    The questions are, I believe, "How long did Showbiz Pizza Place keep (or have) Billy Bob walkarounds?" and "Which CEC characters replaced him during Concept Unification?"

    I picked up a BillyBob Walkaround at a resale shop circa 1992. They had some other misc from the stage. Based on that, I'd guess CU was a clean sweep- Anything RAE went out all at once. This is only a guess.

    Most of the ShowBiz's out here in the Denver area started using Chuck not long after the merger... I remember seeing Billy Bob back in '84, but all the photos I have from '86 on had the Chuck walkaround at parties.

    I think this is because of the walk-around Billy Bob being at PTT, but I am not sure. Does anyone have pictures of Billy Bob at PTT?

    Same here. They quit using the Billy Bob walk around in the restaurant and used Chuck E. Cheese as the walk-around character. About this time for me anyway was when they started using the fake voices and in-house programmed shows that CEI was no longer involved in. I quit going not long after that because to me the concept was going to crap. None of the Pizza Time Theatres I went to were still open at that point and at least in my world the only remnance of it was the walk around inside Showbiz. The Rock-afire shows were really sucking by that point and they weren't the real voices. My last experience with Showbiz was about 1988 and I saw the Tune Machine show in the store. I probably hadn't been to Showbiz Pizza in a year or two by that point. This was at the Monfort location in Dallas, Tx (store #100) that Aaron was at as Billy Bob and it was the first to get what is now known as Studio C (it was originally the Awesome Adventure Machine). That location now sits empty and the store is now down the street in the mall's parking lot. I do not remember what they had for walk arounds at that store. I was slightly re-energized about it again since I was impressed by the show. I didn't ever go back because the Showbiz by my house was out of business at that point and Monfort was a pretty good drive for me plus I was in 6th grade by then and had basically outgrown Showbiz and Chuck E. Cheese.

    Hangin' with the rat since 1981...
