Following on yesterday's post about the Videofreex, here's a look at the other side of "underground" video (if you can call it that) from the early 1970s... the Great American Dream Machine, a PBS comedy/reality(?) show. Highlights from the program have been out on DVD for some time, so I'm not sure if this gem is on there: an earnest musical number featuring Steve Katz of Blood, Sweat and Tears (and The Blues Project). A compilation of GADM work is here. And somewhere out there is possibly the best-remembered segment, featuring Albert Brooks' Famous Comedians School. Other contributors included Marshall Efron, Chevy Chase and Andy Rooney.
