Am watching the GAMBLER 3: THE Last Leg Right this minute one of KENNY ROGERS BEST SONGS THE 80'S WAS THE BEST ERA A JUST WISH A COULD GET THE DOC TO TAKE ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS?
I'm not even going to talk about what other people are talking about, the alcohol and the smoking on a putative kid's show... can we talk about the fact that this kids show had a character DIE and become a GHOST as part of the song? THAT'S what stuck with me.
This is an amazing piece of television history, a classic , sadly ot would never get made today THE WOKE BASTARDS would never let it happen, the part with the ghost alone would frighten the PUCIFIED WOKETARD'S
Despite His Most Popular Song, Rogers Never Did Much Gambling. Rogers' most popular song is arguably his 1978 release "The Gambler," but in 2015, he told NPR that he'd never been a big gambler himself. "I learned a long time ago, I can't win enough money to excite me, but I can lose enough to depress me," he admitted.
Such a beautiful episode. The Muppet show was the latest TV that my grandmother allowed me to watch before bed and then my granddad would let me sneak watch Benny Hill. Mr. Kenny Rogers will be missed. 💞
Just like Elton John’s Crocodile Rock and Harry Belafonte’s Turn the World Around, I think this Muppet Show version is the most iconic “live” version of Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler. I’m glad there was no laughter from the audience, especially once the ghost of The Gambler appeared and started to dance in somewhat of a funny way. It’s just a beautiful moment from The Muppet Show.
I saw this when it was new. I was 4. My jaw hit the floor when I watched a muppet die on tv right in front of me, lol. Scarred me for life 😂 44 years later, I still love this song and the “haunting vibes” it gives me 👻🖤
