Gene Gene, the Dancing Machine

Mike — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 02:07:00 +0000

Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, aka Eugene Patton was a member of the stage crew and occasional performer on The Gong Show.

He was one of several amateur performers who would “warm up” and entertain the audience during commercial breaks. Host Chuck Barris found him so entertaining that he had him dance on the show on-air, and he proved so popular that he soon became a recurring act, an occasional judge, and eventually the regular closing act for the show, with the credits regularly rolling over his enthusiastic dancing, often joined by Chuck, the celebrity judges, the stage hands, and whoever else felt like joining in. His attire usually consisted of a green windbreaker jacket, bell-bottomed jeans, sneakers, a yellow polo shirt, and a black painter’s hat.

Kentucky Derby TV Coverage

Mike — Sat, 03 May 2008 21:19:16 +0000

The Kentucky Derby is on TV today. A 2 minute horse race.

A 2 minute horse race which has 180 minutes of tv coverage, seems a bit excessive to me.

Comcast Sports Net, finally

Back in October I wrote about being stuck in Comcast Purgatory. About a month or two ago that all changed. I was flipping thru the channels one day and noticed that I landed on Comcast Sports Net twice. I spent time watching both and it was evident after a few days that I picked up CSN out of Philly while at the same time keeping CSN MidAtlantic. If I remember correctly CSN Philly replaced ESPN Classics on the analog end of the channels. I currently do not subscribe to the HD package so I dont know if CSN Philly is available in my area.

So thank you Comcast. I can watch Flyers hockey now. I still have to chuckle a bit about CSN Philly being taken away from Shawn a neighbor behind me. If Comcast does consolidate the feed here in Littlestown to the formerly Suscom head-end from the formely Adelphia/GS Communications network he will at somepoint be able to pick CSN Philly back up.
