The series "Fernwood Tonight" is a sitcom in much the guise of talk show. It is actually what a character on TV would watch on TV. Good musical numbers, fine drawings (reminiscent of the real life talk show 'The Tonight Show" starring Johnny Carson) pervade the series. But the show has a bad left-wingisgh feel. It is slightly anti-Vietnam War feel in the form of not comely "guest" Susan Cloud (see below). Sometimes the show is really just weird and the humor slightly nasty and forced (especially about the very talented show band).
PS Ken Burns admitted in his own book on Vietnam that Ho Chi Minh was a brutal mass-murderer of landlords. The character of Susan Cloud is Norman Lear's devotion to hurting those Americans who fought Ho's mass-murdering government in the 1960's! Like his other series 'All in the Family'.
