STUFF D. Jan Cella writes: I never saw the show having grown up in Cincinnati in the 50’s but my father worked at WLWT, an NBC affiliate station. Being the publicity and promotional manager for the station, he would being merchandise home and one item he brought home was a Captain Bob’s Bell. I still have it in the box although it’s in fair to poor condition. The bell is fine – never taken out of the box. I don’t know if someone with memories of the show would like it in their collection of old TV show memorabilia. Bill Cosby admitted on Letterman that he stole one of George Carlin's routines.
Ken Levin discusses stealing jokes at his blog. Sad story - Peter Falk (Columbo) has been place in Conservatorship, meaning he can't handle his own affairs because of advanced dementia. I've been looking for this forever - Bette Midler is red hot on the Rolling Stone Magazine 10th Anniversary TV special. You gotta wonder how much of her comedy bit they cut out.

Each segment was narrated by a different star and they were sponsored by Shell (finally something good from an oil company). Every major star you can think of took part in the series. In this one, Oscar winner Jessica Tandy does the honors.
These spots are pretty rare, I was surprised no examples could be found on You Tube (until very recently). If I get enough requests I'll load up the only other one I have with Bella Abzug - but I doubt she's as popular as Ms. Tandy. Thanks once again to A. J. McWhorter from Television Archives.

At this time, 1978, he was working on Little Annie Fanny with Harvey Kurtzman for Playboy.
