The Gong Show Revisited
- Thread starter milehigh
- Start date
Host/producer Chuckie "Baby" Barris also has one of the most far out autobiography's out there, claiming that (among many other things), he was an operative and assassin for the CIA.
Entertaining stuff. The movie was pretty good too.

Watching it now. You probably couldn't get away with that nun sketch today.
Edit: Man, the more I watch, I'm thinking you couldn't get away with most of the stuff on there. We've really become a prudish society.

Are you ever right! Things have gotten progessively less and less liberal as we have gone along. And then the political correctness crept in.
Chuckee was in fact very strange in real life.... yes -was losing it somewhat.
Want to watch a wierd movie about someone from same era?... check out Autofocus, believe somewhat based on fact... about the fellow that starred in Hogan's Hero's.... some real sexual addiction going on.
PS Do admit I have a real hangup about organized religion, so let em have it.

Its all fucked up today.
You can't make fun of anybody, no matter if they are fat, ugly, gay, whatever. They got feelings and everybody is special
All the good TV shows from the 70's early 80's would never be shown. the A Team with automatic weapons and running from the law but are the "good guys"..heck that was on prime time TV back in the day.
Dukes of Hazard with a crooked sheriff and mayor and "reckless driving" was also on prime time.
Then we had the Nair hair removal tv ads with foxy ladies dancing in mini skirts singing "dare wear shorts-shorts, we wear shorts-shorts". That used to be an tv ad on my after school movie abc used to run at 4 pm one day a week.
The Gong Show was great, my whole family liked watching it, from the kids to old folks. We be back with more stuff, Chuck used to say--he looked stone as hell.
Beretta was a undercover cop in NYC, he used to be buddies with a pimp--who was a good guy, wore fancy clothes and had hot chicks and a fancy car but CARED about his ladies and helped the police nailed drug dealers and murders. They won't even release the Beretta seasons expect for the first season before the show got really good and cool.
I'm sure I'm forgeting alot, I just remember when TV was good to watch.
........................
we could smoke outside our high school right next to the doors tobacco or pot but they did like us in back of the school but no set rule in stone....I turned out just fine I do believe, lol .
.........................
Must stuck going to high school today, IMO

Nothing on You Tube is really good, its all edited or the best ones/ parts aren't shown. There is a few things but most are OK first with whom ever, some jerk it seems.
Bad-Bad Men is a fake A Team skit, I seen the unedited ones in the Falls, they use a flame thrower to burn one guy to a crisp, on You Tube they cut that part out. Guess fire is a no no today.
TV really sucks today, so many ads and many for drugs. Happy pills, heart pills, dick pills..but a tobacco ad, gosh no
Nair still runs ads but never shows ladies legs.
...............
I don't know were its going, we been going downhill for 30--40 years it seems , when it stop I got no idea.
beavis and Butthead in the 90's was the last decent TV show, IMO and even that wasn't as good as it could had been and the best ones were also ban quickly

Remember the BAD repeat BAAAAAAAD that went with all the good.
There were movies about Bulldozers that were satanically (if there such a word) possessed........
There were the "secret doubles" that posed as you and wrecked havoc while everyone thought it you.... a bunch of TV shows had this.
And for all the good music there was Carpenters, ABBA and all that.

When I was a wee kid, I had to sit through the above link millions of times because it was my Grand-mothers favorite show.
Typical show.

Thought of another cool 80's show---Elvira Mistress of the Dark....elvira movie macabre
http://www.squidoo.com/elvira-mistress-of-the-dark-costume
They showed half ass movies--some were kind of cool--like the farmer who made the best beef jerky but was really made of humans he caught, planted them in the ground up to their necks with their hands and feet tied up. He come around and feed them for a few weeks and then kill them and make more jerky meat the whole town loved to eat.
Well Elvira used to come in between breaks and talk-make a joke about the movies. Was pretty cool for late night tv
