26 years ago this week (May 1989) I was in NYC filming this episode of Remote Control on MTV starring the late, great Ken Ober and of course, Colin Quinn. Episode originally first aired on July 3 or 4, 1989.

@Murgatroydian4 жыл бұрын
I had a friend who won a similar contest but the band backed out. She had the free trip to London though. I think they hyped these things into more than really was on offer, with specially designed exit clauses in the contracts. But who knows? Maybe this one was bomb. Would be cool to hear the story.

A different horse who died in Oklahoma in February 1979 was widely thought to be Bamboo Harvester, but this horse was, in fact, a horse that posed for the still pictures of Mister Ed used by the production company for the show's press kits. This horse was unofficially known as "Mister Ed", which led to his being reported as such (including sardonic comments on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update) following his own death.

Well…16 & Pregnant was before Teen Mom and even that was 15 years after this. To me, this was the prime of MTV…Real World was great initially. This show at least tied in pop culture and current music. It was more of the demise of music videos themself that forced MTV to make the unfortunate changes they did.
