Eek! Ernie Kovacs, what were you thinking?

Yeah really, he could have at least sent me the 21AXP22 out of it! LOL!

Ernie was great! Too bad he didn't survive long enough to do his show in color. His is one of the few B/W shows I watch on my CTC-4.

I think it might have been mentioned here before, but there is ONE Kovacs show that survives in color in the UCLA archives. On a 16mm collectors' site, a couple of people posted that a digibeta copy (of the lenticular 16mm kinescope) was shown two years ago at Cinecon.

There's a new box set of previously unreleased Kovacs material in the works. We can only hope this is included.

Ernie Kovacs was a genius, and how sad he died so young. I think that we have all been cheated out of seeing many things he would have done had he lived a long life. His surviving material shows his brilliant genius of visual comedy. Thank goodness not all of his material was lost or destroyed over the years.
