I watched the Chun King Chow Mein Hour as a grade school child. It aired on ABC. Today, were someone to produce this show, ABC would not likely air it, due to what we (today) would call ethnic insensitivities. But one should not judge one era by another's standards.
What I enjoy about the show is the classic Freberg approach, applying satire to the events and media of the day. His "Simg Along With Freeb" is hilarious...if you remember "Sing Along With Mitch" If not, it's just silliness.
I'm also impressed with the cameos by the stars of the day.
I was fortunate enough to acquire a copy of the show on VHS several years ago. I don't know that any digital media exist. I'd buy a DVD if there were a legal one. But, being Freberg-addicted, that's true of any video of his.
