I was watching a few of them just a bit ago. I called my brother who's a few years younger than you, and he said he remembers it being raunchy.<br /><br />Something my mom didn't want us watching was "The Exorcist". It was on HBO (took a long time before they would show it), and we had friends over. When she found out what was on (probably because we were laughing real loud), she told us to turn it away. As soon as she went back in the kitchen, we had it on again.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-7325370826084672592012-08-05T23:15:31.514-04:002012-08-05T23:15:31.514-04:00Jen, You're a trendsetter! :)Jen, You're a trendsetter! :)AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-21443752343377136982012-08-05T23:11:48.028-04:002012-08-05T23:11:48.028-04:00What did I start by mentioning THE GONG SHOW?

"You're a complete loser!" Loved it. Getting on the show is even harder since they switched to online weed-outs I mean testing. Even though the show has easy questions, the online ones are significantly more obscure and difficult. <br /><br />The Gong Show introduced me to Carol Wayne, Rip Taylor and Rip Taylor. It had its moments. <br /><br />Original version of Iron Chef - the dubbing was insane - the ingredients were insane - and the critiques were ever so polite as the judges ruled some dishes inedible. LOVED IT. The current version is but a pale imitation.Fireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360972505414686825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-25032493852458493972012-08-05T22:09:45.057-04:002012-08-05T22:09:45.057-04:00Max, Nope, I never saw it.
