He directed the first and final episodes (and much in between) of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Cosby Show. His show business career started on I Love Lucy. He directed the pilots for The Bob Newhart Show and Golden Girls, to name only two. This week, we talk about his storied career and what makes a good director. Where’s the vinyl? Well, he directed the first million-album-selling comedian in the first episode of one of the greatest sitcoms ever. So, there it is.

Cole Stratton weirds it up this week with one of my new favorite comedy albums. Albert Brooks again bends the concept of the comedy record back when it was a medium you could still do that with and confuse people to their delight. It ends with a track where you get to perform a scripted sketch with Albert “on stage.” Thanks again to Cole for introducing us to this.
