In November, 1974, I discovered "Beyond Our Control". No other tv show was like it until the first episode of SNL in October of 1975. It was like the SNL cast had gone to an Indiana high school. I watched it from Wabash County, Indiana, where we could pick up both South Bend and Fort Wayne stations. It was "Must See TV" (to use a later phrase) and I never missed it. I watched it until life and college arrived to change my viewing plans. There were the skits and the one liners that I still use today. "How bad was it? Have you ever seen a dog get up and change the channel? " I didn't like the song they played at the end of the show. I skipped that part because it sounded too heartbreaking. I can only hope there is enough material out there for a DVD.
