In an era of television where NBC wishes it wasn't NBC, it appears that the network is *literally* trying everything it can to gain viewers. According to EW.com, NBC is reviving Fear Factor because, hey, why the hell not? Reports are that the jump in viewership brought on by The Voice is the reason for bringing the show back, but it could also be the fact that since its departure, Americans have had no other show where they could get their "Oh my god, I need to see somebody eat a cockroach" fix. Right now, there's no word whether Joe Rogan will host the series again, or even as to when it will premiere, but who cares! At this rate, we should be seeing that Friends reunion happen in three… two… one… Oh. No? Dang.
