"Confessions of a dangerous mind" was reviewed by me a few days ago and I thought it was worth 4 stars for being"out there".Well the gong show movie is actual clips from the TV show that Mr Barris actually MC'd along with clips the network censor's clipped.Now if you never heard of the show or saw the other movie I reviewed,let me state that Chuck Barris did more to set the stage for todays "reality"TV series then anyone in history.First,the dating game,then the Newlywed game and finally his masterpiece of"The Gong Show"that he actually participated in rather than write and produce only the prior two series.This movie was released in 1980 and runs only 89 minutes.I had to take 2 stars off because its sort of dated and I HATE reality TV.Some of the stuff is obnoxious and just really,really bad.But some is inspired and well,it is historic ,weather we like that history or not.A trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.Should be seen ONLY once,when drunk.
