Were You A USA UP ALL NIGHT Fan? Then Need Your Help Please!

It has been a long time since I have seen this movie but I remember it though! I use to watch USA UP ALL NIGHT back when I was in Junior high and high school. I even watched it when I was in college!

If you were a fan of B movies, cult classics, horror movies, and a few mainstream movies then we need your help! I came here because I found out that this was shown on USA UP ALL NIGHT back when it was on the weekends with our great hosts Caroline Schlitt who hosted on Friday nights until Rhonda Shear stepped in to replace her.

Then there was Gilbert Gottfried on Saturday nights to host the movies that they were going to show. If you were a fan of this show or have family and friends that were then please help out to bring a great show back on the weekends again!

Thanks for helping out! I appreciate you signing guy! When I signed this petition I was number 46 and it has grown a lot since August of this year. My goal is to get enough signatures to sign onto the petition and then take it to the newspapers and TV stations to get more people to remember this great show that was once on and to bring it back on Friday and Saturday nights as well!

any progress?

[–] RobBase086-1 16 years ago

Thank you for signing! I appreciate that a lot! I have not heard anything from USA Network and I was getting ready to notify G4 to let them know that a lot of fans of USA UP ALL NIGHT and people who love movies like what USA UP ALL NIGHT use to show on Friday and Saturday nights would love to see this back on TV.

I was planning to contact USA Network when the petition hits 20,000 signatures to let them know that the fans and new fans of USA UP ALL NIGHT wants to see it back on again. Rhonda Shear owns the rights to USA UP ALL NIGHT now so if any major network who was interested in wanting to bring back USA UP ALL NIGHT then Rhonda Shear could agree on a deal with them or say no about it.

USA Network lost their rights of the show I guess back in 2002 when they tried to revive it with another female host. Her name was I think Caroline Barba. The thing is that USA Network screwed up by removing USA UP ALL NIGHT back in 1998 with the hosts Rhonda Shear and Gilbert Gottfried.

By getting rid of those two hosts it really hurt USA UP ALL NIGHT a lot. I will keep you informed not to worry and I thank you for signing the petition! Every signatures helps out a lot!

Right now the petition is at 12,909 signatures and continues to grow every day, week, and month! I am not going to give up until this is brought back to some major network. This petition has helped Rhonda Shear to get a reality show on some major network this summer.

The name of the show is called PANTY RAID and if you want to check it out you can go to YouTube to see the clips that Rhonda Shear has posted on there for the ideas of the show. I apoligize if this is so long but I wanted to let fans know about this.

If I may share an idea...

I would utilize some high-traffic website to get the petition more publicity. Specifically, I was thinking it would be very worthwhile to compile a few memorable scenes from USA Up All Night and post to YouTube. And then at the end of the clip, have some sort of plug for the petition (e.g., "Help Bring Back USA Up All Night......Go to www.blahblah.com to sign the petition"). I just think that more fans of the show would likely search on YouTube for it vs. look on the imdb message board.

I could be wrong, but it certainly couldn't hurt. Someone here might even be able to help with the clip compilation (I'm not an expert myself, otherwise I would offer).

[–] RobBase086-1 16 years ago

Yes that is great to hear ideas from you and I do not have a problem at all with it. Well I do have an account with YouTube and the video clips are already in the website that my friend and I created for USA UP ALL NIGHT! I added the video clips with all of the hosts who hosted USA UP ALL NIGHT like Caroline Schlitt, Rhonda Shear, and Gilbert Gottfried. All I have to do is figure out a way of adding the website to YouTube so other USA UP ALL NIGHT fans can see it.

Thanks for passing that information to me! I appreciate that a lot cause I would love to see USA UP ALL NIGHT back on the weekends again!

Well I just figured that since at one time USA UP ALL NIGHT showed movies like this on their program at one time it was a connection to it tom-721. If it were not for USA UP ALL NIGHT then a lot of people would not have heard of Student Bodies at all you know.

The petition is at right now 17,119 signatures and continues to grow everyday, week, month and year. When I signed the petition I was only the 46th person to sign it and now there is a heck of a lot more people who have signed the petition now. So it has everything to do with the movie. If not then not that many people would know about it right now who grew up in the 70's, 80's, and possibly during the 90's would not have known about it at all.

Any updates?

[–] RobBase086-1 15 years ago

From what Rhonda Shear told me in November just before Thanksgiving she was leaving on the 1st of December to go to New York to talk to someone about her reality show called PANTY RAID and she was also going to talk to a former friend of hers I believe that is still the head of programming for USA Network after NBC took over. She was going to talk to that person about arranging for USA UP ALL NIGHT to be in the time slot somewhere if they could. That is all of the updates right now that I know of. I have not heard anything else.

I will keep everyone informed do not worry about it.

Hey Rob,

Hi Rob. You seem to have been lost again. This is the Student Bodies forum. Not the Up All Night forum. Stop spamming. Thanks in advance.

Ohhh you just brought back memories with those 4 words. I remember staying up all night in my early to mid teens watching basic cable back in the day. I will sign the petition because some channel needs to bring back showing cheep, crappy movies fom the 50s to...hell even the 90s had some crappy b-movies. In the spirit of nostalgia, god I miss Joe Bob Briggs.

[–] RobBase086-1 13 years ago

I am glad that I brought back some great memories for you guy! You should come check out the website that I have created that is dedicated to fans of USA UP ALL NIGHT and the show. There are video trailers of films that were shown on USA UP ALL NIGHT and I am sure you would love that. Plus, we have the video clips of our favorite hosts Rhonda Shear, Caroline Schlitt, and Gilbert Gottfried as well! Thanks for taking the time to sign the petition guy!

Yes we do need to bring back crappy movies for entertainment late at night once again! I agree with you there and that is why I have been fighting to get USA UP ALL NIGHT back on once again guy! Oh I did not tell you the good news! Rhonda Shear is bringing back brand new episodes of USA UP ALL NIGHT on Yahoo TV and ROKU! I just thought that I would let you know about this! Plus, I have spoken to Joe Bob Briggs and Asked him when they were going to bring back a Monster Vision once again back in March? He did not say not too much about it, but I told him that I am fighting to get back entertainment like this back on the weekends late at night!
