Note de chris-636
I remember watching this series when it aired in the place of the vacationing Jackie Gleason on Saturday nights during the summer of '67. This was the show that introduced me to a then young beardless George Carlin. I'd definitely like to see this show in reruns someday. A true classic with a trio of big future stars (Greco, Rich, Carlin). If anyone has any information on how I can retrieve this vintage variety series on DVD (or even VHS), please don't hesitate to contact me here. I've been a fan of Carlin for many decades now and was sadden by the news of his passing. He was truly in a league of his own with his comic views.
There were some episodes of this series that featured the lovely actress Meredith Baxter Birney in one, John Rubinstein in another with Jessica Walter. However, the titles of these episodes escapes me. Anyway, it was a great series even though short-lived. I do believe that if this series had moved to another night, it might have survived a little bit longer. It seems like over the last several decades, NBC has let high quality programs just vanish, never to be seen or heard of again. Too bad the same NBC President responsible for salvaging "Hill Street Blues", "Cheers" and "St. Elsewhere" wasn't around to save this series. Perhaps a VHS or DVD would be nice, but since it was so short with very limited episodes, that's probably highly unlikely.
Even after more than 20 years now, this show wasn't a totally bad sitcom and I thought it had promise, but for some odd reason I just couldn't picture comedian Jimmie Walker as a military man (since I still couldn't get over his J.J. Evans role from his previous series "Good Times"). This series did remind me a little in the combination of "M*A*S*H" and "Roll Out". One episode that stands out to me featured ex-heavyweight champion boxer Ken Norton looking to beat up the man who stole his girl (Tina Andrews). Of course that man was the Jimmie Walker character and how hilarious it was for him hiding out as a medical patient with head bandages. What a classic!
