[fran9860]

i fucked and came inside the ass of ross shafer.  oh, by the way, i had AIDS at the time.

[AaronBruceLadner]

Ross Shafer went on to Host the 1990 Revival of Match Game.

[bluebear1985]

The pilot to this show was called "M'ama non M'ama", and was hosted by Alex Trebek.

[babyxkande]

i was just watching this on tv today and found it interesting. :)

[domirules28]

looks like they took parts of the old now you see it set for this show...

[viddykiddy18]

Marilyn Smith also did a kid's game show about animals that reran on Animal Planet. It was called Wild Guess.

God I LOVE me some 80's hair!

Back in the day when women would use a can of moose in their hair. LOL!

[sugarbear522]

Or in my case.........a full bottle of jerry-curl activator! LOL

[heine71]

Can someone upload the 1985 Love Me Love Me Not pilot that was taped in the USA and featured announcing by Jackson Beck?

[heine71]

MGM/Sony owns this? This has yet to be rerun on GSN in the USA!

[churlyryan]

... No

I think WB owns it.

I do know it's recently been aired in Canada though.

[jwgreek8606]

@churlyryan I think the show premiered after Ted sold MGM back to Kirk Kerkorian

[DorvellTStewart]

The announcer has a sexy voice LOL!

[trev17ian]

I met Ross Shafer once

[fieldsfan336]

The show was filmed in Vancouver and I believe airs Wednesday mornings on GameTV at 10am

[tristanunsworth]

Game TV (IGameTV.*com) now airs 'Just Like Mom', that use to air on YTV when the channel first launched in 1988, weekdays at Noon (Eastern). WOO-HOO!!! Fergie Oliver (host).

[tristanunsworth]

So, tell me... do you think Marilyn Smith EVER got that highly coveted Pontiac Fiero? BTW, WRONG-O that it was done in NYC's CBS studios. It was done at CKVU-TV13 Vancover's studios. It qualifies as Cancon because it was done by and for Global in Canada, also using Canadian guests.

[jwgreek8606]

@tristanunsworth the pilot was filmed in New York

[RolandTaylorJr]

When I submitted my top 50 game shows list to Matt Ottinger in 2006, THIS was the only love show that made my list. In fact, I ranked Love Me, Love Me Not at #31.

[kes1963]

Ross Schafer was a pretty good host. He did a decent job when he hosted Match Game in 1990. It's a shame he didn't host much more than that. P.S. his cohost was HHHHHHHHHOT

[TonyDuMont]

I would actually like a copy of this episode, in case you're interested in tape trading. And this show was a hit in Italy, and I have a New York Times article referring to M'ama Non Mama.

[RetroWinnipeg]

The show reaired on Prime in 2000-01.

[WhatsAYak]

And it's now re-airing again, as a weekend entry on GameTV, along w/such other Canadian games as The Mad Dash, Love Handles, The Joke's On Us, and Supermarket Sweep.

[heine71]

The pilot in 1985 was done in NYC but for the series moved to Canada.

[freewaydan]

It was done at CBS in NYC.

[joeguaca]

Circa 1987, when USA had all their good games airing during the day. I believe this was a Canadian production, much like Jackpot.

[churlyryan]

Speaking of Jackpot, I do also have an episode of the USA version. Same tape even. I plan on uploading the intro but I'm too lazy :p

[churlyryan]

Which I have done :)

Check my profile page.

[WhatsAYak]

It was indeed, hence the presence of an on-camera hostess to fulfill those CanCon laws (Shafer is American).

[freewaydan]

Just like on the USA version of Chain Reaction when Geoff Edwards replaced Blake Emmons; that's why they put announcer Rod Charlebois an on camera role.

[robdon33]

Ditto with Wink Martindale when he hosted "The Last Word" in the 1990s. Jim Perry (also a U.S.-born host), did not require a co-host because he had ties to Canada through his family.

[cpowers94]

Speaking of 'the last word', according to my iTV guide, it's gonna be on GameTV in Canada soon

[JMFabianoRPL]

And game show fans will of course recognize Ross Shafer from MG90...

[dijeinyje]

And comedy fans in Seattle will remember him from Almost Live!, and those episodes with him have not been aired or reran since the 80's.

[tvpirate05]

Just one correction, this show actually aired on the USA network...

[churlyryan]

So it WAS a USA Original. I had at first suspected NBC for some reason. Thanks for pointing out the mistake :)

[aman1016]

The main game wasn't much, but I liked the bonus round.

[CeleTheRef]

The first Italian format to have made it across the ocean. And it wasn't too popular in Italy to begin with :|

[churlyryan]

I can see why, it seemed so lame.

[TonyDuMont]

It was a huge hit in Italy, and there was even a version in the UK.

[CeleTheRef]

it was a hit because Wheel of Fortune aired right after it
