It was one of those rare moments of television. When Tim Conway was given a second chance to have his own show, (Tim's 1970 show was cancelled by CBS after 13 episodes), and old idea from vaudeville was revived for network television - having members of the audience go on stage and play roles in a comedy sketch reading from cue cards cold turkey!

The result is truly amazing!

I adore how the Dorf keychain functions as a floatation device. Safety first!

I'm absolutely fascinated by the history of american television. So many hits, failures, and odd little gems like this in between. I would love for there to be a giant comprehensive documentary about it!

The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

I wanted the 21st century to eliminate the "copyright curse" and free-up all old content in a sort of re-assembly of the past. Using all that old 20th century stuff as a foundation, we can build toward a more entertaining future where old stuff is as easy to get to as new stuff.

The things people could do before the rise of the computer still amazes me.
