This show actually makes more sense than reality.

Is this the first thing Robin Williams ever did?

This is a bugger to sing without getting your tongue in a twist. He nails it completely. Stupendous. Tips you can take from the way he does it - do not take too many breaths and sing very lightly on the "front" of the voice with your diction right on the tip of your tongue.

Wow super early Corey Feldman

That’s Fanny Flagg

Fred Willard is so incredibly funny, this series is so many levels ahead of what TV was really like.

Martin Mull

Martin Mull always made me laugh. R.I.P. Great tv show!

Rosanna Arquette was one of the Fernwood Swim Team! She's on the right cube at the beginning of the routine.

Aloha, I remember this show. So happy it popped up; you got me laughing out loud throughout the whole show. Genius improv. I saw Fred Willard in NYC at an improv club, could have been Bud Freeman’s, before he made it big. Martin Mull is hilarious. All the guests are brilliant. Bravo👏🏼🤣🥇😂.

so good.

Probably the funniest show ever, IMO

Bought a bootleg set of both Fernwood tonight and America tonight. Watch both regularly. Please release a legit box set!

RIP Fred Willard RIP Martin Mull

These are great.....❤

So, uhm,... did Paul Shaffer partly build his career on riffing off of and developing Frank De Vol's Happy Kyne---? Sure looks like it from here. Anywho, this is still good, solid parody and satire. At that, it's even more out on the comedy tangent than MH2 for Lear. Also, long after this was made, I did a bunch of public access TV, so it all makes a lot more sense to me. Gorgeous, really.

Has there ever been a funnier show on tv?

Because his twin brother Garth died by drowning in a bowl of soup on Mary Hartman Mary Hartman

18:40 "It's still warm..." I'm dyin'!!!! 🤣

So funny

Too bad about the hum in the audio.Needed a pre -amp.

The death of the polyester leisure suit. white belts, platform shoes and disco music.

Friggin great.....❤

Candy Lee Hargrove (Mrs.. Fascinating Female) is of course an actress, but so natural in her role that it's scary. ☺

5:08 sister Mirth Gimble

13:32 Bella Abzug

Why does everyone say "Barth", even Barth himself. Or is it just me?

maybe WOWIE can save in case ...trump cant

Write trump a letter...Man

Democratic and Independents Republicans into Showtime....right to imitate black people like Justin Beebers Rap Circle of Jesus of BS Trump...Whoa and Behold Jesus....here I Am...Martin Mull at a mall ...republicans...btw when we get to 3 days guests ....Scram Sam Trump and BS on USA Markets of how to spell leisure suits...OMG Feathered Caps...Banksy Future Cloth and clothing Adam and Eve...BTW Furniture Man

Intro for a guy in an iron lung: "Howard Palmer, with that wonderful laid back style..." 🤣🤣🤣

Uncle. sam jr. Is great!! He made laugh out loud many times!! Kudos👏

This is hilarious, especially the musical numbers!👏

Side-splitting!

I've been thinking about this episode with Happy's niece Joanie since I was 8 years old. So glad I found it.

Is that Lotus Weinstock?

Awesome pre-PC humor! ❤

The whole Fernwood fantasy world was a hilarious magic moment. Crazy!❤

Always felt that Fernwood provided a kind of template for the early years of Late Night with David Letterman.

Martin Mull was so brilliantly dismissive. One of his trademarks as a comedian. He does his magic here at 8:52 when he says “that’s fascinating” to the girls. Haha.

Show was ahead of it's time. How much of the show was scripted, we'll never know. The writers were amazing, Martin & Fred were definitely Masters of improvision.

He can sure play that horn 🎺🎺!

Is that Sydney Penny as one of the little girls?

This is incredible. Glad I found it. This is exactly the time I need it. Thank you.

Premier of sanford and sons?

The funny thing about the man in the iron lung is that in reality the person would have to be up to their neck in it, so that the pressure in the iron lung could act on the lungs, allowing the person to breathe in and out. Thankfully, the iron lung was replaced by the ventilator.

That was my Accordion Teacher !!!, Frank Morocco !!!😊

Love the T.V. tray table that made it so easy to enjoy our frozen T.V. dinner while watching T. V. 👏💐💗🙋

We used those "tables" for our dinners while watching tv. Ah, the 70's. Mull and Willard did a great job entertaining us, and of course Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers - you could do a lot worse lol Willard's deadpan delivery was the best.

😂😂😂😂
