I liked that show at first. But then they'd do crap like...

"This boy made a portrait out of macaroni shells."

"THAT'S INCREDIBLE!"

 

I remember one of my elder teen bros would sarcastically say, "That's not incredible. That's shit" after any segment he disapproved of :LOL:

STILL probably my favorite show of all time:

I also loved "In Search Of..." hosted by Leonard Nimoy. It was kind of a precursor to Unsolved Mysteries, a show that was really enjoyable at times too.

I take it you've seen her in "Coach". Surely you'd remember her showering if you did see that movie

Yep, we had those...and my mother's parents still had rotary phones, up until about the mid '90s.

I NEVER beat any of my older brothers but I'd always beat my same age classmates & neighborhood friends. Was good practice getting demolished by my siblings.

 

Always a favorite along with Clue and Battleship.

Does anyone remember "Hugo: Man of a Thousand Faces"?

That's kind of like that movie with Tony Randall. The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao.
