Here's a compilation of clips taken from a VHS home recording made in June of 1985. The clips come from the premium cable channel Showtime, after a late-night airing of the 1978 Australian soft-core film Felicity, leading into the opening minutes of "The Rick and Bob Report." Video and audio quality aren't great.
After the last two seconds of the movie, you'll see:
--the Showtime "Private Screenings" close, no music
--Next tease
--"Bizarre" promo with John Byner and Marc Weiner
--"Gallagher: The Bookkeeper" promo (premiered Saturday, June 22nd, but chyron says Friday)
--Bill Harris ID
--"July is Space Fantasy Month" promo
--July movies: Star Trek III, Murder in Space, Purple Rain, Conan the Destroyer, The Last Starfighter, The NeverEnding Story, The Pope of Greenwich Village, and Joy of Sex (with Michelle Meyrink!)
--Tonight tease
--Open, Showtime Original Comedy Presentation
--Mature audiences disclaimer
--About four-and-a-half minutes of "The Rick and Bob Report," with Rick Kellard and Bob Comfort, music by Leo Kottke. The opening bit has the guys receiving "The Oscar Homolka Life Achievement Award" before a bandstand filled with their fans. Tape runs out as seen, right at the end of the gag.
And NO, other YouTubers, you may NOT hijack this video for your own channels--I'd prefer the views stay right here, thanks!
