Lampooning everything from cookingshows to public service announcements, this fast paced comedydeftly assaults the medium.   Editor's Note This wacky 1970s time capsule is notable for its format, themes, and no-holds-barred parodies of network television--news reports, commercials, and sitcoms. THE GROOVE TUBE probably takes a cue from British comedy troupes like Monty Python. A raunchy precursor to films like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, as well as television sketch comedy from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE to THE KIDS IN THE HALL, THE GROOVE TUBE is also notable for early appearances from Chevy Chase and Richard Belzer. The Groove Tube's real attractions are its acute observations of the details of television, and its capturing of the zeitgeist to perfection.   Features Region 1 Audio: (unspecified) - English Additional Release Material: Trailers: Theatrical Trailer Interactive Features: Scene Access   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Henstooth Release Date: 5/30/2000 Running Time: 74 minutes Original Release Date: 1974 Catalog ID: 4062 UPC: 00759731406222 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Video: Color   Cast & Crew Ken Shapiro Chevy Chase Richard Belzer Ken Shapiro - Director    Related Videos 500 Days of Summer All About Steve Hangover Taking Woodstock
