THE GONG SHOW
Other collectable items were released in the seventies when this show made pop culture history, including a set of trading cards, a coin bank (in the shape of the gong, natch!) and a Chuck Barris Halloween costume.


    (American 1977) [Chuck Barris, Rip Taylor on cover]


    (Tempo 1977) The Gong Show Book by Jerry Bowles [Barris on cover]
Paperback tribute to the zany program, its contestants and its staff.  Lots of photographs.


    (Universal 1980) The Gong Show Movie
Barris directed and starred in this poorly received film about his troubles (some real, some fictional) producing the show.  It has never been released commercially on home video by the studio, but is easily available as a bootleg in secondary markets such as Ebay.

(Lovee)
    On the Chuck Barris 45rpm single Theme From Gene Gene/Lovee (Gong Show 1979)
Barris sings Lovee. On the show, of course, the theme is played live by Milton Delugg's band.
    On the CD The Best of TV Quiz and Game Show Themes (Varese Sarabande 2000)
