A wacky 70's TV version of Major Bowes' "Amateur Hour" radio show. Three celeb panelists would judge performers on a 0-10 scale, while really bad acts got sent off with a swing of the mallet. Some frequent "contestants" got 15 minutes of fame - "Gene&Gene, the Dancing Machine"; "The Unknown Comic" (comedian Murray Langston telling bad jokes with a paper bag over his head). It also featured host Chuck Barris and panelist Jaye P. Morgan "testing" the censors on occasion.
