If this show were on today, it'd get plugged 900 times in a span of 30 minutes by tbs.

@winrx Actually this guy is a native Ukrainian immigrant. Thus, it's not a fake accent

This guy (Yakov Smirnoff) actually invented the Russian Reversal joke

Noahf67 is ignorantly talking off the top of his head. Cheap sets? My husband designed the sets, and they were not cheap. The show was taped, and filmed sets look better. Cheap writing? Mike Scully & Frank Mula have enjoyed sixteen pretty good years on the Simpsons & other shows. Google them. Canned laughs? I was in the studio audience several times & got the usual pep talk from the warmup comedian. The cast was strong, and this was as good as many shows that made it.

Thanks a bunch for your info and insight!! I didn't know Scully and Mula wrote for this show. Always loved their Simpsons episodes. This kinda show definitely wouldn't fly today because everyone is too sensitive and easily offended by every little thing.
