This was a great show. We loved watching the 50's come alive each week as the band brought back some of the greatest music ever made. Sha Na Na was the GREATEST tribute band ever assembled because they didn't just salute a single band- they saluted an entire decade of music! Boy, just think of the great music of the 50's, with so many great songs! That's what Sha Na Na meant to so many of us- they were our connection to the music of the 50's. There was such personality to the band- and Bowzer was the "leader of the pack." He had a great way of making each show so much fun. Sha Na Na is still touring and I'd recommend seeing them as a fun way to see what music used to be like- FUN!

I had forgotten this was ever on until I was reading this on IMDb. I saw this one time, over a decade ago, and it was a heart felt tribute to a comedian, Mr Benny Hill, who had become a worldwide sensation. Benny had always been popular in England, but when his shows were rerun in the US in the 1980's, he led his own "British invasion" of comedy. His humor wasn't topical, political, or led by insults, but it was wonderful, warm, and witty. The writing was superb, and his timing (faces, lines, falls, etc...) was something to be seen. Benny Hill was a comic genius, and I wish he was still alive and making new shows. This special was a tribute to Benny and should be seen by those who loved Benny and his incredible sense of humor.

HA! -That's Alf's trademark phrase. Paul Fusco brought Alf to our planet back in the mid-1980's and he's been making us laugh ever since. The show "Alf" was on NBC for a few years, and has been in reruns ever since. Alf was funny on his show and that was more than just laughs for kids. Alf and Willy were a funny comedy team, and they could make anyone laugh. Now Alf has his own talk show and it's funny stuff. Alf is a witty host, and he can go verbally head-to-head with any major star. The guests have included: Tom Green, Merv Griffin, and Leon Redbone. You have to see it to believe it. The real surprise here is Ed McMahon. Here's a man in his 70's, and he really seems to be having fun along with his pal, Alf. Ed begins every show with a rousing "Here's Alf", and Ed plays a brilliant straight man to Alf. If you haven't seen this show, yet, try to catch it. This is good, potentially great television.
