Re: The Gong Show. I recall listening to an interview with the show's host, Chuck Barris, who stated that many of the stars on the show were high as a kite most of the time. Ahh, the 70s... I wonder if old Chuck was loaded, too. It was one bizarre scene, man. I could have sworn I saw Oingo Boingo on there once. My favorite was The Unknown Comic. I did not like when the long cane came from offstage and pulled performers off, without even letting the judges explain why the performers were Gong'd.

Carol Burnett was pretty special. You did good goofy TV back then.

Carol Burnett's show was one of my favorites. Bob Newhart of the same era (on the same night, on the same channel I think, both after Mary Tyler Moore which I also loved.
You guys did Benny Hill. That was Ewww.
I did like The Marty Feldman Half A Comedy Hour. My kind of show.
I need to go back and watch The Black Adder series. I have a feeling I'd like it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXcY5-9qFaI&t=4515sThis is a doc about Hubert Selby Jr, who wrote Last Exit To Brooklyn and Requiem For a Dream among other works (those books were both adapted into film.) His life story is as harrowing as any of his novels.

I loved those games. I forgot about them. I think I played all of them.
