This wacky 1970s time capsule is notable for its format, themes, and no-holds-barred parodies of network television--news reports, commercials, and sitcoms. THE GROOVE TUBE probably takes a cue from British comedy troupes like Monty Python. A raunchy precursor to films like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, as well as television sketch comedy from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE to THE KIDS IN THE HALL, THE GROOVE TUBE is also notable for early appearances from Chevy Chase and Richard Belzer.
The Groove Tube's real attractions are its acute observations of the details of television, and its capturing of the zeitgeist to perfection.

Three's Company - Season Four (DVD)
The television series that made stars out of John Ritter (who was nominated for three Emmys) and Suzanne Somers, THREE'S COMPANY has been a mainstay of television, both during its initial run and in syndication, every since it first premiered. Its formula of slapstick comedy, racy double entendres, and comic misunderstandings is well-known to millions of viewers. SEASON FOUR collects all 25 episodes that aired during the 1979-1980 season, when the show was routinely number one or two in the ratings. This season was also the first with Don Knotts as landlord Ralph Furley, replacing the Ropers, who had been granted their own spin-off sitcom. THREE'S COMPANY was massively popular during its initial eight season run, and has since become a television landmark.

Guy Montag is a fireman; he loves the act of burning, but he`s never actually stopped to consider what it is he`s burning. Nor has he ever stopped to consider...
