Could it be possible that the lack of children’s television programming may have contributed to the lack of education in our children? Most of these after school programs were somewhat educational with the kids using their spelling, geography, problem solving and reading to participate in some of these TV programs. ---

Apparently Diarmid Heidenreich (Dougie) was hosting Challenger and had his episodes recorded around late 1996 when he was still awaiting trial after he was involved in a car accident under the influence of alcohol and drugs earlier that year, when he was later found guilty, he was replaced by the well known Adrian DeVito and Zoe Sheridan. ---

Ol Dougie looked like he didn’t really want to be there when he hosted it. Well, that’s the impression I got anyway. ---

> [@cmo](#): > > Another great TV game show for kids was Vidiot on ABC hosted by Eden Gaha in the mid 90s ABC came to my school to audition students for this show and we went along to the audience to watch. On tonight’s edition of Glenn and Mick’s Celebrity Intervention, it was revealed that Jim Jeffries was a contestant on Vidiot - and went under his real name of Geoffrey. He said that he was a rollover contestant, and lasted five episodes. He won lots of prizes, including movie tickets and other items. The winner on episode 5 won a camcorder, which he narrowly missed out on. ---

I just looked up tv guides from around that era, I thought Dougie Howser MD was a straight replacement for Family Double Dare, but it appears The Wonder Years was the replacement. Also 10 used The Wonder Years for a while in the C time afternoon slot. Did it actually fit in with the C classification? Back on topic, Guess What aired from somewhere around 1992-3 on Nine and Time Masters in mid-90s on Seven ---
