TV SHOWS - The Uncle Floyd Show - The Best Of The Uncle Floyd Show [DVD

Before Pee Wee Herman, before Saturday Night Live, on US TV there was The Uncle Floyd Show, a no-budget daily variety programme that made cheap TV funny (or made funny TV cheaply). Unrehearsed, unscripted and unedited, The Uncle Floyd Show blended vaudeville, slapstick and burlesque with unexpected, often anarchic results. Uncle Floyd is assisted by his wisecracking puppet pal Oogie and supported by an assortment of showbiz misfits in ridiculous comedy bits and assorted wackiness, the likes of which have never been seen on TV before or since. Two hours, colour.
