  Possibly the worst TV show ever, so it does have a certain appeal.

  I used to love that show as well as "That's Incredible!". Good, old school TV. I'll be tuned in tonight for Survivor

  I remember I used to like Skip a lot. I also remember my Mom telling me it was stupid every time I watched it. Of course, no way my Mom was right.

  Wasn't Peter Billingsly on Real People.
  
  I noticed his name appeared in the charcter credits for Iron Man. Trying to figure out who he played now..
  
  He was also the Executive Producer of the movie.. Wonder if he shot his eye out yet?

  These were the original reality shows I guess.
  
  I was in school at that time - so didn't watch them. Not sure I would've anyway.
  
  I remember Fran Tarkington being on that show tho.

  Loved both. Quit watching "That's Incredible" when they (seemingly) started showing a different surgery every week. That stuff grosses me out so I skipped it. But I remember watching the Rubik's Cube championships on there, stuff like that.
  
  Fun shows.

  I loved Real People, That's Increditble and Games People Play. Great 70's TV! I believe Mr. T was discovered on one of those shows in the toughest bouncer competition!?

  Rubik's Cube was fun stuff, I took mine apart and lubed it all up (yes, I know I'm opening myself up to catch heck with that line), I could do the Cube in under 1 minute conistently, my best time ever was 39 seconds. I memorized one of those pattern books that showed you how from every combination. I forgot how to do it a long time ago, but would be fun to get a book and a cube again and practice. It would amaze my 10 year old son!!! Never did get around though to trying Rubik's Revenge
