We have to win $500,000 to save the show, to boycott the show from getting cancelled.
A lot of Tim Conway to enjoy. One of the funniest comedians ever! I actually recall watching Ace Crawford back in the day. Too bad Mr. Conway wasn’t able to succeed on a TV series when he was on his own . Thanks for posting all of these listings!
Hey. This is TV Obscurities. I have some research on https://www.youtube.com/user/PanamaMike2012/videos
Panama Mike watched obscure shows in wake of COVID-19, from 1995 and beyond.
Wished that TV Obscurities purchased this YouTube channel for $500 million dollars. Hope Mike retitled it to “TV Obscurities on YouTube”
