Prime Time / American Raspberry / USA / 1977
Kentucky Fried Movie as counterculture mouthpiece. Director Swirnoff didn’t rip off the Zucker Brothers, however, he had used the format a year prior to them with his Tunnelvision. Prime Time is somewhat of a continuation of the central themes in Tunnelvision, this time with an unknown renegade organization replacing America’s beloved prime time programming with anti-establishment comedy skits. Naturally, the President and his cabinet assume the nation’s moral fiber is being assaulted by the Russians and plan on taking the necessary actions. The skits range from the brilliantly subversive to the unnecessarily sophomoric, but Prime Time hits more than it misses. It all seems spectacularly dated now (references to Biafra and Charles Whitman will go over most modern viewers’ heads) but if you have a working knowledge of pre-1980 politics and culture you’ll find that this film far outshines its more mainstream fellows.
