DON'T WORRY, WE'LL THINK OF A TITLE - Wednesday at 6:15 a.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies
Set this DVR for this genuine curio, a 1966 feature film with
Dick Van Dyke Showwriters' room sidekicks Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam, plus show-within-a-show producer/foil Richard Deacon. I haven't seen it myself -- in fact, didn't even know it existed -- but I just know it must be deliriously horrible. It's about a defecting cosmonaut, and Morey Amsterdam wrote it.
Other tube titans featured: DVD Show creator Carl Reiner, bowl-cut stooge Moe Howard, F-Troop schemer Forrest Tucker, Irene "Granny" Ryan, and such TV pioneers as Milton Berle and Danny Thomas.
