The Groove Tube

gL7UT[1]

This collection of satirical sketches about television was released in 1974, the heyday of obvious pop-culture humor along the lines Cheech and Chong. With Saturday Night Live still a few years away, Chevy Chase made an appearance here, and one can see the acute sensibility that would redefine television comedy in its early form. It also stars Richard Belzer (from TV's Homicide) in his sharp-tongued, formative stage. The film served as one of the influences on the rise of ironic humor in the '70s.
