Think I found Shadow's bit about the bird poop:

Of course, I hate the ones that are so obviously faked. I remember this one where this gentleman was on a chair(one where you lay down on it) on the beach, at the water's edge. A small wave crashes in, and the man suddenly falls out of his chair and rolls into the water. It was not even funny, so I have no idea why they even put it on the show. Perhaps he had some dirt on the Producers?

I recall a four year old boy who had two cupcakes, one in each hand and he was going to town licking the icing off the one in his left hand. His grandfather asked him if he could have one of the cupcakes and the kid offered the one in his left hand. Grandpa says no, I'd rather have the other one, kid keeps offering the left one. Grandpa keeps asking and you can see the kid thinking it over. Finally he looks at the cupcake in his right hand, takes a great big swipe of the icing with his tongue, then offers that to Grandpa. It was cute, they won $10,000, but what I thought was really funny was Mom didn't let the kid have any sugar and Grandpa and Dad did all of this behind her back, lol. I'm sure the 10k would take the edge off, but they still had to go home and 'fess up'.

I prefer watching MXC(which I can't find on any of the local stations anymore) and the American version that still airs(I can't recall the name of it at the moment! Eep!).

I recall watching that show when I was younger. My sister actually got the entire series boxset one year for Christmas(the one shaped like a house). I may watch it someday(for some nostalgia).

I've done that with all the shows I used to watch after school. All those old reruns, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island, lol.

That's why he was yelling all the time! LOL.

God, it's all making sense now.
