Edna Time

I was present at the taping of this show, which was butchered by the Fox network, slashed to half it's running time the day of broadcast. The original hour-long show was hilarious, featuring, in addition to the televised appearances by Roseanne & Tom Arnold, Luke Perry & Cesar Romero, surprise appearances by Cathy Ireland, Teri Garr & Patrick Stewart. Dame Edna, as usual, was too funny for America! This pilot never sold, which was a shame as it was an extremely funny show. Even the poor mutilated version that was broadcast was very funny. The studio audience contained such luminaries as Julian Sands, Cliff De Young & Miriam Margoyles. De Young also made an unbilled appearance in the broadcast show as a dermatologist, speaking only 3 words, in an infomercial parody for "EdnaDerm". Incidentally, this program was the final performance ever in the long and distinguished career of Cesar Romero.
