Help me find the name of this TV show from 1980

[Deja Q]

The host was named (David?) Horowitz and the show was about product quality and product scams.

A good show, and I'm wondering why nothing like it would air today.

[uhhuh]

1. Fight Back!

Fight Back! with David Horowitz.

[trotsky]

2. FIGHT BACK

n/t

[TennesseeWalker]

3. And it's that same Horowitz, unfortunately.

[Shakespeare]

17. No, it isn't.

Two completely different men.

4. I used to know David Horowitz

It was a different David Horowitz, however, LOL! He was my contact at the ABC Network and used to call me at work, as a part of my job. My co-workers just assumed he was the "Fight Back!" David Horowitz and they were so impressed! They would practically drop the phone if they answered and he identified himself! Maybe you had to be there...:shrug:

5. Is the tv show David Horowitz the same one who is now

Is the tv show David Horowitz the same one who is now a right-wing pundit?

[catzies]

7. Yes indeedy do.

He's a complete tool.

The other TV personality turned RW nutjob here in LA was Bruce Herschensohn. Good riddance to them both.

10. What's with TV consumer affairs correspondents turning right-wing?

Like John "Porn Star Mustache" Stossel of ABC.



It's just one more reason not to trust Ralph Nader. ;-)

[Deja Q]

13. Good grief, you're right!

He looks like a porn king... I won't dare mention what type of porn as I'm not lookin' for a lawsuit... :eyes: :evilgrin:

I wonder what he'd look like without the mustache... :scared:

[SoCalDem]

16. Not the same Horowitz

:)

[RandomKoolzip]

12. No, he isn't.

The RW Whoreowitz has a moustache and glasses; the consumer crusader has neither. Different guy.

[ronzo]

14. He's right, you know.

Different guy, folks.

[Nailzberg]

6. Kenneth Cole's daughter is my ex!

Not that Kenneth Cole, but you should have seen the countergirls at Nordstrom fall over helping her whenever she went with Dad's credit card.

I love when people fall for the same common name thing.

[corarose]

8. I use to watch his show

I hate his sorry ass guts now.

[KC21304]

9. It is not the same one !

Fight back is David Horowitz.

Just call me Queen of Obscure Trivia.

19. I rmember it was "Fight Back!" and before they 'funked it up'...

it was called "Dave Horowitz Consumer Byline". I rmember the 'prize' for havving your letter published on the show as a 7" single version of the theme song.
