Fight Back! with David Horowitz

Fight Back! with David Horowitz was a weekly consumer advocate show that ran from 1976 to 1992. The show, hosted by David Horowitz, informed consumers about corporations and other big businesses whose products were of poor quality. The format of the show allowed for some humorous segments, such as allowing people to send in photos of unintentionally funny signs (similar to Jay Leno's Headlines). In 1987, the show was awarded best public affairs series for a network station and Horowitz also received a regional Emmy for host/moderator.
