- June 10, 2019Actually, not that bad

I thought the falcon skit (by, I think, Jack Sheldon) went on too long, but it's a shame they didn't give this spirited show a chance to grow. Said to be a progenitor to Laugh-In (Alan Sues is in a couple of skits here); I liked the Mona Lisa, Cleopatra, and GI recording skits best. Stars show up with signs in last minute, but I did a Google image search to verify most of them.

Love Jay Ward/Bill Scott and their animated work. Their live-action work falls flat. "Fractured Flickers" and this misbegotten work should never have been made.
