Allen was pretty vocal that all of his TV work prior to 1969 was terrible; the only stuff here that would legitimately be his work (versus the sub-par variety show material shown here) is his opening monologue, which is classic Allen stand-up from this period, albeit sanitized for TV.
Also, Buckley…Christ, what an asshole. His response to ‘Do you think Miniskirts are in bad taste?’ was a skeevy pickup line that may or may not have also been an insult. 50 years in the future and I want to punch him.
