremely rare, and just there so kids would think they had a chance. They didn't.

Still love Olmec, though. And, growing up in Central FL, basically every kid in school knew someone who had been on it (even if they rarely made it past that first water challenge).

Were there different mazes than the Aztec looking vertical one? The show I’m thinking of had a horizontal maze that was laid out on the floor, but the walls were all tall stone I think.

Found it, Masters of the Maze. The talking head was actually four heads that asked educational questions to get by. Looks like it was more education based than physical.

Serious answer: they always filmed that from an angle because the giant spike through the head part was unwieldy and caught on the pedestal it went into, but ESPECIALLY for shorter kids who have to do it blindly/from below, so that's why everyone begins fumbling on the fucker.

They really did rig that final round in every single way they could.

Now I just want a David Paymer month with such classics as Carpool, Payback, Bait, Mighty Joe Young, etc.

I know no one else in the world watched this, but there was an early 2000s show called Line of Fire where David Paymer was the lead villain of the whole thing, playing a powerful mafia boss. He was great at it actually, very menacing and evil. A very good example of casting against type.

Bringing Ninja Warrior to the US was a really good idea, even if ESPN2 had subbed a similar show a couple years before.

And as much as TNA sucked, it did give us some great promos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hclT8KyFBxQ
