The Adventures of Mark & Brian was Reality TV years before the craze hit. They were real guys doing real stuff - performing with the Temptations, broadcasting NFL games, training for NASA, swimming with sharks, etc. These weren't stunts, they were reality. It's really a shame that the Adventures of Mark & Brian didn't get pitched 5 years later, as it surely would have been a hit. Compared to some of the other reality shows that have lasted for years, their work was pure genius.
The best show might have been them helping the pregnant woman whose husband was overseas fighting in the Persian gulf. They still have contact with that woman and her son (who is now old enough to drive). Mark & Brain continue to broadcast a spirited, smart, hilarious morning show, without the wacky antics of some other on-air talent. It would be great if they could get NBC to release the rights to this show to them so they could release it on DVD for charity.
