A very funny Cinemax show. Guy opens things up as he reads letters from viewers asking for British shows. One letter is from Oakland Raider Lyle Alzado. Guy angrily tells them he won't do it, since PBS gets all the good stuff.
Ed Grimley stars in a fairy tale about a Fella Who Was The Size Of Someone's Thumb. He has two evil brothers (John Hemphill and Eugene Levy) who use him as a salt shaker and drop peas on him. Alan Alda (Flaherty) plays the fairy godfather who makes Ed big, but he also ends up naked. He winds up in prison. Alda talks with Ed after the show and talks about how he wanted to talk about prison reform in the fairy tale.
A running joke is a commercial with Hemphill as a doctor giving medical advice in just a minute;
Canadian Gaffes And Practical Amusements is a spoof of the American blooper and practical jokes shows. It has the cast of Headline Challenge. The practical jokes are limited to ringing doorbells and hiding. Dougall Currie (Levy) only gaffe is breaking wind.
Melonville Calendar has Yolanda and the Rotary Club chairman (Hemphill) with a new misspelled welcome sign for Melonville. The credits roll.
