The first season of Nickelodeon GUTS premiered on September 19, 1992 on Nickelodeon, and ended on March 15, 1993, airing on Nickelodeon on weekends at 6:30/5:30c; right after reruns of *Double Dare* (1986-1993). Host Mike O'Malley joined Nickelodeon in 1991 with his first game show *Get the Picture*, so Mike is joined by Moira Quirk as Mike's co-host and referee, and Mike read the bios for the "Spill Your GUTS" segments. The opening sequence began with a black-and-white shot of the audience with a green rectangle, followed by the text "DO YOU HAVE IT?" appearing, followed by more black-and-white scenes in red, purple, green, and pink, and the text "DO YOU HAVE IT?" appear as the Nickelodeon GUTS logo is shown. This is followed by more black-and-white scenes in red, purple, green, and pink, followed by the text "DO YOU HAVE IT?" appearing, and more black-and-white scenes in purple, yellow, and green before revealing the set as the Nickelodeon GUTS logo appeared over a shot of the set. The GUTS pool was located in the field, and the first season where Mike introduced the players at the beginning of the show when the players enter, and Moira's voice was softer.
