High Risk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Risk was a program aired by the CBS television network as part of its 1988 fall lineup.
The genesis of High Risk was a 1988 strike by members of the Writers Guild of America against the producers of network television programs. Unable to produce regular, scripted series, programs such as High Risk were put together to serve as entertainment in the interim until the strike could be resolved.
High Risk was hosted by former M*A*S*H star Wayne Rogers and featured "high-risk" stunts and jobs such as Border Patrol agent, automobile repo men, cave explorers, and such.
Intended strictly as an interim, "filler"-type program, High Risk was cancelled shortly after the writers' strike was resolved.
