"With Seinfeld Alumnus Micheal Richards losing his own show this season, I'm always amazed that I never hear about the first show he was on, an ensemble comedy show much like Saturday Night Live, but on Friday nights.

"I personally loved that show, and the nascaent persona that Richards developed in that show was a silent one, waiting for Kramer to give him speech. Richards also looked pretty hilarious in drag, too. Lots of other funny folk, which, other than Mark Blankenfield or Blankenship, (Take a PILL!) I've forgotten their names.

"I've never seen this repeated on Comedy Central either, but then, in the name of getting my own work done, I jettisoned from cable a number of years back."

FRIDAYS

Fridays lasted from April 1980 until October of 1982 when 'Nightline' expanded to five nights a week. Michael Richards (Kramer on 'Seinfeld') was part of an ensemble cast that included Melanie Chartoff, Mark Blankenfield and Larry David (co-creator of "Seinfeld").

"There was a skit on Fridays that resulted in mass protest afterward - Diner of the Living Dead. There were a few other controversial classics, such as "The Muppet Hunters", the one that had the 3 Stooges as pot-heads and a few pre-Kramer skits that Michael Richards appeared in."
