Here Come the Seventies was a CBC Radio comedy show that was broadcast as part of the Variety Tonight program. Despite the name - a deliberate take-off of Here Come the Seventies, a 1970s CTV television show - this show was broadcast for one season in the early 1980s. While it often focused on topical humour, its brand of often surreal and character-based confrontational humour presaged that of The Frantics, arguably its immediate comedic successors on CBC radio.
It starred Don Dickenson, Frank Daley, Kathy Gallant and Hugh Graham.
Famous quotes containing the word seventies:
“Women of my age in America are at the mercy of two powerful and antagonistic traditions. The first is the ultradomestic fifties with its powerful cult of motherhood; the other is the strident feminism of the seventies with its attempt to clone the male competitive model.... Only in America are these ideologies pushed to extremes.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
