Amusing social satire of the 1970's, 29 July 2000
Author: Randy H. Farb (rhfarb@yahoo.com) from United States

Robert Klein and Jerry Lacy, among others, hosted and participated in skits satirizing movies and television shows. It is a fore-runner to "Mad TV". Four hosts, Klein, Lacy, etc., would sing the title song, and then sit back in their chairs, looking like four news anchors. "Dean Martin Presents" tried a similar concept, in which Andy Kaufmann was first featured.
