The ABC Comedy Hour

You can order series At TV museum dvds. Great show from the 70s.

I just discovered this short series is available on TV museum dvds web site for those viewers interested in buying the show Daniel w miller from San Jose.

I have been looking for the DVD for years now. They've got the Dean Martin show, Carol Burnett, Johnny Carson, etc., etc. Some of these great talents are gone now and who knows how long I'll be here. Bring it back...please!

My High School buddies and I used to look forward to the next show. The series didn't last long enough and it was the best of the best impressionists as the time, perhaps ALL time. The skits were better than Saturday Night Live and MAD TV combined.

Will Jordan doing Ed Sullivan with the real Ed Sullivan on the show was perfect! Yeah, I know, most of the people they did are gone now, but I don't care!

I loved this show -- it was only on for a short time but has stuck in my brain all these years. Why no one has picked up the idea since is bewildering. I don't remember the Raymond Burr sketch, but it does sound reminiscent of what they did on the show. Brilliant.

I remember Marilyn Michaels being a standout -- not only because she was the only woman, but because she was so damn good! I also remember George Kirby. Amazingly, I DON'T remember Rich Little's participation, and didn't realize Fred Travalena was even performing that early.

For some reason I thought that this was originated by the BBC and syndicated in the US. But it is credited as an ABC show, so perhaps my memory is not serving correctly.

Producers: bring back The KopyKats..!! We need it so bad...!

I am glad someone remembers Will Jordan's participation in this underrated show. Ever since I saw Vaughn Meader do his JFK impression, I have wanted to do impressions. People like Gorshin, Little and some lesser known impressionists like Guy Marks made it an amazing art form. Many have noted that Marilyn Michaels was the only female doing it, but Debbie Reynolds also did some incredibly good impressions like her standout Mae West and Zsa Zsa Gabor (before there was a Paris Hilton there was this crazy Hungarian "actress," and I use the term loosely, who was in the Hilton family and the source of a lot of press attention. The irony of it was that when I was in high school I talked to friends a lot about how great it would be to have a show with people doing this very kind of show. The entertainment gods must have heard my pleas. Let us hope that they will listen again and bring this to DVD.
