I'm Telling Celebrity Day 1

[@popoff21]

I came back here after hearing the passing of Shannen Doherty, RIP she was a beautiful soul

[@dougcoffey7354]

RIP Shannen

[@davearnold392]

Shannen Doherty was very pretty in 1987. Was heartbroken when she died. She was also on Scrabble in 1988

[@benbelzer8303]

Shannen's facial reaction at the 14:21 mark is hilarious and there's a "kid laugh track" to go along with it!! 😅😂🤣

[@JohnWatsonPuppetChannel]

I remember this on NBC Saturday morning

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Just to let everyone know, Our House use to air on NBC Sunday Nights opposite 60 Minutes and went into reruns on The Family Channel and now on INSP also, The Facts of Life was in its 9th and Final Season on NBC and Rags to Riches was a great show, but too many time changes caused the show to be cancelled, but Heidi Ziggler went on to star in the abc sitcom Just the Ten of Us which was the spin-off of Growing Pains

[@YouCantHoldOnTooLong]

Heidi Ziegler is only two days younger than me! I was born March 24 1979 and she was born March 26 1979. She was such a little sweetheart! ~Dutch

[@kristenchandler9030]

I remember watching this as a kid and cracking up when the host called Heidi "hiney"

[@25FADIII]

In memory of Kristine "Kris" Witherspoon, excuse me Shannen Doherty. 1971-2024

[@christopherglenn3278]

Shannen Doherty has always been cute. I guess she still is. Shannen is always beautiful.

[@jnadle1]

Both Mackenzie Astin and brother Sean are both actors. Sean starred in The Goonies.

[@NYChica23]

Jason Nadle And years later, Sean would also go on to star in the Lord of the Rings trilogy ♥♥♥♥

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Jason Nadle also, after I'm Telling, Sean went on to appear on another short-lived Game Show called Triple Threat with the late Jim Lange during the 88/89 Season and not only that, but both Sean and Mackenzie are the sons of John Astin bka Gomez Addams on The Addams Family and Patty Duke of The Patty Duke Show and Hail to the Chief and shows LIVE on Stage

[@jnadle1]

Goes to show you, the family that acts together, stays together.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Their mom was the late Oscar winning actress Patty Duke and their dad was character actor John Astin (best known for playing Gomez Addams in the cult classic 60s TV series "The Addams Family").

[@AdventuresByKyssa]

i was a little confused that Mackenzie got introduced first...I thought Sean had a lot more going on (The Goonies) than his brother did. I don't know, just found that to be a little bit odd: still one of my favorite episodes to date and the only reason I knew who Sean was to begin with.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

AroundWDW4Free Sean also starred in Encino Man with Pauly Shore of MTV and Brenden Frasier of The Scorpion King

[@LogoMan7777]

AroundWDW4Free You have to remember, MacKenzie was on an NBC show. This was on NBC.

[@GamingDelight]

​@@LogoMan7777 But why did they pick Mackenzie Astin (Sean was his only sibling back then) to represent The Facts of Life instead of Kim Fields, Lisa Whelchel, Sherrie Krenn, or Mindy Cohn? And if they couldn't find anyone to represent TFOL, why couldn't they pick one from other NBC series (sitcoms or animated)?

[@LogoMan7777]

@@GamingDelight I'm guessing they needed to balance out the boy-to-girl ratio. Besides, Mackenzie was a kid at the time. The other "girls" were full women at this point.

[@drummingdanny84]

Brothers Sean and Mackenzie appeared on "I'm Telling!" while parents John and Patty Duke appeared on another NBC game show called "Super Password".

[@XJCherokeeBear]

RIP Shannen Doherty

[@fussyrussy1963]

OMG I remember Rags to Riches ! Think it was only on a season or two !

[@cleftheart]

RIP Shannen Doherty.

[@McCucumber]

God damn the kid from the goonies was so cool as a teenager! Remember in that white water rafting movie he was in where he's the little kid from the goonies in the movie, but he narrates it like a year or two later when he's a cool teenager? Speaking of white water rafting movies, which did you like more White Water Summer or The River Wild?

[@thefamouseugenekrabs]

4:36, the host calls the little girl HINEY.

[@jdfodio]

Sean gets a "C" and Heidi gets an "F" in Paying Attention 101. Shannen totally outed her brother as "partying too much" under her breath, then she became known as a hardcore clubber. Ha!

[@ghunter182003]

I noticed that too!🤣🤣🤣

[@DavidBrady-m6c]

She was Brenda Walsh on Beverly hills 90210 In the 90s

[@kennethclark327]

my cousin told me that heidi was on the just the ten of us..

[@ianward776]

Didn't Shannen Doherty used to Play on 90210 Who was The Name of Her Character on TV?

[@NYChica23]

Ian Ward She was Brenda Walsh, twin sister to Jason Priestley's character ♥♥♥

[@drummingdanny84]

Ian Ward Brenda Walsh.

[@virgilclark9234]

Brenda Walsh

I have no idea what that "State of the Art Video Game" was. Any ideas? Hope they didn't saddle the charity with an Action Max.

Pre-Mallrats/90210 Shannen Doherty, back when she was on Our House

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Chris Kreager You are correct and also, let's not forget about Charmed another show produced by the late Aaron Spelling

[@mhcollectors13]

Had Heathers come out yet??

[@shutterbug_713]

I remember I was devastated when Shannen Doherty lost!

[@randyhughes8450]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@PowerRangersandAnimeUnite]

Why did they choose the Astin brothers instead of a brother-sister team, like all the others?

[@LogoMan7777]

I'm guessing they needed some male representation. Plus, none of the "girls" on The Facts of Life were children. They were all grownups.

[@natvan29]

Yeah they could have had Candice and Kirk as that's when both of their shows were on

[@PowerRangersandAnimeUnite]

Greg Palmer Couldn't they try another show? Plus, Kim Fields was still a teenager back then, and some of these contestants were around her age.

[@peachesj4748]

[@SnazzyDetritus]

CAN'T HEAR THE AUDIO

[@juicebirdmedia1406]

So Sean and Mack were cheated out of 150 points?

[@colonelblimp1021]

Hosted by Mark Mothersbaugh?

[@chads.4161]

How about Donnie Iris?

[@jessyleppert2]

Laurie Fasso

[@drummingdanny84]

Colonel Blimp You'd think, right? But the emcee is comedian/actor/impressionist Laurie Faso. He's appeared on "Home Improvement" and "Martin".

[@benbelzer8303]

Some big age differences here. 😅

[@plushbatfan]

The birthday question seems wee too personal of some sort & carried away.

[@nomadcowatbk]

Isn't this show child abuse
