Bobby Van hosted this ill attempt at an audience participation show.
Contestants were chosen from the audience, and performed stunts. On some shows, there was the "fun word", which was much like Groucho's "secret word" on You Bet Your Life, where if anyone says it, they win a prize.
My first reaction, when watching this show was "Is THIS supposed to be FUN?" The first stunt was a chair rocking contest, with players dressed as Whistler's Mother. Another stunt was a fruit quiz, with a lady wearing a Carmen Miranda hat. About as much fun as watching paint dry.
Bobby Van would do far better 3 years later as the host of the remake of Make Me Laugh, which helped the careers of Bob Saget, Garry Shandling, and Bruce Baum. It would also be his final show.
