silly show involving William Shatner, George Foreman, Henry Winkler (The Fonz) and Terry Bradshaw

I'll give Shatner credit.
He's brilliantly turned aging, and the quirks of aging, into a springboard to further his career.
He's rather brilliantly marketed that he's NOT the person he was yesterday, and that we want to know who he is today.

He's NOT afraid to involve himself in some pretty "out there" projects.

At some point however, I do have to ask myself, do I really want to watch a gray haired Fonzi, impersonate a Geisha?
And the answer might be....Better Never than Late.

I'll probably take a look at this show out of nostalgia and a morbid sense of curiosity.

 

The first episode just happened to be starting when we turned the TV on that night so we decided to watched a little bit. Ended up captivated by the whole "stupid" episode. It's a good mix of characters and personalities thrown together into forced experiences purely for entertainment purposes. No more, no less. We generally LOL at several bits.

Major gripe: advertisers must love it too enabling NBC to over sell the show slowing it with numerous and long commercial breaks. I have set my DVR for episode 2 to zip right through them.

 

Pass.

One more little proof that there is nothing worthwhile on TV.

 

I came back from a party last night (totally sober ) and flopped down in front of the TV, turned it on at 10:15 p.m. and saw some Asian guy wapping Henry Winkler on the back with some staves.

Hmm, this must be that show I saw the thread about on PriusChat.

I ended up watching the whole thing. It had moments. The part of cobras, I have a bit of trouble believing, they had to have been de-fanged.

 

Seems the links here are all screwy. But, I managed to watch the rest of episode II and half of episode I on YouTube in the picture within the picture box. You get used to the strange format soon enough.

Must be some strange "gene" in my make-up, but the show holds some special fascination for me -- having said that -- look at my headwear in my avatar, that may explain things.

 

I watched ep2 on my DVR and that's the way to view this show with numerous commercial breaks. We save viewing for friday nights. Anyway, I really like the fun facts about any area they're in. The Hong Kong yacht waiting list was just astonishing. And the mouse wine? OMG......

 

Thought Episode 3 started at 9 p.m. PDT, but guess I was wrong. Watched at 10 p.m. PDT, fell asleep around 10:25 p.m. or so, so missed about eight minutes of show before my rottweiler nudged awake again.

Show was O.K., but did not seem as engaging as the first two shows -- maybe because it seems they treading a lot of the same ground, only in a different country. Not so much Winkler whining at least in Episode 3 as compared to Episode 2.

Jeff Dye did have some cute Korean women to talk to, wonder why the one woman kept slapping him?

 

Really?

I liked the first and second episodes O.K.

After that it seemed to have gotten pretty repetitive and predictable.

I will probably watch at least the first show of the new season, but unless it seems fresh, that's all.

And, I like Winkler well enough, but his voice is grating. He should use the Fonz voice.

Amazingly, I thought Forman was the best of the bunch, although Schattner was not too bad.
