Supermarket Sweep debut: 2/5/90

It's the return of the one and only Supermarket Sweep! Notice the subtle diffences between this episode and the later ones...one of my favorites being the fact David Ruprecht used to wear some awesome sweaters instead of a shirt & tie.

Also check out the ad for the debut of Rodeo Drive, a show that debuted the same day as Sweep, but didn't enjoy the same success.

@t7204 This was the first season. The mini-sweep didn't come until 1991 when the show got more settled in.

@supersaver87 Supermarket Sweep ran for 5 seasons on Lifetime from Monday February 5, 1990 to Friday May 26, 1995, with reruns being shown until Friday August 14, 1998. Also, PAX aired reruns of the last Lifetime season from Monday April 5, 1999 to Friday March 31, 2000. The following week, on Monday April 3, 2000, PAX revived the show and it ran for 3 more seasons, ending on Friday May 23, 2003, with reruns being shown until Friday March 26, 2004.

When I was a kid growing up, I watched this with my grandmother! Great memories of my childhood! I'm 21 years old

I LOVE game shows, & "Supermarket Sweep" is no exception! This show needs a revival. In addition to winning cash, contestants should also get to win the food they accumulate. David Ruprecht looks so young here!

I loved this show when we had a version here in Canada. I actually had a dream the other night that I was on it. Hahaha.
