Today's shows think they are so clever, but often fall far short :( And to be honest...the Gong Show was purty' rank back in the 70s and I don't think 40 years has lessened the stink factor. Hey, thanks for stopping by and grabbing an espresso and some warm snark snacks and visiting with the Diva.Deb Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912230009534298147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28922728507486892.post-55705489422449443902008-05-09T21:42:00.000-05:002008-05-09T21:42:00.000-05:00Hi Mike, I completely agree.

The Gong Show is sorta' the great-grandfather of "American Idol" and "Celebrity Detox" or whatever nonsense is currently on. The Diva is just not sure her old liver can take another dose of the "Gong Show" Thanks for stopping by again!Deb Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912230009534298147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28922728507486892.post-1387174647368490092008-05-09T13:09:00.000-05:002008-05-09T13:09:00.000-05:00What's this?

And that's a shame...Mike Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404302177748811370noreply@blogger.com
