It occurred to me, that if PBS only shows a narrow window of the years R-G
was produced, they have likely never heard his songs or poetry. You know
"The Winter Of Our Discount Tent" and all. I found those, and
Adventures With Bill - as slapstick as they can be - some of the funniest
moments.

I wonder too, how many guest spots they might have been exposed to. Like
Edgar Montross played by Graham Greene, or Gordon Pinsette playing the BS
guy. (Forget the characters name just now.) Just last week, I saw Dave and
Ian Thomas do a skit. Kinda a Smothers Brothers vibe to it. Pretty funny,
it was.
