The Resume

    (July 8, 1991-May 27, 2005)
    Born in United States
    Aired on Lifetime (1991-94), Family Channel (1996-98) and PAX (2000-05)
    Hosted by Pat Finn (1991-2002) and JD Roberto (2003-05)
    Premise: Contestants answer trivia questions and perform stunts to win a 'shopping spree' in a giant faux mall

Why Shop 'til You Drop might be annoying:

    It was Supermarket Sweep in a mall.
    It further ripped off 'Sweep' during later seasons by switching to a grocery store setting.
    Pat Finn was pretty much every game show host stereotype rolled into one.
    It was essentially a giant product placement ad for food and consumer products.
    It was canceled and brought back twice and aired on three different networks within one decade.

Why Shop 'til You Drop might not be annoying:

    Many of the fake stores it featured were named after the show's crew members.
    Despite the frequent comparisons to 'Supermarket Sweep,' it was its own show in a lot of ways.
    Dee Bradley Baker was the announcer and co-host for a while.
    It was fun, cheesy 90's entertainment that didn't take itself too seriously.
    It has been compared to a grown-ups' 'Double Dare.'
