I absolutely YEARN for something like the "Ernie Kovacs show" or "Jackie Gleason" or "The Smothers Brothers" or "Laugh-In" or "The Colgate Comedy Hour" these days ...or even M*A*S*H....but they all want to be 'safe' and churn out variations on a theme vaguely resembling "Seinfeld" or "Cheers" or worse....

I have accidently tuned into that abomination named after "Drew Carey" a couple of times, only to be greeted by that fat woman with the ½ ton of make-up....arrrghhhhhhhhh
