Is it true what they say about guys with big feet, Dave?

@YouSmellLikeACat Yes. Big shoes.

So, did you end up getting Christine's number? Great job, man!

Thanks for posting, Dave. It was interesting to see your insiders' insight and very fun to watch.

I miss this show; I watched it frequently with my sister (in between arguments, of course.) I remember how cool it was to see Adam Sandler show up on SNL a couple of years later. I said "That's Stickpin Quinn!"

RIP Ken Ober. I did not know until earlier tonight that he passed away 2 years ago.

That was fantastic Dave. The commentary was very interesting.

It's great to have such fond memories of the days when MTV was still fun!

That was really fun to watch Dave. I loved this show when I was a kid, I would have been about 8 when this aired. It was fun watching the videos and reading your commentary :)

Dave, this was absolutely awesome to watch. Makes me want to dig through my pile of VHS tapes, somewhere in that pile I have the last two rounds of one of the earlier Remote Controls - back when the middle contestant went through the blue paper "wall". I remember being a little bit disappointed as a 6 year old kid when I saw the new season of Remote Control and they did away with the blue wall.

I was rooting for you all the way, awesome job - and your comments were really neat to read.
