CGiii Comment
Once upon a time - many years ago - there was a sitcom that had us wailing with laughter.
Billy Crystal as a gay ventriloquist and a gay dummy...that was the 70s.
Classic.

The(ir) Blurb...
Parody of television soap-operas--the show's humor relies on exaggerating soap-operas' characteristic plot implausibility and melodrama to ridiculous extremes, then adds a fair bit of the truly bizarre, including some remarkable characters.
