I ragazzi del muretto
My wife and I did a 12 day European tour that included London, Paris, Lucern, Andermatt, Como, Venice, Florence, and Rome. I took advantage of watching television programs the little time we spent in our rooms beyond sleeping. Our last morning in Italy while packing, this show was on and this was the episode. I am semifluent in Spanish and Italian with more knowledge of Spanish. I understood some of it and liked it more for being a 90's type of show and of course for being in Italian. Nonetheless, it was fun to watch. I wish we received European programs in the States. I will have fun memories of our time in in Europe (September 2 through the 14 of this year).
Wow! I remember watching this thirty years ago, although if it wasn't for IMDb having the air date for this program, I would have placed it somewhere around 1990 or 1991. Close enough! I enjoyed the special, especially the segment that had Howie Mandel. The other segments were okay, but dry compared to Howie's segment. He had me cracking up. There was this scene where he was making jokes (all in good humor/taste) with this girl's hair and he said "Look! I'm teasing her hair!" a play on the act of teasing hair. I see that Aptow was a writer, which looking back somehow please me, but of course back then I would not/could not have known who he was.
Remote Control
I remember watching this show back in the day. It's now been something like 34 years or so. Looking back it seemed like it was on MTV for a couple of years, but I see on IMDb that there were only 19 episodes. I saw an episode on YouTube today and that took me back in time. I was surprise to see ColIn Quinn was on this show, as I didn't really know who he was back when this showed aired. I was also surprised to see that Ken Ober has since passed away, dying in 2009.
At the time, I loved the show, but looking at it from 2021, I just reminded me of how remote the 1980's are to us, especially in the technology of the gadgets they were giving away.
It was a fun show, but way back then, it never escaped me that then how much MTV was moving away from videos and moving into things like a game show, to fill their airwaves. Thus, I was glad when VH1 came along. I loved the original MTV VJ's and had a crush on Martha Quinn (what male didn't?). Well, maybe someday someone will read this and I apologize now for the long review, lol.
