The Resume

    (July 7, 1997- )
    Original version aired from July 7, 1997-December 12, 1999
    Revival began running on June 11, 2012
    Original version was hosted by Summer Sanders
    Revival hosted by Jeff Sutphen
    Premise: A panel of four celebrities tries to 'figure out' a special talent or invention that a child contestant has
    Airs on Nickelodeon

Why Figure It Out might be annoying:

    It is basically 'I've Got A Secret' for kids.
    It features the 'secret slime action,' where if a panelist does a simple action (ex. scratches nose, looks at someone) he or she will get 'slimed'.
    The 'celebrity' panelists are usually just D-list celebrities or stars of Nickelodeon shows.
    The panelists would often waste time asking stupid, unfunny questions like 'Do you like bacon?'
    The 'talents' the contestants possessed were usually pretty lame. (Example: A kid who bites cheese slices into the shapes of states.)
    Some of the inventions were pretty terrible, too. (Example: A barf bucket with a water bottle attached to it.)
    Danny Tamberelli was a loud, obnoxious panelist and often wasted time telling terrible jokes.
    The 2012 revival got rid of 'Billy the Answer Head.'

Why Figure It Out might not be annoying:

    Summer Sanders, who at the time was primarily known as an Olympic swimmer, worked surprisingly well as host.
    The 2012 revival is largely seen as faithful to the original version.
    A young Hunter Hayes was a contestant on the show before he was famous.
    One time, the secret slime action was 'Being Danny Tamberelli.'
    It is fondly remembered by kids who grew up in the late 90's.
    Many feel that this show was the last hurrah for Nickelodeon's 'classic' era.
