Is this or is this not the greatest comdey production since F-Troop? I ask you.
I love this friggin’ show. Wally Hotvedt is my new personal hero.
Who are the fans? Can I get a witness?
Testify, brother!

P.S. I really liked the Inside Bowling where Wally was throwing those dodge balls at that blindfolded grandmother. Now that’s comedy!
I have only watched the show once, is Wally the Paul Lynde wannabe? And is the show filmed in Minneapolis?
I am LOVING this show. Everything about it reminds me of my relatives in Minnesota. And Wally is just like my weird uncle.
It’s also giving me the urge to go bowling, even though I such at it.
OK, for all us hopelessly square out-of-the-loop cultural lumpenproles… what in the living bloody FREAK are you talking about?!
Hie thee to a Cable Company pronto, and get yerself Comedy Central.
Let’s Bowl is like people’s court. Two people with a grievance settle there score with ten frames of bowling. But to add a little spice to it, they lampoon old bowling coverage. You got Chopper and Wally sitting behind their desk with matching cheesy blazers, humungous head-sets, you got the guy on the keyboards, occasionally they have guests such as the World’s Most Dangerous Polka Band.
They also mix it up a little with side winnin’s like, the Polka Pin. Or the Death Pin.
And Wally pretty much just makes fun of everything and everybody - a typical line: “He threw it right in the gutter. What a jack ass. He sucks. I’m rooting for the other guy.”
Possibly it must be watched to be truly appreciated, but trust me - it’s funny as all get out.
Let’s Bowl is definitely one of the greatest game shows ever!
The one thing that would vault it solidly into first place, though, would be if they were to show more bowling. I mean, frames one and two, six and seven, and ten? C’mon guys, give us something we can sink our teeth into!
Heck, Jack, you left out one of the funniest things: the prizes! They’re so low-rent and Minnesotan! I mean, they give away stuff like one-quarter of a cow from a butcher shop, or a bunch of pickled herring, or an ice fishing tent, or a walking tour of Duluth. And what was that car they were giving way the other day, a Charger with 51,000 miles on it or something? hehehe…
That Charger was by far the nicest car they’ve offered. It was valued at $5000. I also like the Queen Pins – they’re attractive (esp. the brunette), but exactly in that slightly-chubby, pre-nose job way that small market local TV personalities are attractive.

P.S. Hey! Let’s go bowling
See the ten shiny pins
Perfect game?
What a frame!
Here’s where the fun begins
The show is filmed in Minneapolis, at the Stardust Lanes on Minnehaha Ave & 26th St.
Some acquaintances of mine from the dogpark were on one episode, he was the guy who wanted stippers at his bachelor party, and of course she wanted to disallow that. He won, of course.
Dammit Dave, why didn’t I get an invite?
