I used to watch the original with my Dad. All the talents that envisioned bringing it back are spot on. Thank you all for producing a program that I can share with my kids.

Expected so little,got so much. You can tell the judge's remarks are are real and unprepared. The acts are not always great but they are always entertaining. Some of the judges are very kind,funny and humble(Brie,Dr Ken,Arnett), just like Tommy. Others are cold. and to self absorbed to be bothered by these acts(J Aniston,J Black), sadly both were on same episode.All the episodes are really good except the one with Aniston and Black. Best Hour of Summer T.V.

The show is great. It does not take itself seriously. The judges are having fun and make good comments about the low practice acts, that even if some are really silly or odd they've practiced to show off their skill as odd as it may be. First game show in awhile I find fun, and simple, do not make a ball dropping or a call from the banker take 15 mins... Hope it has a 2nd season. Just good fun.

Pros: Very nice set. Mike Myers mostly manages to play his character convincingly. Contestants are entertaining and often surprise.Cons: There's more focus on our zany host and judges than the contestants. The show winks at itself so much that contestants can come off as contrived.Overall Feel: A scripted wedding reception - without booze.Takeaway: The show doesn't know what it wants to be. The bigger idea they are after here would be better constructed as a Mike Myers variety talk show: Mike Myers would host as different character each show, some we know, some we don't, maybe he'd host it as himself on occasion and bring in some SNL friends.As The Gong Show currently stands, I'd like to ditch the judges in favor of audience approval and see how Austin Powers hosts it.
