- Axel Kyster, David Brookfield and Mike Stoops show their TV trivia nerdness on this short-lived syndicated game show. I believe it was recorded in late 1988 and aired in 1989. Thanks to Axel for winning us $5,000 in record time!

My jaw dropped at the Channel Roulette bonus game. WOW.
Couch Potatoes needs a reboot!
Fact: CBS Media Ventures is the successor for Group W Productions, Inc.
Finally found this, I remember my brother and I watching this show late at night during summer vacation
Congratulations on winning the show Mike, Dave did will, and axle for picking the lucky number your team did very good.
Congratulations

I remember this game show and the host of Unwrapped.

"It's worth 25 or you......" some habits die hard don't they lol
I thought I was the only one that caught that. He was so close to saying “dare them” 😂😂
This show premiered in Syndication on January 23, 1989. (the same day Marc Summers' signature game show, "Double Dare", became "Super Sloppy Double Dare"; at that time, new episodes aired exclusively in Syndication, instead of on Nickelodeon) The final first-run episode was on June 9, and that was followed by 13 weeks of Summer repeats. "Couch Potatoes" left the Syndication airwaves on September 8, the same day "Double Dare" also left the Syndication airwaves, and began reruns on USA Cable on September 11, the same day as two other game show reruns in "Hollywood Squares" (w/John Davidson) and "Wipeout" began (they also left Syndication on September 8); the USA reruns of this show lasted until March 23, 1990.
Not only that Marc flew back and forth to do both shows
So, 100 episodes were produced for this show, traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to Philadelphia was the first task when doing 2 series, but by the time the other moved to FL, Couch Potatoes must've ended production. Some markets saw the last glimpse of Couch Potatoes on August 11 and had to wait 4 weeks before seeing it again in reruns on USA.
Marc snd joe were both invloved in 2 series and the same time Marc was doing double dare in Orlando and joe was on out of this world /
Louis Tenore I thought I was the only one who remembered out of this world!!
This is an original broadcast, based on Joe Alaskey, the announcer, reading off the parting gifts. Towards the end of this shows' 100 episode run (May 1989, I think), Jim McKrell took over announcing duties, and redubbed the parting gifts on the Alaskey episodes for the Summer reruns.
Jim of course we ALL know from Celebrity Sweepstakes
Remote Control But With Filmation All Over It.
Need the rules
boy the Dennis the Menace bit remind me of To Tell the Truth
Yeah. Which #3 is the real Dennis the Menace.
Didn't tell us the 2 other imposters names
7:18 - Audience having a good time with the "Come from Behind" line
21:42 Same logo we saw on the first three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Only that version had "ENTERTAINMENT" or "INTERNATIONAL" as opposed to "PRODUCTIONS".
Yes, the Saban logo was at the end of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." The Group W logo was at the end of the earliest episodes of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
@@libertubey2199 Can someone help me? I'm blind. Music wise. I'm Blind. What is the music for Group W? Sounds happy!
@@codymerryman5605 It is played at the very end of "Couch Potatoes."
@@libertubey2199 Thanks! I heard the same logo on other game shows besides this one.
Five Grand in only ONE second! :D
I call it HALF a second...but who's counting?? Okay...me...
What happened, I blinked and they won 5,000 dollars
@@axelkyster2642 LOL
THE BRADY BUNCH DID IT RIGHT AWAY WITH ONE SWIPE INCREDIBLE! MAYBE ON THE NEXT UPLOAD WILL DO IT. NEXT UP IT'S WIPE OUT DON'T GO WAY!
I want a Dazey turbo spa and a Salad Shooter
RIP Joe Alaskey.
I Can't believe it
my spine just think about
Of course Michael, your name came off your nametag amidst the bonus round win.
What are the rules
Incidentally, the answer to that final "Couch-Up" question was "The Andy Griffith Show".
Well done. Yeah...Dave had it...
Fastest winner ever in game show history?
I like to think so. We made 2.4 MILLION dollars an hour right then.... Wish it had gone on a little longer... Sigh.
This show was good, it should've lasted longer.
Remote Control was better than this.
Yes it should have
APPLE'S WAY? wow.
Oh yeah...
Do you remember how you & your Teammates spent the $5K?
18:20 - Holy...! :D
To make a pun on a movie: "The Couch Potatoes Who Knew Too Much."
Jason Nadle do you one better from a well-known sports broadcaster. I don’t believe, what I just saw! I don’t believe what I just saw!
Why have I never heard about the time you met Mark Summers?????????
That was the whole story....Brian..>Stoops???
Does anyone know who the impostors were?
16:25 Cancelled
Marc Summers does a terrible Desi Arnez impression.
He did that several times on Family Double Dare before a stunt called "HONEY! I'm Home! (Insert goofy chuckle)"
@@jnadle1 I remember that, even as a kid I found it goofy and cheesy but dammit if it didn't add to his charm. To me, he's the patron saint of kids game show hosts
