How it feels

This is a short-lived American sitcom and sketch comedy show from 1982. It features quick, rapid-fire humor with absurd and nonsensical punchlines, following the style of a 1950s prank. The series was broadcast for only five episodes in the United States and later on the BBC.

What happens

No Soap, Radio is an American sitcom and sketch comedy that aired on ABC on Thursdays from April 15 until May 13, 1982. Five episodes were broadcast. The five episodes also appeared on the BBC, where the deletion of commercial breaks gave the show an even more rapid-fire look. The title is taken from a popular 1950s prank where "no soap radio" is given as a non-sequitur punchline to a joke. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
