Review of Bonkers!

Bonkers! (1978– )
7/10
Absolute mayhem but in a good way.

I remember this show as a kid. It starred the Hudson Brothers Bill, Mark and Brett as well as Bob Monkhouse. There were musical numbers, silly comedy skits and running gags like if somebody mentioned "wrecking ball" a large wrecking ball would suddenly show up and hit whomever said it. There were pies in the face, bad jokes and at some point they'd inevitably sing "Chatanooga Choo Choo". Sketches were introduced by a stacked blonde with a booming male voice and the guest stars often would say they wanted to be anywhere else but here.

It was crude in a PG kind of way but it was something my pre-teen mind enjoyed in a slightly risque kind of way. It's a shame that it never made it's way onto DVD or that there are no episodes of it online. But one hopes that someday, somewhere I'll be able to relive some of those memories from long ago.
