In the 1950's, an era when TV comedy consisted of relocated radio sitcoms and vaudeville routines, Ernie Kovacs pioneered the anarchic style now familiar to viewers of programs like ``Saturday Night Live.'' He was also one of the first and most creative users of electronic special effects. Come watch five hours of Ernie at his best.
