WordWolf Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 one of those shows from PBS or something along those lines.Heck if I know! This show was never up to the standards of PBS. This is NOT a recent show-it aired some time ago. This show sometimes got static over the musical numbers and the "questionable" humour. This show mixed comedy skits with visual gags and speeded-up motion. This show had a number of regular characters, and the most common recurring characters showed up in interviews, where the real name of the interviewer was used in the skit, as he interviewed the character, who was always doing some DIFFERENT profession from last time, as if they were being introduced now.

WordWolf Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 sounds like Benny Hill, though I would have never have known it by the clues. Correct, which makes this hiway29's turn. I thought naming "Fred Scuttle", Henry McGee and THAMES TELEVISION were giveaways for anyone who watched the show. Henry McGee interviewed "Fred Scuttle" and "Chou Minh" a LOT. I thought of that, since BH used all sorts of word play, but I thought he quit taping before the Osmonds became famous.George Apparently not. Actually, he taped several years that were never aired in the US. (They werent as funny as the ones that WERE aired here.)
