Bizarre (1980)

Overview

A half hour sketch comedy show that is not politically correct (it was made in the early 1980's). It's not uncommon to see women in their underwear doing whatever is necessary to get a laugh. It showcased the talents of veteran performers John Byner (the host) and Bob Einstein as Super Dave Osbourne.Bizarre is a variety series hosted by John Byner, who performed along with an ensemble cast in a wide range of sketches that ranged from satirical looks at the topics of the day to politically incorrect sketches. This series also introduced the character Super Dave Osborne, a stuntman who performed a wide range of stunts for the audience that ended up going horribly wrong. There were two versions of the series filmed: an "uncensored" version that aired on Showtime with female frontal nudity and foul language and a censored version for CTV in Canada, which had the foul language bleeped out and the nude scenes reshot from a different angle or more clothing.
