Showbiz Pizza was the best. place. ever. Although, instead of being afraid, I actually wanted to live with Billy Bob in his gas station setting. I know, lofty aspirations…

Yeah, I definitely remember the days when it was Showbiz. I loved the skee-ball, wack-a-mole, and other games, but was TERRIFIED of the frigging band! I refused to sit in the front row of the show because I was convinced that ape was going to hop off the stage and violently tear my head off. However, I recently went to a Chuck E Cheese for my little cousin’s birthday party and it was woefully lame. The band was all gone and was repalced by Chuck, the animatronic “DJ.” He stood in one place and sang songs and stuff, but it was pretty pitiful compared to the terrifying spectacle it used to be. Then, a guy in a Chuck suit came out, flanked by two chicks that worked there, and they all three did a little choreographed danced, while the two girls had vacant looks on their faces that seemed to say, “Please, save me from this humiliating hell.”

Yeah…it was Chuck E. Cheese for me, and I really, REALLY liked the place. I never paid much attention to the robot/giant puppet band; that was just the pizza/opening presents room. Then it was back to games and the ball-pit.

I’ve never heard of Showbiz Pizza but there are/were no Chuck e. Cheeses in Canada so I guess that’s not really my fault. Looks like I missed out!

I don’t think we had Showbiz. We had Circus Circus. And of course Chuck E Cheese. i wonder if they still have the balls?

Dude, I got a little creeped out reading this. Great post.

When I was little, I always wanted to go to Showbiz Pizza, but I never got a chance to. Perhaps it’s better that I didn’t. I did go to Chuck E Cheese’s once, but I was like 11 and it was for my little nephew’s first birthday. It was actually really boring.

I will always and forever be indebted to you for revealing the secret of the Showbiz Animatrons. I will sacrifice Gracie Law to appease my emperor and live out my earthly pleasures with Miao Yin. And when I marry both green eyed girls, Blueberry HIll will be our wedding song(s).

p.s.: of course i’ve seen BTILC.
