This incredible series featured comedy sketches which were topical, cerebral, slap-stick and just incredibly funny. George McGrath is a comedy genius; perfect timing, excellent writing and awesome delivery; this effort SHOULD have propelled him into the spotlight. Tim Conway Jr balanced the show out perfectly; although apparently the 1st choice was a bit too (hardly) closeted to make it palatable for syndication (think "Men on Film" before its time). Not sure how, but they managed to get some incredibly talented actors (Mindy Sterling), and others who were...well...later became famous anyway (Lisa Kudrow). I'd have to say my favorite sketches were 1) Our Maid Imelda 2) Classic Tales Classically Told and 3) Videos banned by the Vatican. I sincerely wish the best to all the cast and crew 20+ years on from this show.
