A shame- 52 years old- "flu-like symptoms"
IIRC Remote Control was where Adam Sandler got his start as the "Stud Boy"

Yeah, it was the first place I ever saw Sandler or Colin Quinn. But the real reason to watch was Kari Wuhrer. [:p]

Loved that show. Thanks for the laughs, Ken.
But I was always partial to Marisol. [^]

That's sad. Crazy show. Very funny at times.
I loved Colin Quinn on Remote Control.

I'm with Motors on Kari Wuhrer. I even went so far as to tape her VJ spots in the early 90's (as I recall viewers were sending her bras which she would dutifully wear on camera).
I didn't mind when MTV would have the odd kitschy game show or a rerun of "The Young Ones" to break up the tedium of rotating music videos.
Nowadays you'd have better luck hitting the Pick6 than seeing a music video on MTV and the "reality" shows all suck.
