Talk:The Chevy Chase Show

I'm going to go under the Berlin Wall

On the show's cancellation: "FOX executives said a big reason that the show was cancelled was Chevy's personality. It was well agreed that he was comedic in nature and could win over audiences, but he was not adept at taking a more serious tone, such as if the guest was noted for being outside of entertainment, such as a Nobel Prize winner". There's nothing exceptionally wrong with these sentences, apart from the fact that the FOX executives are unsourced. But it seems clear from the articles I have read about this, and the clip I have just seen, that the reason for the show's failure was Chevy Chase's nervousness in front of a live studio audience; and a lack of good material to cover this up (Clive Anderson in the UK was also very nervous in a similar format, but his show worked, and was popular, because the material was good, and Clive Anderson was charismatic). How do we get this across in an objective, sourced encyclopaedia article? The few mainstream publications that wrote about it did so in 1993, before the internet was widely available, and e.g. jumptheshark.com isn't really a source. -Ashley Pomeroy 23:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

The other The Chevy Chase Show

It seems there was also a programme that aired on 5 May 1977 titled The Chevy Chase Show, a sketch-comedy special.  Here is IMDb's page for said programme.

Unfortunately, there is currently no article for this special on Wikipedia.  But, even more surprising is the fact that this other programme is not even briefly mentioned in this article.  As they both share the same title, there ought to at least be some mention that these are two separate programmes.
