was the host of the PAX game show SUPERMARKET SWEEP, David Ruprecht? I loved that game show and everytime I would watch it, I couldn't help but remember that was the guy that Janet ended up marrying on TC.

I remember watching this a long time ago when I was like in second or third grade but I never knew about TC back then!!! I think they should have given her a cuter husband like David from UITA....at least we knew him!

Ha Ha!!!! I may be the second GILLIGAN FANATIC around here!!!:D

As a matter of fact, when David was shown on TC to be Janet's husband, I told myself, I have seen that guy on this and this and that show, etc. I already knew his face.

It's way off topic. :rolleyes: No you don't get charged, you've been here long enough to know that.

Back on Topic, I didn't realize it was the same person until last year.
I remember that show being on Lifetime when it first came out, It was around 5 or 6pm, which I think is considered the dinner hour.

That's pretty cool. Bewitched is a cool show.

Mr. Roper (norman fell) also appeared in the Dustin Hoffman movie "The Graduate" along with Richard Dreyfuss. Guess what? He also played a landlord in that movie!!!!!!!

I also knew that David played Janet's husband. I use to watch Supermarket Sweep all the time when it used to be on. I always watched him and thought about Three's Company at the same time. Oh and by the way Mr. Roper does rock.
