"This is a dream. You're dreaming that someone's got their hand over your mouth and it's hard to breathe and you can't wake up, can you? Can you? Now, you had a dream about a murder. And it felt like it was real. It's only a nightmare. You don't want every moment of your life to be a big screaming nightmare do you, Danny? Better wake up."

-Jack Parnell (Vince Vaughn) "Domestic Disturbance" (2001).

Vincent Price gets mean.

The role as Beautiful Assistant in this sketch was apparently Uncle Deadly's TV debut. Jack Parnell conducted the orchestra that provided the music for The Muppet Show.

Composite: WHBQ, WMPS, WDIA Memphis | 1972

This runs almost 24 minutes and may be somewhat confusing. Listen carefully because this is presented as one or two breaks from one station, then flips to another for a few breaks, etc.

George Klein, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Spring, 1973
