The Boob Tube - Help

[historian]

Has anyone ever heard or seen this movie??? It was made in the 60's by a small tv station in the village in nyc and is absolutely hilarious. I cant find a copy of it anywhere who has even heard of it.
Appreciate any help thanks

1. It was shown on my campus when I was a student in the sixties.

I do remember it being hilarious. I don't know how to obtain a copy, though. Sorry.

2. Yes

That was the one with the talking penis at the end. And the gelatinous water featured in the corporate ad.
You could try one of the cult video suppliers, or one of the newsgroups.
Maybe even E-Bay for a copy.

3. ?

You don't mean the underground film that was later 're-made' into the Groove Tube in the early 70s?

5. If it is...

... the same film there is are several pages devoted to it in 'Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live' (can't remember the authors' names, my copy is at home, but it was published around 1983 or so).

According to the book, the film was apparently a very important influence on SNL, and it also influenced NBCs decision to allow Lorne Michaels to pursue his vision at the time.
