Something which I only knew about when I flipped through my copy of the GSE was No Relation on FX. Here's a link to a news story on it; but I was unable to find anything on Wikipedia. Nor have I ever seen a clip of it.

I do; you used a crossbow to shoot moving targets for :30, earning :5 for each hit. Then the team had another :30 (plus :5 per hit) to shoot at the warriors who were moving on ziplines.

It was set in an old West town and the contestants competed in Wild West-themed physical challenges. I only ever remember seeing it once, but I remember recognizing Fowler's voice (he was the announcer).

I recall several short-lived theme competitions like that, which I think were trying to capitalize off of American Gladiators' success. Another obscure one from about 20 years ago was Knights and Warriors, with a medieval setting. I remember watching the first half of this as I was getting ready for work on Sunday mornings in '92-'93.

If anyone's looking for some info, there's a page on Bother's Bar about it. Of note is the fact that the actress who portrayed Lady Battleaxe now plays the football coach on some show named Glee.

Mike Rowe was the host. Of course, he has gone on to greater fame as host of "Dirty Jobs." Mike would be good with a "What's My Line" revival--maybe "What's My Dirty Line" to attract young demos.

Always liked him - but this was a crap show. I think Dick Clark produced it? Somewhere in my collection I have the first ep on tape. I don't think I've watched it since.
