Through Wednesday evening, the Large Hearted Boy blog is holding a contest. You can win The Complete Monty Pythons Flying Circus: Collectors Edition Megaset, and all you have to do is to name your favorite TV comedy. 320 comments in, I was the very first person to name the Ernie Kovacs show. That don’t seem right. Depending on the day, I might also cite The State (also unmentioned in all those comments), which I stand by as being the single best sketch comedy show, better that Python, Kids in the Hall or anything.
You have a little over 48 hours from when I’m posting this. If you are at all interested, step on up and comment.
Porcupine Racetrack might very well be one of the best skits ever. It’s right up there with anything Python except, of course, The Dead Parrot Sketch.
Is saying Dr Katz a cheat? sure it’s got a bunch of comedians doing part of their acts, but when the scripted stuff with Katz and his son Ben are funnier than the bits, I think it’s got a shot.
Dude, your favorite is your favorite. I liked Dr. Katz too, pre-canned stand up routines notwithstanding. Follow the link and leave the comment, and maybe you walk away with the DVDs!
