Oh, what a fun and informative show this was! Basically a live-action edition of Consumer Reports, each week _Fight Back_ would feature David Horowitz taking products manufacturers to task, forcing them to live up to the claims made in their commercials. Could a Dodge Ram really tow one pick-up while carrying another. Would that carpet cleaner actually remove grape juice stains? Could that suitcase withstand a blow from a sledge hammer?
It was always suspenseful to this 13-year-old kid as he waited to find out if there really was truth in advertising. And I must say, this program was more effective on me as a consumer than any TV commercial. If something survived the challenge on the show, that was the brand I recommended to my mom. Every time. Too bad it's not around any more. I would have loved to watch him reconstruct the Golden Gate Bridge to race Sebrings.
