    Funny what you wrote considering Burnett's parody of soap operas were actually called "As the Stomach Turns"

    I consider Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett comedy icons..when Lucy's act faded somewhat Burnett took the baton and ruled the tv airwaves during the 1970s...I can't think of anyone who has filled either of their shoes since.....

      That is rather ironic.
      I remember trying to like that show, as I liked all the personnel, but it just wouldn't appeal to me and eventually grew to hate it. It just seemed too shallow, especially as it became nearly iconic in repeats. I even consider Carol to be overrated, to me her body of work doesn't add up to her stature.

        In a way, the early SNL cast were successors to Burnett's crew, as far as providing sketch comedy that was live, spontaneous, and edgy for its time.

        Carol and Timmy seemed to provide the bulk of the spontaneity and energy, while Harvey, Vicki, and Lyle fed off of them wonderfully. This cast had a chemistry that was just unmatched. But later, Lyle and Harvey left and it just wasn't the same.

          Andy Kaufman purposely forgot his lines on the tv show "Fridays" during a skit. A pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards ad-libs by taking the cue cards and tossing it at Kaufman.

            Richards is on Cheers right now, playing an excentric artist. Or, is that redundant?

              Odd that the seeming one discrepency in ME's advertising is Hawaii 5-0 being on around the time of Cannon. It's not listed in the schedule today again. I'll tune in to check, hoping there's a mistake and I can watch it.

                  I know! My sleep schedule is nearly non-existant now.
                  Still no 5-0, yet they always advertise it, with a time slot. Pissin' me off.

                    Mission Impossible and Combat are both great shows.
                    There is a lot to read "between the lines" in the plot structure and dialog of both series.
                    Is the Rat Patrol available?
                    Another series I enjoy is "The Avengers" with
                    Emma and Patrick.
                    Some of that production crew worked on "The Saint"
                    and some of the initial Bond films.

                      Mary Tyler Moore is always good to watch.
                      I miss The Prisoner.

                        If you taking about the 12 noon timeslot, Mission: Impossible airs at that time.

                        This web site says Hawaii Five-0. Oceanic Digital guide says Mission: Impossible.

                          Yet thet air daily commercials promoting it and advertising it as airing around the Cannon time slot. Maybe it's a mainland thing.

                            Bummer news, they'll be showing MLB Giants games until the season's end. Being from LA, this is exceedingly horrific.

                              The Prisoner is a very strange show.
                              Worth watching with a skeptical eye.

                                Today (4/5/12) at noon I caught the end of Cannon, then the wave and beginning of the Hawaii 5-0 song started but was immediately over run by the Mission Impossible intro. Veery interestingg
