Always felt bad when someone got "gonged".Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-37223896417501012822018-01-29T21:06:43.600-06:002018-01-29T21:06:43.600-06:00Mrs. Shlabotnik and I grew up on The Gong Show, so...Mrs. Shlabotnik and I grew up on The Gong Show, so we had to check out the reboot. We expected it to be awful, but it's actually not bad. It captures the spirit fairly well without being an outright copy. I will say that there's an episode or two where every act is flat-out strange, and that gets old over an hour.<br /><br />If there are any questions about Tommy Maitland, him saying "WHO'S A CHEEKY MONKEY?" makes it clear that Tommy is "related" to Austin Powers and Simon ("Are you looking at my bum? Cheeky monkey!")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-45874612640090470622018-01-29T20:16:21.794-06:002018-01-29T20:16:21.794-06:00Holy crap, that was Mike Myers?
