That's Incredible! was one of the biggest hits in 1980s TV history rCo a Monday night ABC phenomenon that had John Davidson, Cathy Lee Crosby,
and Fran Tarkenton introducing some of the most bizarre people and
dangerous stunts ever seen on American television. It was Gen X
nostalgia before we even knew what nostalgia was. But behind the scenes
of this classic 80s family TV show, stuntmen were getting seriously
hurt rCo and the show kept airing the footage anyway. Time magazine
called it the most sadistic show on television ... but that didn't stop
us from watching it!
00:00 The crazy stunt that the show couldn't broadcast
02:02 The Hosts: John Davidson, Cathy Lee Crosby, Fran Tarkenton
02:55 I loved the Bowmar NFL Reading Kit
03:27 That's Incredible! guests who became famous
05:28 The critics were merciless
06:23 Spanky and the Pyramid of Cars
06:51 Stanley Kruml's Fiery 50-yard dash
07:27 Steve Lewis, the man who jumped over speeding cars
09:16 Alan Landsburg's one goal
10:02 The downfall of That's Incredible!
In this video we look back at the real story behind That's Incredible rCo including a five-year-old Tiger Woods, Alicia Witt's incredible origin
story, the FedEx guy John Moschitta, the Gary Wells Caesars Palace
motorcycle crash, the Steve Lewis lawsuit, and why this forgotten ABC
reality TV pioneer disappeared after four seasons. If you grew up
watching 80s television, this one's for you.

The two things I most remember from "That's Incredible" are the guy who jumped over the car, and the guy who snatched arrows out of the air. :)
But I don't think I remember one other thing from that show!!
