After my father died, I never slept..... this show kept me alive for those months when I didn’t want to live. Depression! Thank you Martin and Fred. Came to Hollywood to meet you the summer of 1978, unfortunately you were on break. RIP Fred Willard.

On one episode they were joking about President Ford but the humor was funny and not offensive. Today the comedians get personal and hateful when they joke about our political leaders. They have lost the art of making everyone laugh at a political joke and nobody is offended.

Fred Willard's death today brought me here. I remember watching these way back along with" Mary Hartman- Mary Hartman." ITILII is right they were funny back in 77 and I think they still hold up. Thanks to whoever put these up along with leaving the commercials in. Rest In Peace Fred.

I always loved the opening shot of the audience. Mull’s character was the epitome of smarminess, which was the key to what made the show so funny. And the blank look on Jerry’s face was priceless. And no one can shake a booty like Happy.

Don't you just love those exotic set pieces, the TV tray tables? Pure class. The only thing missing from this episode is William W.D. "Bud" Prize with his innovative chin strap, selflessly giving hope to longstanding and neglected sufferers of improper chin alignment. Sure, his contraption looked unusual, but boy did it work like a charm!

Happy Kyne (the Band Leader) is Frank De Vol, he wrote and composed numerous Movie and TV scores "Music by De Vol." Dr. Osgood (Craig Richard Nelson) made various cameos in TV and Movies he was the Director for Quantum Leap and Square Pegs shows...and finally Alan Thicke was a writer too.

(starting at 12:30) I don't know how much of this is improvised, although I suspect most of it was... but Martin Mull and Fred Willard are exactly what you would expect, and Dabney Coleman, reprising his role from "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," enters near-Jonathan Winters territory. (If you're not familiar with the pedigree of "Fernwood 2-Night," look it up, it's worth it.) Addendum, one year later: I just watched the credits, and noticed that Alan Thicke was one of the producers, and Harry Shearer, a "consultant." No wonder this show was so good, right from the beginning. (I am not going to insult anyone reading this by explaining who they are.)

Fun fact: Harry Shearer was a writer for this show. Several years later, he, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest (along with rotating obscure British Prog Rock musicians who played the drummers and keyboardists) formed the fictitious Rock and Metal band Spinal Tap. And then several years after Spinal Tap, he went on to voice the following characters on The Simpsons: Principal Skinner Dr. Julius Hibbert (Until recent seasons) Reverend Lovejoy Ned Flanders C. Montgomery Burns Kent Brockman Lenny Leonard Otto the Bus Driver Waylon Smithers Scratchy the Cat Kang (the Alien in the Treehouse of Horror shows) Eddie the Cop Herman the Military Antique Dealer (See the first 7 Seasons for reference) Mr. Largo (Lisa's Music Teacher) and Dr. Marvin Monroe (in the first 3 seasons)
