What about Gene Gene The Dancing Machine? (Gong Show...) (1970's TV...) Oh, never mind.

For years I have tried to tell my daughter the out of control and hilarious circus that was the Gong Show. Words fail me. I would love to find a season or two of it on DVD. That show was nothing but frivolity and frolic from day one.

Yeah, that show was a true crack up from beginning to end. The fights for the gong, Gene Gene The Dancing Machine, the BIG hook that came out after contestants...

Hopefully it will make one of the cable TV Land types of reruns.

For what it’s worth, the first group to be gonged off that show was the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo with lead singer Danny Elfman. I must come off as such a fanatic;^)
