Compiled from over 600 hours of classic Kovacs television footage, this opening volume in Kultur's 5-tape set, offers some of Kovacs' choicer bits. From 1950 to 1962, when his life was tragically cut short in a car crash, Ernie Kovacs constantly played with the visual medium, continually moving beyond the boundaries to discover some new--and usually funny--way to use television to communicate comedy. Classic bits on Vol. 1 include: the splashing eggs in the frying pan 1812 Overture, the Nairobi Trio, Kovacs' gloss on westerns, the incomparable Percy Dovetonsils, the Musical Office and the Kitchen Symphony, and the game-show parody "Whom Dunnit." Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
