I remember this show vividly. There was another skit in which Foreman was the trainer and Berry was the boxer. Foreman ended the skit by tearing up a restaurant set. Do you have that part of the show and can you post it?

[KenBerryFan]

No, I don't have that one, but it sounds like a great skit! I wish I had it. I love it when I discover a new Ken Berry video or clip.

Believe it or not, I have an audio copy of that skit. I used to tape a lot of TV when I was young.

That's so cool to hear, because I still have audio cassettes of the original Donny and Marie show. Before vcrs!

Billy and Ted sadly are no longer with us, such great comedians, gone too soon.

God Bless them Both, thanku for the memories xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and for the information. I'm sorry they are gone. I have two episodes of "The Ken Berry Wow Show" and Billy is in both episodes. They were very talented and I bet very under-appreciated.

Can someone please tell me what year this was made in? Thanks

Zeigler is the hapless opponent to George Foreman.

He hosted a kiddie show previously in Canada called the Johnny Jellybean show, so he might have voiced these cartoon characters but i'm not sure.

@garydmclean most of my friends were not allowed to watch Johnny Jellybean at lunchtime but I was. I think that Johnny helped me to become the person that I am today. In fact, Morrie the Mailman inspired me to join the post office to continue my career in light-hearted comedy.:-)

The short French soldier is played by Peter Cullen who is the voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoons and the Transformers movie.

Which one is Ted Zeigler?

Also, just to make sure, this is the SAME Ted Zeigler who was the voices of Mungo and Grampa on Heathcliff and the Catalac Cats, right?

Gary, thanks for the info! But are you sure that was the name of the song ? My memory is that there was a brief seven-note arpeggio that sounded like a jack-in-the-box, then a martial vamp for a few bars (sometimes as a joke this vamp went on for quite a while), and finally male voices that seemed to be singing "Oh, when the men come a-marching ..." which was as far as it got before it began to degenerate into random noises. Where did you get the title "Sideways Through the Sewers of the Seine"?
