that was a great show. Way before it's time.
Buck Henry did a lot of their writing before his stint on SNL, and they had the great songs by Tom Lehrer.
He put out an album called "That Was The Year That Was" that had his TW3 (remember, they called the show "TW3"?) songs on it. They were unbelieveably clever.
