It's the "morning drive" in Los Angeles and (David) Lewis and (Larry) Clark discover they have it easy. Dave is a happily married man while his partner, Dave, is a man-about-town, believing he is the ultimate ladies man. Goldie Hawn shows the talent that led to Laugh-In and Billy DeWolfe shines as fussy station manager Roland B. Hutton Jr.
Given its pedigree of executive producers Sheldon Leonard and Carl Reiner, it becomes easy to draw parallels between Good Morning, World and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Here, half the program focuses on what happens at the radio station (as opposed to a TV station of Dick Van Dyke) with the other half focusing on their home lives. The writing is brisk and slick, and the "Nude Ranch" episode stands out as a defining episode, not to mention cutting edge for the mid '60s! |
