    1970s/80s novelty people/acts you just couldn't stand

    My list, ---- will probably add more later …

    #1. --- Charo ……. Most annoying/teeth gritting TV show guest star ever ….. Seriously, who thought she was great ?

    #2. --- Gallagher …. I so just want to punch this guy in the face --- and I don't even need a mallet

    Charo was on the Love Boat a bunch of times.

    I guess after awhile her voice could get on your nerves, but she had a nice body to back it up.

    She definitely was more eye candy than acting ability, but what the heck, I’d take her out for a night on the town, cha cha cha.

            She was a Flamenco (sp?) guitar player. She played quite well...

              I know they are pretty popular, but i never really got into the 50s nostalgia thing. Exactly what was the deal with Bowser opening his mouth wide? I just didn't get it.

                Yes, Charo was originally known for her accomplished guitar playing, but that was forgotten with all the "Coochie, coochie" and body shaking.

                Personally, whenever kid stars showed up on shows and started singing...I became bodily ill. The biggest offender was Joey Lawrence, who was on Give Me A Break back then. I could deal with him fine there, but if he started to sing... click, change the channel.

                  I always like to watch his stand-up routine,especially when he makes fun of the movies he's been in.

                        I have a soft spot for most of them and also get annoyed by most of them, as well. Gallagher just isn’t funny so he probably tops my list.
