Anybody remember the Walt Disney World Inside and Out show they used to run on the Disney channel? Each half hour episode, they used to take you to different attractions and locations and tell you all about it? Gave some behind the scenes stuff? And who was the original host? That guy was great. I actually got to watch them film an episode in the perfume shop in France pavillion. Why did they ever take that off the air. That show use to give me such a Disney fix... It was like therapy for me... :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

I certainly miss that series myself as well. I suspect that going weekly, it ran it's course (for some, not me) rather quickly. The host was a comedian named Scott Herriott. I seem to remember a very large red couch that kep appearing all over the property as part of the intro to sequences.

Cool, he's on G4TechTV.. Except that G4TechTV was ruined by one letter and a number (G4).

Yes!! Thank you. I couldn't remember his name. I know I have a bunch of episodes on VHS tapes somewhere in my basement. I always had to tape them so I could overdose on them later. I need to find them. I often wondered how many episodes they could do before running out of topics or attractions. I also wonder how many of those episodes are now obsolete due to rides changing and the such. I didn't care much for the show post Scott Herriott though... :cool:

I think you mean it was ruined by something called TechTV, but yes I loved that show. I actually have the very first episode of Inside Out on tape, TOT was still being built, that show in front of the FW fountain was still there and theres alot more stuff there too. And yes ya gotta love the couch.

My dad has some of the Scott Herriott episodes on VHS and every now and then we drag them out and watch them. It's amazing how that show never really gets old. The things that I laughed at when I first saw them, I still laugh at now. Scott was great! I saw him on tv once since his Inside Out days...he appeared on a documentary about Bigfoot sightings.
I'm sure there's several episodes that are obsolete now. For instance, in one episode, instead of sitting on his red couch, he was in a red skyway car with a big yellow Mickey head on it. And he did an episode which breifly went behind the scenes of Splashtacular...the Epcot fountain show which featured a big metal t-rex. Oh, and he was in the giant phone booth at Innoventions while guests called their families....do they still have that giant phone?
I completely agree...the show was never the same after Scott left it....what happened with that anyway? Does anyone know why he left?
*sigh* Such a classic show. I doubt we'll ever see it on DVD, though. :(
Hey, does anyone remember the turkey leg episode?

What about JD Roth and George Foreman and that other woman?

Right, JD Roth and a young lady co-hosted the show way before Tower Of Terror or Splashtacular... I'd say it was back in the mid-80's when WDW was a 2-park resort with admission at about $18 per day. Inside-Out would have been featuring such new attractions as Horizons, Captain Eo, and Morocco.

I loved that show! I have often wondered why they don't do something like it again, but since they have the clips that run on Disney Channel (Disney 411 etc) I don't think they feel there is a need for such a show. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it again. I loved the inside info, the "secrets", hidden Mickey's etc. I don't remember seeing it with anyone before JD Roth, but we didn't have Disney Channel until the early 90's. We never missed an episode, and yet we didn't even make our first trip to the world until 2000!

I used to have lots on Inside Out episodes on tape, they all were from the JD Roth/George Foreman days though. I distinctly remember them going behind the scenes at Catastrophe Canyon, and George Foreman I think at one point was playing with an AA Figure. Anyway, I can't watch them anymore because my mother decided it would be nice to steal a tape from me without checking first and use that tape at the hospital to record the ultrasound of my little brother. Sigh....It just had to be THAT tape.

As a side note, that same tape had the 25th Anniversary show on it. I remember Drew Carey hosted at least a part of it. And they showed the brand new BOARDWALK! ...Is it wrong of me to hold this against my little brother now to add guilt?

I'd most definately have to disagree with you. JD Roth, George Foreman, and Brianne Leary co-hosted the show starting in 95', which was after Scott hosted it. Scott covered Tower of Terror (I still have that episode)...I don't think it was open yet when he filmed that episode, he was just showing it from the outside and giving a clue to the viewers as to what the ride would be like.
But JD, George, and Brianne were most definately after Scott and they took over the show in mid-90's, not mid-80's. That's when the show went from something comical and fun to something rather annoying.
If you need proof, compare the two:

Well this makes a little more sense to me now. I didn't remember George Foreman and J.D. Roth hosting the show. Most likely because I stopped watching when Scott H. left. Thanks Dizknee_Phreek. It appears the name fits. :D

OT--I was in the MK on the day they were filming the 25th anniversary special, and I got to meet Drew Carey! I honestly didn't recognize him at first and even thought he was a very friendly cast member from Cleveland (he commented on my Indians hat). Well, instead of a cast nametag, there was a rather large ketchup stain where the tag should have been. I saw him by the Main Street Exposition center, and I was at least halfway down Main Street when it hit me that "That was Drew Carey!" Months later, I was watching the special and there was a shot of him eating a french fry and getting a large blob of ketchup right where a cast nametag would be. And I still watch the special occasionally :)
