And not to mention the Nairobi trio. I have the python on DVD, any chance for Ernie to get the archival treatment?joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012988242988060487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-14955903289684097232007-05-25T20:55:00.000-07:002007-05-25T20:55:00.000-07:00thanks!you've picked a good one!I recommend the bi...thanks!<BR/><BR/>you've picked a good one!<BR/><BR/>I recommend the biography, the name of which escapes me. <BR/><BR/>Darn shame Ernie died in a Corvair.

I loved it when I was kid - it was often re-run. In addition to Kovacs, I had "The Wallace and Ladmo Show", which was just as subversively funny, and tho nominally a kids show, it often had Kovacs inspired bits.

I'm laughing and I really needed the laugh today.<br /><br />When I was in junior high school the PBS affiliate in our little town ran two shows that had a formative effect on my sense of humor : Ernie Kovacs and Monty Python's Flying Circus. I've never been the same since , and I'm glad of it...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162612139500138953noreply@blogger.com
