It was one of those video-shows (like America's Funniest Home Videos, but somewhat different) that I think the host compiled and showed. At the start of every ep, some guy would open one of those cushion-y lines connected to metal polls things, used to create lines (like for banks or amusement parks), and the host would walk through to facing the screen, and narrate a bit, with (I think) rows of TVs behind him, and then we'd see the videos. At the end, he's walk back through that area and off-screen, and the first guy would close the line back behind him.

Sorry, but that's all I can remember, aside from misremembering it called "Rogan's Heroes," which I searched for and came up with nada. It can't be "Hogan's Heroes," as it was a totally different show.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Starz cancelled the show, Bruce Campbell has retired as Ash, and there's going to be a post-show video game called "Evil Dead: The Game", so help us with our petition for tie-in and/or continuation comics of it!

Also, I've made a .doc file for a posted flyer for the page. Please also print and post these pages at your LCS.

Ha, I couldn't think of the name for those things either and really felt the need to search online and find out what they are called. They are called stanchions.

I think that's it. Thanks. It's weird, but I think I recall there being a show starting (post-opening sequence) & ending (pre-closing credits) where the stanchions(s) and its mover were closer to the screen. Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong?

Thanks for that too. Yeah, it is a kind of obscure name.
