Wow, when MTV was worth watching. Still had videos to watch, not the crap reality shows they do today. MTV marketing today is just trying to keep up with the loser mentality of todays youth. I had forgotten about this show until I got VH1 classic. Great channel!
Not to sound like a nerd, but the answer for 3:59 was wrong. It should have been Mogwai, not Gremlin. Gremlins are what Mogwais turned into when they were fed after midnight. You should have called bullshit, Natalie. God, I miss the 80s.
You miss 1986?, so do i, i miss the 80's period! LOL I turned 5 in ' 86, had a Dukes of Hazzard birthday cake with General Lee on it & Daisy's Jeep. When it came summertime, i enjoyed riding in my Knight Rider pedal car, doing 180's in KITT. I wanna be little again so i can ride in KITT, the 2000's Suck! LOL The first time i saw Remote Control was in the late 80's at my uncle's house. I thought it was pretty cool, especially when the contestants lost & their recliner went into those rooms.
@agenthelios the black population used the blood of white people to straiten their hair? O.O omg.. omg... (freaking out, running around trying to save her blood from the hair of the zombie black people) Just kidding. get a grip.
@agenthelios that is the stupidest most racist thing Ive ever heard. In the late 1980s all Black People looked like they were on the Cosby Show or A Different World
I was three days shy of my 16th birthday when this episode aired. Came down with the flu this day. I LOVED this show!! Brings back memories. RIP Ken Ober.
Man, this sucks. Ken was a good host. Everybody who knew him said nothing but nice things about him. RIP, Ken. I'll flip through the channels quickly for you tonight.
my older cousins used to watch this show when i was like 5. i didnt remember too much from it. but now that i actually get it...its FRIKIN AWESOME. mtv needs to bring this back
I don't think this is the first episode... the premiere had an opening skit clearly showing it was the premiere, including Ken bribing Marisol to be the hostess with a keg of shampoo...
Marisol was the best

MTV 2! It's where the music is at! Oh wait. Well even if they had music it would be nothing but rap and black music.
