The world feels worse in so many ways today than it did in the 1980s... and yet when I think to myself, "I wonder if J.D. Roth's Fun House still exists somewhere," I turn on the internet and here it is! I'm so grateful for this walk down memory lane. We live in a truly great age to be nostalgic for our childhoods. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
I agree one of the good things today is you can find these gems again online. But yes those days were better times. Not perfect. But better than today.
I used to love to watch this show all the time and I never forgot meeting JD Roth! He was the 1st "celebrity from T.V." I ever met!😊 He was a guest host at our Annual Thanksgiving day parade in Chicago and I was able to go up to him after the Parade and got up the nerve to ask him for an autograph he was really nice! #80sbabiesRule
same here I was only able to watch half an hour of it then had to go back to school back in the day I miss this show and the race theme is still stuck in my head
I believe JD also did "Game Pro" video game magazine show in which he would unveiled the latest secret codes and latest games of that time. I remember waking my kid ass early at 7am on Saturday just to watch Game Pro! Amazing times to be a kid!
@@freakyfornash I wish I could remember the show which had the maze at the end. It was a light up 8x8 grid, you watched the pattern and had to follow it
Damn Eric. Thanks for sharing your experience on the show. I'm not sure why you and your partner were going so slow...!!! But it was fun to watch this again. I remember watching regularly as a kid.
I watched Fun House on WDCA in D.C. when it was syndicated from 1988 until 1990, when it moved to Fox, picking up and renaming it Fox's Fun House for the 3rd season and became a weekly Saturday morning offering, airing on Saturday Mornings as part of FOX KIDS on Fox affiliate WTTG/5 beginning on September 8, 1990 until April 13, 1991, when it was replaced by Swamp Thing.
Every weekday afternoon at 4 PM during season 1 (weekday mornings at 8 AM during season 2) on WPIX and weekday afternoon at 4 PM on WNYW during season 3.
Am I the only one who thought JD Roth had a strong resemblance to Donny Wahlberg during his New Kids on the Block days? It might have been because they were both popular at the same time.
I can remember watching this specific episode when it was on tv, only because i was freaking out at how slow the kids were moving. I know the uploader is one of the contestants, so I mean no disrespect, but I've remembered you for thirty years now, lol. Can't believe I've found and got to rewatch the only episode I actually remember!
Wow, I remember this show, and it's cool you were a contestant on the show. Wish I had the opportunity to go on, but I used to love this show. They should bring it back sometime.
There's an aboslute huge difference in the US/UK versions of the show. Mainly that it's illegal to give kids cash on game shows, and also (then) prizes like the power prize had to be won by skill based means, instead of luck based means.
Tau gak bro saya nyari acara ini sampai komet.Dapet acara dengan nama sama cuma beda UK doang beda banget.Ini Fun house tapi yang USA.ini yang saya cari Acara di TVRI yang pernah ada.
The audition was hard or the show itself was hard? If the first one, give details please! I always wanted to know what you had to do to get on these shows.
They need an adult version of the Fun House for the kids who grew up with this show! College Madhouse doesn't count, because we are all way past college age now.
Eric this is a really good quality tape of the episode. Did Fun House actually provide you with their own official tape of the show for being a contestant or did you just timer record it on the highest setting from home? Also, tell us about your experience. I loved watching this show as a kid and dreamed of being a contestant. Was it as enjoyable an experience to be on as it was to watch? Or were there all kinds of hidden inconveniences off camera? Did you like working with J.D. and Tiny or no?
Would like to see GSN air it at least on Saturday mornings, but with the exception of MATCH GAME, you will NOT see anything pre-2000 there. PS: Would like to see the show featured on KIDS REACT in some way.
As a kid, I used to be so excited but now I realize the runner up just gets a hundred buck and the winners could get camera, telephone set bicycle etc lol. A television show of such level offering just this ... Now it really feels funny.
1. J. D. Roth also formed a production company that created reality shows like The Biggest Loser. 2. Tiny was eventually replaced by Michael Chambers aka Boogaloo Shrimp.

It’s not worse over all. My friend has a type of tooth infection and was told if this happened back then he’d die.
You just said all the same reasons why I'm here too.👍
@@rogermacinnis2761 Tell your friend to find a new Dr.
Oh man… I used to LOVE this show as a kid!
Me too I used to watch it after school

I loves this show as a kid. I used to make my own version of Fun Home at home in Puerto Rico with my friends. Ahhh memories!
Me too... I used to play alone by using imaginary characters and using yellow & red papers
Me and my siblings used to play it at home too!
Still one of my favorite shows after school the 80s were so awesome as a kid
It was on at lunchtime in Canada
@@TheBasedCanadian exactly! I would skip school to watch this
Yes indeed
@@TheBasedCanadian yup, I remember, so I could only watch on days I was off from school :(
I loved watching this show everyday after school!! I was hurt when it went off 😔😔😔
same here I was only able to watch half an hour of it then had to go back to school back in the day I miss this show and the race theme is still stuck in my head
your not the only one that was hurt I still have the race theme stuck in my head and its been like 25 years
Same here! 😀
I remember when it moved to Saturday mornings.
I was hurt too. But, at least we still had Double Dare......
one of the most exciting beautiful amazing shows of my childhood....
Wow did the red team suck in the fun house.
I believe JD also did "Game Pro" video game magazine show in which he would unveiled the latest secret codes and latest games of that time. I remember waking my kid ass early at 7am on Saturday just to watch Game Pro! Amazing times to be a kid!
You right he did do GamePro TV show Saturday morning
He also hosted the first season of the Masters of the Maze show during the mid 90's too.
@@freakyfornash I wish I could remember the show which had the maze at the end. It was a light up 8x8 grid, you watched the pattern and had to follow it
@@nesmandan1037 There's several episodes of it on here if you want to take a look too.
I remember watching this before school in 1989. Man, this brings back some memories. Strong nostalgia.
They used to show this and 'Slime Time' on Sunday mornings back in the 80's. Good days.
Been looking for this show for years
Seeing after 34 years 😢😢😢😢😢 when I kid 😢😢😢😢😢
Damn Eric. Thanks for sharing your experience on the show. I'm not sure why you and your partner were going so slow...!!! But it was fun to watch this again. I remember watching regularly as a kid.
This was definitely a show I wanted to be on. Other than Double Dare. I remember sitting at home and watching!
I used to watch this show every saturday afternoon when i was in my primary school on local channel in my country indonesia and i love it
On tvri😁😁😁
tvri bro
I would watch this show every day. And then one day I came home to find the channel had switched to being Family Channel. I was chagrined.
I used to think about the funhouse everyday for almost 2 years
I still think about it to this very day
Me too
BRAH they BOTH we're moving SLOW in the end...
Absolutely loved this show growing up. I watched it everyday religiously!
THIS IS MY EPISODE IM latesha! Ive been looking for this for years ty Eric for posting and i hope ur doing well!

@@johnrojas9535 Yes i do!!!! Still mad that we lost but everytime the episode ran we got another Toys R Us gift certificate in the mail! 🤣
That made me laugh when you said you liked enchiladas I like them too 😅
@@johnrojas9535 Ha!
I miss this program so much
I use to watch this show when I was little!!!
i miss this show this was so my childhood show and I still have the race theme stuck in my head for over 25 years
I watched Fun House on WDCA in D.C. when it was syndicated from 1988 until 1990, when it moved to Fox, picking up and renaming it Fox's Fun House for the 3rd season and became a weekly Saturday morning offering, airing on Saturday Mornings as part of FOX KIDS on Fox affiliate WTTG/5 beginning on September 8, 1990 until April 13, 1991, when it was replaced by Swamp Thing.
I really loved to see this show. It's like a dream place for me.
Fun House was actually even more popular in the UK..... it lasted for ten years till 1999.
My brother and I loved this show❤❤❤
My childhood memories
Aah those wonderful days
I wish those golden days back to me
Every weekday afternoon at 4 PM during season 1 (weekday mornings at 8 AM during season 2) on WPIX and weekday afternoon at 4 PM on WNYW during season 3.
This show and Legends of the Hidden Temple were my childhood, lol.
Am I the only one who thought JD Roth had a strong resemblance to Donny Wahlberg during his New Kids on the Block days? It might have been because they were both popular at the same time.
This was one tripindicular show I'm coming up on 39 yrs. Old so far I still feel 👍 but the bitchin memories
I miss watching this ...😃
Takes me back to the good old days ✨
Funny to see everyone wearing Brittish Knights sneakers. I always forget about those things...but they were cool for 15mins
I loved this show! My sister and I were just talking about it a month ago!
OMG. For all these years I thought this guy hosted Finders Keepers. I forgot this show existed, and now its all coming back to me.
Kenangan masa kecilku
I feel old😩😩😩😞...how time flies...my childhood show😭
I know now we're in times kids today we would've had committed
My childhood2kenny😃
JD Roth 80/90s tv legend
I am so jealous! I wanted to be on that show SOOOO badly!
I can remember watching this specific episode when it was on tv, only because i was freaking out at how slow the kids were moving. I know the uploader is one of the contestants, so I mean no disrespect, but I've remembered you for thirty years now, lol. Can't believe I've found and got to rewatch the only episode I actually remember!
I loved this show it was on before my brother and I went to school.
This show brings back memories. It even rivaled the original Double Dare.
Best times of my life
Remember this show, childhood memories...😣
Oh the core FEELS! That & this was taped from KTTY!!!!! I miss San Diego.
🤔 I can’t believe I never noticed that the red team cheated... cheerleader handed her the lace.... sketchy I tell ya!!!
Yup, I saw that too! 👀
You mean at 7:54
My childhood memories ❤
Wow, I remember this show, and it's cool you were a contestant on the show. Wish I had the opportunity to go on, but I used to love this show. They should bring it back sometime.
My favourite shows when i was a kid. How much i want to join this game
Really a shame shows like this one and double dare when off tv.
I’m married to the girl from the red team!
was she having a bad day?
David Smith her partner was definitely. Lol
@@michaelwalker3920 "her partner" uploaded the video
Did she actually get the prices and money TALK ABOUT IT😁
God I'm old haha
My favorite show when I was a little boy
Man, I forgot about this show. I loved it.
I really love it when JD count the token
Sound of coins😁
They should air this version in the UK and the UK version should air in the USA. Just to show the difference the shows had
There's an aboslute huge difference in the US/UK versions of the show. Mainly that it's illegal to give kids cash on game shows, and also (then) prizes like the power prize had to be won by skill based means, instead of luck based means.
This was all i thought about as a child. To be on this show. I wanted to go down the slide into the water.😊
2:35 #8 was dripping lol
Suka banget sama kuiz ini waktu masih kecil
Thank you for the video.Ot reminded me when I was in .y primary school
wow! this is games shows in 80' (TVRI - Indonesian television).
Tau gak bro saya nyari acara ini sampai komet.Dapet acara dengan nama sama cuma beda UK doang beda banget.Ini Fun house tapi yang USA.ini yang saya cari Acara di TVRI yang pernah ada.
haiii saya juga nyari acara ini ..acara kesukaan saya dan abang saya..acara ini di akhir 80 an dan awal 90an
I loved this show! Great memories.
Oh Boy Those were the Days.
My aunt auditioned for the show. She said it was really hard.
The audition was hard or the show itself was hard? If the first one, give details please! I always wanted to know what you had to do to get on these shows.
Man i miss being a kid. Every day after school i was locked in. Rooting like an nfl game
this show needs to come back the music was so good I miss the race theme and the running through the fun house theme
They need an adult version of the Fun House for the kids who grew up with this show! College Madhouse doesn't count, because we are all way past college age now.
I can never get tired of this shoe
Wow I loved this show and had a huge crush on the twins 👯
I did, too.
Me and my sister used to play this in my grandma's basement. We'd use baby food jar lids as the tokens!!!! It was amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember that syndicated series. Gotta love Jackie and Sandy.
JD mention Green Slime. On the Surprise Shower game. Kind nice he mentioned it from another network.
He mentioned green 'schmutz", not slime!
nidusaquilae76 He called it both names.
I love these dated prizes
Look at that tech cardless phone, analog camera, LOL i miss the 80s
This was my show! I'm feeling sentimental!
JD Roth is also an executive producer for Bar Rescue!

Double dare is back again but where is fun house? They should bring back fun house.
Perich29 Yes indeed..This was my show as a kid.
And JD Roth should host again
But with College Mad House’s endgame format
Would like to see GSN air it at least on Saturday mornings, but with the exception of MATCH GAME, you will NOT see anything pre-2000 there.
PS: Would like to see the show featured on KIDS REACT in some way.
Yeah wasn't it like part of the set
The finders keepers game show is also on TH-cam
I miss this show.
My fav tv show when i was in Junior School 😎
Awesome ! Red team kicked ass , but then went way too slow in the fun house . That damn shower room , everyone has a difficult time in there .
Do you have any from the 1989 season? November episodes specifically? Love this show!
I like when Pressure Cooker is part of the Funhouse!
I used to run home from school everyday to watch it
I miss this show big fan from indonesia
What a show I love it😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
This show aired at TVRI(Indonesia) in 1987
As a kid, I used to be so excited but now I realize the runner up just gets a hundred buck and the winners could get camera, telephone set bicycle etc lol. A television show of such level offering just this ... Now it really feels funny.
That is a very good grand prize.
I love the fun House game show
sue!
You were pretty handsome as a kid! And your cousin was really pretty!
I forgot about this show
I remember this!!... wasn't there a board game of this too??
For a moment, I thought that "Tiny" was Rod Roddy in disguise.
Bro, nice! What was it like behind the scenes?
1. J. D. Roth also formed a production company that created reality shows like The Biggest Loser. 2. Tiny was eventually replaced by Michael Chambers aka Boogaloo Shrimp.
I so badly wanted to be on this show!
