I am a fan of Bam Margera and have watched his previous programs including "Jackass", "Viva La Bam", and "Bam's Unholy Union". As stupid as all of those shows are, they were all rather enjoyable and more entertaining than the typical reality TV show. With that being said, Bam Margera dropped off the grid for many years after his fellow Jackass star Ryan Dunn passed away in a violent car crash. Finally Bam is back on television now with this new game show titled "Bam's Bad Ass Game Show" (BBAGS) on TBS. BBAGS is a game show where a number of contestants compete against each other in dumbed down, "Jackass" style stunts. From riding in barrels to other wacky stunts, contestants are eliminated one by one until there is a last man standing, who wins $10,000 if they make it through all of the challenge.
BBAGS has Bam as well as a few other of his famous friends/guest in various episodes. To jump to the point, BBAGS is a bit lacking. The stunts as mentioned before, are merely dumbed down Jackass-style stunts. The games and stunts are rather unentertaining to watch and there isn't that fear of someone getting seriously injured like on Jackass. Furthermore Bam just seems a bit bored hosting this show. There's less of his antics and more focus on the game show itself (which isn't a bad thing), except the game show portion is just a bit stale. Furthermore you know a show is running out of ideas fast when they start running all young, hot female contestants to draw in more viewers as they did in the last episode. Last but not least, some of the "games" on this show are really stupid. One was a quiz round with extremely stupid/random questions that sound like something someone took five minutes to make up before filming. There's not much more to say at this point. This show is severely lacking in entertainment and excitement. The show is very budget-y as well filmed in some warehouses outside of Philadelphia. Overall Bam Margera's show is a bit lacking. It was watchable, but if something else was better on television at the time, I would probably change the channel. I do think there is potential with this show if they up the budget a bit more and do some more exciting games/contest for the contestants to compete in. But where it stands now, BBAGS is below average in my opinion and it looks like it's not going to change much.
