The show has only ever been released on VHS. In 1995, two versions were released in the United States: one containing the first three episodes, the other the last three episodes.
Ironic given Jim Carrey's over-the-top persona on stage that on this show, and the movie Once Bitten, he'd be given the straight man role while the wackiness abounds from characters around him.
Jim Carrey did his first appearance on David Letterman's Late Night right after the show was canceled. After Carrey's wild act of impressions, from Sammy Davis Jr. to Clint Eastwood, Letterman mentioned the show, and Carrey pretended to start crying, then said, "I miss Jack Gilford's stories."
It was Jim Carrey's first lead role in a Hollywood production.
The show initially aired at 9:30 on Thursday nights, directly after Cheers, and replaced Buffalo Bill on NBC's schedule.
