I was going to record it but forget. I was in college when the original was on. I came home every weekend, and the Gong show was on at 6 pm on Sunday night. When it was over, it was time for me to get in the car and drive the 50 miles back to college for the week.Did anyone watch? I wasn't crazy about it. I'm not sure why Mike Myers created a character to host it instead of just being himself. I thought the act that won was beyond gross and not funny at all. I thought the guy who jumped rope should have won.
How can they even think of bringing back that show since Gene Gene The Dancing Machine is no longer with us? RIP, Gene.
Just watched the rerun. 60 minutes of my life I will never get back. Actually made the original look good.
Never heard of any of the judges. Figured it was my age until my 26 DD walked in the room, and SHE had no idea who the judges were.
So to improve the show. Get some celebrity judges.
Mike Myers, lose the make up, be Mike Myers, introduce the acts, let them be the stars.
Lose all the production elements, bring on the true common folks as performers, with a few ringers throw in.
I don't think this show will last.
