It took three weeks...but I've quit watching this feeble attempt at bringing back the Gong Show.

What a waste of 30 minutes of television.

Dave Attell does a surprisingly decent job as host. Really, he does. The problem is pretty much everything around him is terrible.

The reason The Gong Show worked in the 70s was because...it was the 70s. It just doesn't work anymore. It didn't work in the late 80s, it didn't work in the late 90s, and it sure doesn't work now.

It seems, though, that he's a little tighter than usual...almost scripted to a fault. Dave Attell's a funny guy who's making the most of a train wreck. For anyone who's enjoying this mess, do so while you can. No way is this show going to last.
