Frank De Vol was the Paul Schaeffer of his time.
Mary Hartman,Mary Hartman was so far ahead of it's time, although it
spoofed daytime soaps it actually became a great show in it's own
right a very funny series, same with Fernwood Tonight that was a
brilliant deadpan spoof of Late Night shows like Johnny Carson.
The mid to late 70's were not good a good time to for US TV, corporate
takeovers meant the same bean counters that lost Vietnam and ruined
Detroit did the same thing to TV, if you don't understand then watch
the movie "Network" then you may get it.
Now the bean counters even run our government.
Democrat or Republican wonder why we are both fucked ??
