Does anyone remember that TV show “Studs”? I think it was the precurser for things like Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire.
They’d have a couple of guys and a gaggle of girls, and they’d all date each other then come and talk about it, and choose who they would go out with again. If they matched up, they’d get another date paid for by the show.
They were usually all total hoes and you could totally tell when they’d had sex. It was a tacky show, but I watched it all the time.
Yeah, despite my usual loathing of the genre I admit to absolutely loving this show. Full of double-entendres that were actually funny.
I’m reminded of that Simpsons episode where Homer is watching a parody of the show,Hunks.
Hunk “I like making bacon on the beach”
Homer watching at home"ooo me too,drool…"
Where we see that Homer is literally thinking of making bacon on the beach. 
With Host Mark DeCarlo!
I have only seen him once since then. He played Alec Berrrrrrg on Seinfeld.
O.J. victim Ron Goldman was a contestant.
No way! Seriously?
(did he get laid? Heh.)
We used to watch this show all the time. It came on at 1:30am, so you could watch Letterman and then switch over to Studs. I kind of lost interest after it was revealed that the women’s comments about their dates were provided for them by the show’s writers.
What a guilty pleasure it was…
But at least it allowed you to use some imagination – as opposed to current “date” shows…
Oooh. I remember this show. I think there were usually two guys and three girls. The guys got a date with each of the girls, and they are sat there and talked about the dates. At the end, the guys would pick the girl they liked, and then the girls would pick the guys they liked. If the guy picked a girl who picked him, they won… something.
I think that’s right. I may be mixing it up with Love Connection.
And… Like everything else, there was a porn “Parody” of it called… FOXES.
With Ron Jeremy
That seemed pretty obvious to me from the start.
Wait, wait…lemme guess…Fox?
I enjoyed that show thoroughly. I thought the best was when one of the girls had obviously slept with the guy and then he picked someone else as the person he wanted to go out with again. The look on her face as what had happened dawned on her was priceless.
Since others have come forward I, too, will admit to having watched this show once. Okay, twice.
Alright, often. Everytime it came on. Happy now?
Mark DeCarlo’s only work since then (that I’m aware of) is on the abysmal “The X-Show”, which was basically like “The Man Show” taking itself seriously.
Yeah. Shrugs
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Tami from the 2nd season of MTV’s The Real World a contestant on Studs? I seem to recall that being her singular claim to fame.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
He also had a bit part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie, not TV show). He played the psychobabbling high school basketball coach: “Actualize! Assert your personhood!”
Only to rest.
Boring show. Boring boring show.
