Viva Laughlin

America just wasn't ready for this. We're too close-minded and immature. Great hit in Europe with different cast. I wish we could have seen just a little bit more before we discarded it for good.

In the name of sanity what were they thinking.

Nothing needs to be taken out of context.
Imagine if cast members of CSI, LOST or Simon Cowell started bursting into song (badly).

'It's a part of this show' - Yeh and one reason why it was cancelled after 2 episodes.

And the dance number really are NOT the biggest problem with this clip - the acting in the first few seconds is just...astoundingly bad. Also, you can barely hear the actor over Elton.

(Then again, having seen the "Sympathy For The Devil" clip - that reads like a list of how not to do a musical number.)

Gotta wonder what he thinks of "Glee"...

is the 1983 part from the show or just a random clip?

Its part of the show.

it was part of the show, just a flashback

I watched both episodes of "Viva Laughlin" and I liked it. Not to ruin the humor of this video, but those clips look really dumb taken out of context.

"The show that was loved by hundreds..."

We need that!

Classic!

BTW this show was a remake of Blackpool, which they say was a good Brit series
