June 16 on WADL-TV (Channel 38).Ī ratings monster in the ’70s, “Bowling for Dollars” episodes sometimes pulled in half of Detroit’s TV sets, according to original host Bob Allison, who was back at his old job today. Today’s taping was a blessing of sorts for more than 100 people who gathered at Allen Park’s Thunderbowl Lanes, the original home of “Bowling for Dollars,” to watch the taping for a special that will air at 7 p.m. Thrasher wowed the audience with two strikes in a row. “Yes, I’m afraid I’m going to make a fool of myself,” said the minister of Ten Mile Free Will Baptist Church in Madison Heights. His son had phoned with two words of advice: Don’t choke. Pastor Steven Thrasher was in the hot seat today as the first bowler to go before the cameras for the new version of the Detroit 1970s TV classic “Bowling for Dollars.” I vaguely recall that show, but I may be getting confused with the old Chuck Walby show, Beat The Champ, that was taped at Thunderbird lanes in Troy. Apparently they are reviving the old Bowling For Dollars show again at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park. It was a little pricy.Surprised that no one from Detroit has posted anything about this yet. I had fun with my daughter bowling for the afternoon. Really friendly staff and a family-friendly place to knock some pins around. Older alley, but updated and never packed. Some of the bowling shoes are falling apart, but its pretty cheap. Great family friendly place, currently undergoing renovations but awesome place to go bowling Food other games and stuff to do if you dont bowl. Sometimes there are leagues going on though and its hard to get a lane.Īlways open lanes.

If theyd update their shoes and bowling selection theyd be 5 stars. We enjoy coming here!Īlways fun and cheap for family night. Traditional bowling alley with a little bit of everything else. We enjoy the traditional bowling and grill without blasting TVs everywhere! Good family times, good value. Lost power once in big storm and they comped our rentals.

BUT yesterday afternoon() for some reason, there is a very rude staff full of attitude when you ask questions. Great place and great staffs most of time. If you dont care about that this is a place you will enjoy bowling at. The machines running the display boards are outdated. Its a good bowling place thats open till late at night, has 24 lanes, is cleaned constantly. We will surely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a good classic bowling ally. I would really like to thank TJ and Jennifer and all the staff for making this experience very special. I had a birthday party here and the service is exceptional. I hope it was just bad service today 3/4/17. Would not recommend on top of bad customer service half the machines dont work.

Reviews Def lied, first of all the worst customer service I have ever seen, they are unprofessional and just rude, you can ask the simplest question and they will give you attitude. The workers we spoke to were nice, however, and the prices are cheaper than competing bowling alleys in the area.

The bowling alley itself if non-smoking, but the attached bar and grill allows smoking and has two doors that directly access the bowling center and dont contain the smells very well. We planned to have a birthday party here, but moved it to Plano Super Bowl because we couldnt tolerate the smoke. better than any other bowling place in the metroplex! We used a groupon that gave us 2 games of bowling, 1 large popcorn (and they mean large) and a pitcher of soda with bowling shoes for cheap cheap cheap.

WE came from Addison because they are so awesome! Fantastic staff, great food for a bowling alley plus even better prices! A huge plate of nachos and an order of fried stuffed jalapenos for less than 10$ was a great buy.
