Original Air Date: January 23, 1962
Starring: Ernie Kovacs
Directed by: Joe Behar, Ernie Kovacs

Synopsis: The pioneer of television comedy and special effects presents a series of skits and gags in his own inimitable style.

Featured Feline: In one segment a more serious piece is offered, artistically set to Béla Bartók’s piece Concerto for Orchestra. The setting is a city street with a newspaper salesman standing under a street light at night. Beside him is a long-haired tabby cat.

The man pets the cat and then gives him a tin of sardines.

The cat even gets an extreme close up.

Eventually the scene switches to daytime and the cat is only seen once more.

Final Mewsings: Cats are the perfect illustration for good music.

Many thanks to Ted Davis for letting us know about the cat in this episode!
