Oh Sigma....
EDIT: my jaw dropped at this clip. No not because of the clip. A guy I haven't really spoken to for 20 years or so ran/runs the channel. We helped found the Closing Logo Group (now AVID database)

We helped found the Closing Logo Group (now AVID database) CLG kept me entertained during a rough patch a while ago. Such a weird but fun niche. Small world. |

If this was about Pat Sharp, it's entirely justified.

If this was about Pat Sharp, it's entirely justified. Nah, this was about the US host JD Roth. Apparently this was a thing with MTV/Nickelodeon at the time where both of their biggest game shows were being ripped off at the same time in Fun House and Couch Potatoes being the ripoffs so when Super Sloppy was a thing, they really went in on all the Fun House bashing they could while Fun House ignored it and just did their own thing for the next two years. Couch Potatoes didn't even acknowledge Remote Control's bashing of their show because it was only on the air for 8 months. |

I actually thought Fun House was more entertaining than Double Dare. I liked both shows, but Fun House had that awesome Funhouse final round which I enjoyed more than DD's obstacle course.

It is pretty wild that a kids show took a host's-dead-body-hanging-in-a-meat-locker swipe at another kids show. Like, there's playful ribbing, but this is a Michael Scott level escalation.

Is Fun House the show that had the twins?

JD Roth isn't a name I've heard/thought of in Ages I just remember him hosting a bunch of different shows for kids |
