  8. Van Dyke and Company aired on NBC in 1976 but it was cancelled after 15 episodes. Andy Kaufman was the outrageous and outlandish comedian who was a regular on Van Dyke and Company. He appeared at the height of his career in "Taxi". The group of mime performers were the L A Mime Company. Dick Van Dyke cancelled his own show "The New Dick Van Dyke Show" two years earlier to get an opportunity to do a variety show even though it was a solid top program for CBS. Someone else can go if they have one.
  9. Didn't you know that George likes to go to "Mystery Men" a lot WordWolf, its one of those multi-characters movies? Marley & Me Vince Vaughn Four Christmases

  11. In his own words, "I never had the chance to do a variety series, so I'm going to spread myself out." Dick Van Dyke said before embarking on his new show 'Van Dyke and Company', "I'm not afraid to try anything on this. I'm too old to worry about ratings. I say, let's simply please ourselves. If it's to be fifteen shows and out, so be it, and I'll go home and go sailing and the hell with television." Pulled this from a site called TVparty! Here is that link: van dyke & company
  12. You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs? Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the exercise video. Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs. Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going. Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man? I would go for the 7. Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk. You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that? If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B". That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh? No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel. That - good point. 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. Why? 'Cause you're frickin' fired! And, a couple one liners. I couldn't believe that she knew my name. Some of my best friends didn't know my name. Boy, don't make me open up a can of whoop-foot! Is that... is that hair gel? I want a guy who can play 36 holes of golf, and still have enough energy to take Warren and me to a baseball game, and eat sausages, and beer, not lite beer, but beer. That's my ad, print it up. "Fatty who likes golf and beer." Gee, Mary, where are you gonna find a gem like that?
  13. Well no, that wouldn't be it since it wasn't called "The Wilson Show was it? I figured that this show would be a show that came from unfamiliar territory. I know I wouldn't know it. I could give you the name of the comedian with the outlandish and unorthodox routines (famous for one tv show, died early, and now some give him an Iconic status), but it still wouldn't help anyone connect to the tv show. It was like a one hit wonder in music only it was on television for a brief moment and then we blinked.
  14. Oh right. Leap of Faith Philip Seymour Hoffman Doubt
  15. Leap of Faith Philip Seymour Hoffman Amy Adams
  16. It means a celebrity I'll use Morton Downey Jr for an example has a variety show and calls it the Downey Show, that's really about it. I did find that the show had a credit for another previous year but I suspect that it never aired for whatever reason. No, it's not the Sonny Comedy Revue. There isn't a whole lot of plot information to glean from because it only ran one year. Apparently, this variety/ comedy show (I haven't seen before only briefly caught it on the Decades channel the other day) had another reoccurring segment about the "dumbest family in the world".
  17. Oh, I meant John Denver not Bob. George is close. It is mid 70's.
  18. OK. Here' one. The name of this TV show was the name of a celebrity who starred of the show, but not with name that you may be familiar with. Like a lot of variety shows of this period there were appearances by many hollywood elites some the like of Lucille Ball, Karl Reiner, Chevy Chase, Carol Burnett, Sid Caesar, Bob Denver, Mary Tyler Moore, Jack Nicklaus, George Foreman and Freddie Prinze. On the show, one of stars known for his outlandish and unorthodox stand up comedy routines played in a regular skit where he would interrupt the host and tell a joke or perform some shtick. The show was short lived and lasted only a year. There was also a regular appearance by a group or mime troupe of performers that put an extra spin on this comedy show.
