D.C. Follies is an 80s comedy television series, remade from a British television series. The late night show featured puppets by Sid & Marty Krofft. The puppets were usually of political figures (especially former presidents) as well as celebrities of the day. Another fixture on the show was Fred Willard, known for his part in Roxanne and several of the Christopher Guest movies. The first episode featured then champ Mike Tyson, who chats with Reagan while Carter, Ford and Nixon bumble around like the three stooges. In one of the few semi-serious moments, Tyson appears as a voice of reason to the Gipper and Gorby. The second episode's special guest is Olympic diver Greg Louganis. Louganis has a funny dance number with Mr. Ford. Another running joke in this episode is Nixon trying to dispose of the missing 18 minutes of tape from the Watergate recordings, only to lock himself in a basement. Many of the topical gags really date the humor but it's really just light-hearted fun, especially compared to the lousy political humor of today.MORE
