"Celebrity Bowling" -- Huh??

I caught a few episodes of this on the DECADES channel, and it seems they're having a Weekend Binge on this coming weekend. I love the 1970s, and I love seeing the stars featured on this program. But the content itself just seems so dull... and the celebrities I've seen so far can't seem to bowl for s#%t ! The host seems rather boring too. I was just wondering what others think of this show?

 

Never seen it, but I used to watch Bowling For Dollars in the 70s as a kid and that was pretty exciting stuff back then. Guy misses a strike but still wins $8.00 and dinner for two at the Roostertail!

You should keep binge-watching, Boe...

 

I enjoyed the celebrities...

 

Tell us some of the celebrities please!
Charo?
Bert Convy?
The usual 70's suspects?

 

Brady Bunch kids, Angie Dickenson, Bill Macy, Joseph Campenella, Billy Barty, Leslie Neilsen, Adreinne Barbeau, Conrad Baine...

 

Adreinne Barbeau and her bowling balls. Wow!

 

I'd show her some gutter balls

 

Ernest Borgnine, Dick Martin, Dave Madden, Lucy Arnaz, Ruth Buzzi, Michelle Lee, Susan St James...

 

Ruth Buzzi was showing off a very buff midriff on that show-

 

Hosted by Jed Allen, this was a popular show back then. I remember Michelle Lee and James Farentino on there a lot.

 

The Hager Twins of Hee Haw even appeared on this show.

 

There's a DVD of The Brady Bunch cast on this show I believe.

 

Martin Milner and Kent McCord.

 

Someone need to update this show to the present day with current... erm... celebrities.

Picture Bono, Christopher Walken, Peter Dinklage and Christian Bale competing in a tournament co-emceed by non other than David Lee Roth and Courtney Love. First time out, Bono slips, falls and breaks his arm and is replaced by non other than Bruce Springsteen!

 

I watched some episodes yesterday. Looks and sounds like a good show to have on tv on a Sunday afternoon to nap to.

 

Good to see all these folks with us. Ernie!

It's a no-holds barred edition of All Star Celebrity Bowling, as WWE Superstars CM Punk, AJ Lee, Fandango, and Kofi Kingston try to put Team Nerdist into submission.

 

Celebrity Bowling these days would be more likely to have Chazz Bono than Bono

 

Exactly, I'm pretty sure CSN&Y weren't on the old show...

 

I always liked dialing for dollars.
