America 2Nite Episode 52 -Punk Country

Credit goes to T.A.T. Communications Company on Archive.org.
I uploaded three episodes here so that they would be easier to find for Varney fans.
In this installment, Barth is told that money has not changed Mr. Simms. Virgil, who is looking positively funky fresh with a burst of cool citrus flavor, announces that he has a steady girlfriend who does graphic design and explains his mighty fine pet project for recreational vehicle owners.

Ah, the late, great Jim Varney! I absolutely loved America 2Nite and Fernwood 2Nite.

RIO Martin Mull. He was a true comic genius!

[@ronniecozzi8385]

Greatest television show of all time.

[@georgejetson4378]

Wish they would rebroadcast this amazing show! Hysterical comedy. Martin Mull was a genius!

I loved these shows--saw Tom Waits for the first time on this show playing the Piano has been drinking.

Only six comments … this one will take off. Thanks for releasing it. These episodes are great. The first spoof is a good parody on the Network’s love of problems for commercialized television. Thanks for the link to other episodes.

I remember watching this as a teenager, there was nothing like it at the time. I laughed so hard, and I'm grateful you uploaded these and brought back the good memories.

Whatever happened to Martin Mull ? That show was great.

[@deecook8393]

He is 80 years old and doing fine.

[@alisong2328]

He passed away on June 27, 2024 at the age of 80 after fighting a long illness. 😢

This guy sending up Tom Snyder is pretty funny.

[@tomminkler7640]

Kinda channeling Dan Ackroyd too right?

[@ChristineBabyGirl29]

Why does he got to be so hot in his shirt

[@chrisballas3356]

In the '70s there was a handful of shows that you could really get obsessed over. This was one of them.

I used to like the introduction of the original Fernwood Tonight version when they would pan to the much smaller audience sitting in what I think were folding chairs. They really had no idea what the show was about.
