Now we have u-tube…
this is awesome. my friends and i all produce our own tv shows for public access. its really cool too see what they could get away with 30 years ago….
watch our show!
I saw it too. Remember the edition which featured the Ku Klux Klan?
Notably, the KKK phone-in (’Ring in, ask us ANYTHING!’) which attracted only abusive calls, and the spoof KKK disco-dancing, with robed-up KKK activists leaping around randomly firing pistols.
Funniest thing I ever saw, and it suggested that Americans generally despise prejudice, which was then a new idea to a lot of Brits. Great stuff.
I used to love watching Robin Byrd before going out on the weekends.
Richard F’ing Bey!!!!
I remember Manhattan Cable on CH4 in the UK every friday night
ow, robin was hot back then!
Am I on?
Fabulous memories of early Manhattan Cable TV public access programs. This was circa 1974 when service was only $5.00 per month. Thank you Richard Bey, Ugly George, Robin Byrd, Al Goldstein, Fantastic Fran, Richard Roffman and everyone else that gave us the original trash and reality TV shows.
Richard Bey, whilst spoofing as a hi-brow commentator, secretly tried to learn from Ugly George the Ancient Secrets of how 2 pick up chicks so he could get it on with Rhea Perlman (Mrs.Danny DeVito). Howard Stern wuz taking notes…
