My dad went to high school with Jack Burns. In fact, in one class he sat next to him and said Jack was always cracking him up. So he watched the show regularly.
Avery Schreiber was my hero. He walked on stage one night when I was performing and I got to do a scene with him. I was scared out of my mind, but breathed and as your dad would say, "Just go for the agreement," so I followed his lead. I think we were funny, but I also think I blacked from nerves. ;-) He was a brilliant man in many ways. Thanks for posting these.
Avery and Jack - the best...and been a huge fan of Avery through the years! Josh, thanks for these...could watch these shows over and over...and Avery's Match Game days are my all time faves...
It went like this: Burns: [Asks Avery any question requiring yes or no reply] [The next sequence were spoken in rapid succession] Avery: Yeah [Normal Voice] Burns: Huh? Avery: Yeah [LOUDER] Burns: Huh? Avery: Yeah [LOUDER] Burns: Huh? Avery: YEAH!!! [LOUDEST] [Ending with an Avery slightly perturbed Yeah reply which was loudly spoken]
+Da Flyboys I saw it first in another show where he did it to a kid. The joke definitely comes from a time where computers were still these giant gadgets that scientists used. Of course, in 1977, the Apple II changed everything.
Hmm....so this show aired during the '70s? Lucky or me, this is a first time viewing, because unluckily in Utah I don't remember seeing this show, then again the LDS Church probably had some decision making as to letting the show air or not.
Hello! I am currently teaching teenagers how to do mime. One of our workshops is on faces. I remembered loving Avery and his computer shtick when I was a kid. So, I have been looking all over for examples of it in order to show my teens. The computer bit in this is so short, do you have anything with a full computer routine? Thank you! (and potentially thank you from a new generation wanting to learn from your Dad)

I remember watching this show when I was a kid. I always loved these guys. I would buy this series if it came out on dvd.
I just loved Avery Schrieber's computer noises ,as a kid in the seventies.

I’m glad Jack flourished after being on The Andy Griffith Show for such a short time.
This could’ve been a prime opportunity to have Ted Knight on screen with Jack Burns…just so people could hear the lack of difference.
RIP Jack Burns.
Jack Burns voiced one the 'Driver Test Dummies' Avery Schrieber starred in the movie 'Galaxina'
I Love to hear Jack Burns say Huh, Huh, Huh?..Oh I was looking forward to seeing their guest "The Doobie.Brothers"...
It went like this:
Burns: [Asks Avery any question requiring yes or no reply]
[The next sequence were spoken in rapid succession]
Avery: Yeah [Normal Voice]
Burns: Huh?
Avery: Yeah [LOUDER]
Burns: Huh?
Avery: Yeah [LOUDER]
Burns: Huh?
Avery: YEAH!!! [LOUDEST]
[Ending with an Avery slightly perturbed Yeah reply which was loudly spoken]
Thanks Josh for posting these videos!
I came here for the "Doobie Doobie" bit. Still stuck in my memory 48 years later.
Forgot about Schreiber's computer impersonation. Nice memories.

I would love to see the whole show. And put the series out on dvd.
classic TV at it's best
These great comedians repeated the computer skits at a Japanese gardens Dear park (Buena park or Canoga Park) TV show in 1972. As well.
RIP Jack.
Avery Schreiber was also in Robin Hood, Men in Tights.
I remember Avery fondly from my youth, I however, had forgot about Mr Burns...he hasn't aged well; and he never gets along with that Simpson fellow!
I loved "The B. S. Report" on this show.
This should've been a hit. I wonder what shows it was up against.
XKE It was a summer time show on CBS.
1:20-1:23 - The trademark of their comic dialogue was the bouncy, rapid "HuhYeahHuhYeahHuhYeahHuh" between the two.
Makes me laugh like a kid again.

I wonder if Avery was the inspiration for r2d2.
This was a great show.
I remember his uh uh uh from the Warren days on the Andy Griffith show.
He was also great on "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home."
He was like the perfect NRA Nixon voter, huh? huh? huh? huh?
Premiered June 30 1973
Huh? Yeah! Huh? Yeah? Huh? YEAH!!!
Excuse me..but? This series was on ABC TV Saturday nights.
Worst show ever.
