Adventures of Mark and Brian, The – Nostalgia Central

1 9 9 1 – 1 9 9 2 (USA)
Episodes 13 x 30 minutes

On their morning radio show, which began on KLOS-FM in 1987, Los Angeles disc jockeys Mark (Thompson) and Brian (Phelps) made prank phone calls and pulled numerous stunts that must have been funny to hear but not to see.

Imagine Robert Goulet serenading Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day from a helicopter equipped with a giant megaphone or an 8 x 16 foot head Elvis Presley It is being towed across the country to Graceland in Memphis in honor of the King.

The premise of the television series was that each week Mark and Brian would think of a new fantasy they wanted to fulfill.

For the rest of the half hour, the film crew followed them as they got ready and then they did.

Their “adventures” include floating weightlessly above the Earth during real astronaut training and performing on stage Temptations During a real concert, diving with sharks (with advice from… Sea fishingLloyd Bridges).

Maybe it looked better than it did because of NBC The Adventures of Mark and Brian It was one of the lowest-rated new shows of the 1991-1992 season.

With the subsequent popularity of reality TV shows in the 21st century, it can be said that Mark and Brian were only a decade or two ahead of their time.
