The Gong Show and Hollywood Squares. But in actuality, they would never make The Waltons.
Ah, the Gong Show. I watched that every time.
Remember this one called “Have You Got a Nickle?”

Whaddya mean they wouldn’t make the Waltons? They’d make it with the characters actually playing themselves. Grandpa and Grandma were both gay. Grandpa’s significant other was Harry Hay - just look up his wiki but don’t say you weren’t warned. One of them said there is no better mentor to a 14 year old boy than a gay guy. Oh, those poor kids on that show.
