There were snatches of that on the Flying Circus, but it's kind of hard to compare a sketch show and a sitcom.

That's fair, tho by contrast I'd say Dave Foley was better on KitH than NewsRadio (not that he was lousy on NR). Just thinking about which series I'd prefer to watch them on.Kory wrote: ↑26 Feb 2020, 6:17pmThere were snatches of that on the Flying Circus, but it's kind of hard to compare a sketch show and a sitcom.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
True. I'm in the middle of Newsradio right now (I got the box for Xmas), and Foley's character certainly misses the silly anarchy of his KITH incarnations. He's kind of the boring straight character in an office full of cartoons.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Feb 2020, 6:31pmThat's fair, tho by contrast I'd say Dave Foley was better on KitH than NewsRadio (not that he was lousy on NR).
