Way back in 1985, I was hired as a writer/actor for two new TV shows which premiered on Imevision Channel 7 before it became today's TV Azteca. Both were weekly series, both were just a string of comedy sketches in the spirit of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In and Saturday Night Live and both were cancelled after about 25 episodes, (along with three other shows which formed Channel 7's comedy schedule). Channel 7 and Imevision were sold to private investors and the entire staff and talent was dismissed and replaced. And so...the world was saved!
For those interested in such trivia, the 2 shows I did were EL HUMOR ES UNA COSA ESPLENDOROSA (”Humor Is A Many Splendored Thing") and MANDARINA MECĂNICA ("A Clockwork Tangerine").
