Title: Valuable as an historical artifact
Review: Kovacs can be recognized as a bold, new innovator, and extraordinary talent as a character comic - although the only scant laughs in a typical show are found in his adlibs, "in character", i.e. Percy Dovetonsils, et. al.In this two-episode set, we have more of the avant-garde thing, accent on videotape tricks, and not on clever, pointed dialogue. Some intriquing camera angles, image manipulation; close-ups of the cast, who, by the way, are superb at mime. It's a shame that their work confuses the viewer more than entertains him/her.Best bit: Kovacs trouper as "Mother Rustic", who lives off the land...and relaxes by dabbling in conceptual painting, too far out for The Guggenheim!Main selling-point for this package: Kovac's last show from c. January, 1962. Plus interesting foreshadowings of the popular show Laugh-In.[some racial content, typical of the period].
