SCTV (TV Series) Bob Hope Desert Classic (1978) User Reviews

This is Bob "get your ball out of my fairway" Hope

[WinTheGreen · 10/10 · 9 February 2024]

Dave Thomas playing Bob Hope - "This is the only golf course in the world were golfers yell 'ceasefire' instead of 'fore'.

All the traps on the course are grass and the rest of the course in sand. (Well what would one expect in the desert in Saudi Arabia)?

The whole spectacle is hilarious. Dave does a great Bob Hope. I love the shenanigans where Menachem Begin has a "bad lie" and an argument ensues with Yasser Arafat.

Yasser Arafat refuses to leave the 12th green as his men occupy the hole! (Priceless). Menachem Begin's foursome occupy a small strip on the 13th fairway. Bob Hope takes cover in a grass bunker to avoid the golf balls being fired at each other by the two "occupying" groups. I won't spoil anymore of that segment.

On Monster Chiller Horror Theatre, it's the "semi-classic" The House of Cats. Dr. Tongue with his loyal companion Bruno...played by the incomparable Woody Tobias Jr., turn people into cats. Unfortunately for the good doctor & Bruno the cats turn on them. The special effects throughout this skit are state of the art. (Dripping with sarcasm).

Count Floyd is getting greedy here as the 3D glasses are now up to 27 bucks.

Hilarious episode. Very highly recommended!

Hilarity With Dave Thomas As Bob Hope For The First TIme

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 2 May 2020]

Definitely one of the best episodes, some of greatest characters and impressions.

Count Floyd introduces Dr Tongue's 3D House Of Cats, one of the best 3D sketches. Dr Tongue and Bruno turn their victims into cats but they all attack them.

SCTV Sports Central has Keith and Phyllis back talking about Bob Hope's golf and comedy career.

Andrea Martin gets two funny sketches-A commercial where she takes Delay, a pill which delays her headache until her party is over. Then she is Betty Bain Professional Juror as he constantly leaves her family to serve on jury duty.

Masterpiece Theater-Alastair Cooke is interrupted by Bob Hope plugging his new special. Cooke threatens him.

In the Desert Classic, Bob Hope hosts a golf event in the Middle East. My hilarious moments with Bob's monologue.,Flaherty as Richard Nixon and alos as Chuck Heston parting a pipeline for Golda Meir (Andrea). Bob plugs his next special and the credits roll.
