...This show bears a more than coincidental resemblance to Sid Caesar's old Your Show of Shows. The perils it presents to a man whose joints have been vulcanized by excesses of meaningful booze and meaningless sex are substantial: an erratically egomaniacal star (Joseph Bologna); an aggrieved hoodlum (Cameron Mitchell), convinced he is being satirized in one of the regular sketches and determined to have violent revenge; a writing staff headed by a man (Bill Macy) who knows only three emotions-panic, depression and obsequiousness; the general hysteria surrounding the weekly production of a program that is broadcast live...
