First viewed : 1987
I only caught a brief glimpse of this hit American comedy show when it got a mid-evening slot on BBC Two in 1987. I had a dim view of American comedy anyway but this took the cake. The titular star seemed to be just standing around flashing his teeth at the audience and laughing at his own jokes. I was appalled and never watched it again. It ran from 1986 to 1990.
I don't mind this, but thought the whole concept was done a lot better when lifted by Sean Hughes. Perhaps it was just a matter of it starring a comedian more attune of my reference points.
