Out Of ControlNickelodeon's Out of Control was a comedy series series that ran from 1984-1985, and the first series produced for that channel. In his pre-Full House and America's Funniest People days, Dave Coulier starred in this comedy show. Out of Control was goofy, silly, punny, and arguably hilarious. The cast included the aforementioned host Dave Coulier ("Cut..It..Out!"); Diz (Diz McNally), who was a loudmouthed, makeup-encrusted poster child of the 80s, had a secret crush on Dave, and was able to let out a scream so shrill it could break glass; a dumb blonde reporter Angela "Scoop" Quigley (Jill Wakewood); Hern Berferd (Marty Schiff), another reporter, who had the personality of paint thinner; and finally nerdy inventor Waldo (David Stenstrom), who invented a "hurry-up machine" that could make ardous tasks (such as going to school and cleaning your room) go by at spectacular speeds. In addition to the characters, the show was packed with Monty Pythonesque animations by Cliff Johnson. Recurring skits and segments included: It's Probably True, Adult Education, Great Moments in Inventions, and How Not To Do Things.
Out of Control is also a book by Kevin Kelly. The full title is Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World.
