Do You Remember…

[Jalapeñomel]

The shows Blind Date and Fifth Wheel? What a ride that would be if they made those now.

Anyway, add your own Do You Remember…!

[momin2013]

I do not remember either of those, but I do remember Love Connection with Chuck Wollery. I am apparently older than all get-out.

DH and I used to watch so much late night Blind Date when we started dating in 2004. See also Shipmates.

[expectantsteelerfan]

No, but it made me think of the show Singled Out. And also how it was featured on an episode of Boy Meets World. I had a big crush on Chris Hardwick.

[momin2013]

Ok, I’ll age myself even more. Do you remember the original Dynasty? I have such fond memories of watching that on Sunday nights with my mom and grandma - it felt so scandalous to pre-teen me!

[sporklemotion]

Yes! Wasn’t Aisha Tyler the host of Fifth Wheel?

[huskymom]

And Next???

Yes! And cheaters!

Lots of MOTN tv.

Blind date got revived for awhile. Recently there was a female comic who maybe got her own show (I think? Don't ask me to remember who) who had a gig writing the pop up captions.

I remember the start of MTV - like being super excited that a music show on tv for our age was beginning.

Do you remember: Family Ties and Who's the Boss?

[fivechickens]

The Gong Show

I used to love that show so much.

[fernweh]

I remember Fifth Wheel for sure. I have a recollection Blind Date was a show but I don’t think I ever watched it.

There was a dating show called Bzzzzz for a while that I LOVED. The host was a British Lady and the dater would sit at a table and ask possible matches questions and they had a giant red buzzer if they didn’t like the answer they would Bzzzz them. If I remember correctly they only had a certain number of people they could buzz.

We occasionally stumble across Family Ties on a local channel that plays older shows and it's still super awkward LOL

[tennisgal]

What about Jenny Mccarthy's Singled Out on MTV?

ETA: yes, I did have to google the name.  I was thinking of Elimidate, which was another dating show back then!

[gummybear]

We used to love watching Cheaters 🤣

[bbdoll]

Do you remember Remote Control on MTV?

[Jalapeñomel]

Do you remember the restaurant Po Folks? I wish I could get hush puppies somewhere I the north.

[lucybrown]

Yup. And Elimidate?

[mrsslocombe]

Mine are all random 90's TV shows that got canceled after only a few episodes, and the rest of the seasons never aired...

Someone Like Me, starring Gaby Hofman
Scorch, which was an Alf-like sitcom starring a puppet dragon
The Road Home, starring Karen Allen

Other than the actors, I think I'm the only person that remembers these things.

[nicolewi]

Yes, I remember Elimidate!

[pixy0stix]

I loved the entire line-up of TGIF. I didn't have cable until I was well out of college.

[meanie]

H and I used to watch cheaters all the time, I remember when the host got stabbed.

TV in the late 90's - early 2000s was insane.

I liked Singled Out but I thought Jenny McCarthy was soooooooo obnoxious. I still do, for different reasons.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

H and I used to watch this guy on like QVC or something- his main gig was like baseball cards and sports memorabilia. But he also had that SPORTS DUDE inflection for beanie babies. Ohhh my god we used to laugh so hard at that.

[helpshareplease]

VH1 Pop up video. I still remember the little jingle.

lol is VH1 still a thing? 

[livinitup]

Who remembers General Hospital? Or did you have another favorite soap opera??

[maudefindlay]

Calling a phone number for the time and temperature.

The character named Boner on Growing Pains. The Book Banners of today grew up on that show and laughed at that name, you know it, but today they'd have a conniption fit.

The game show Joker's Wild. I wanted to pull that lever so bad.

Gatorade gum.

I watched all the ABC soaps. All My Children, One Life to Live, and GH. I even remember Ryan's Hope and Loving. My favorite couple was Greg and Jenny from AMC.

When I hear someone say "joker", I always say "Joker!  Joker!  Joker!"  like the host of that game show would if someone got 3 jokers in a row.   I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers it!  


I also remember watching Sale of the Century, another game show.   And a sitcom called ER that starred George Clooney (before the drama ER).  Thus began my George Clooney celebrity crush.  I loved that show and in 5th grade we had to write about our favorite show, so that is what I picked.  My teacher told me I SHOULD have picked Highway to Heaven because that was a good wholesome show that he enjoyed watching with his daughters.   Whatever, Mr LaRosa.
