Calling Cybill Shepherd one of "America's hottest new stars" when her career had crashed several years before this cracks me up. As does the porno-style description of Bo Svenson. Those comedy specials look better than most of the current network.

@ Sallie Nennig The "Fruit Defense" sketch was the only part of the "Double Bananas" show with Monty Python in it. But seeing Monty Python on American television in 1978 was nothing new, as by that time Monty Python was already showing on PBS stations nationwide.

I didn't realize HBO even existed in 1978. I thought cable took off in the early 1980s.

Joanne Gerber Me too, but HBO debuted in 1972 in Manhattan as a local service. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO

Monty Python on HBO also?

Arnold Schwartzenegger has got big muscles, doesn't he?

I wonder if that weirdo film "The Last Days Of Man On Earth" is on DVD.

[@robatsea2009]

It is - it's been issued a couple of times though under its original title "The Final Programme".

[@luisreyes1963]
