I thought the commercials were better than the TV show. Those days were so different than today. In many ways, of course. For instance, two of the commercials featured two frumpy old ladies in the lead roles; one selling dish washing liquid; the other selling mouthwash. What? No sexy young women? Two grandmotherly women instead. Gotta love the quaintness of a time when the reality of the Vietnam War, Hippies, Assassinations, Race Riots, Psychedelic Drugs, Long Hair and the Cold War made the utter escapist absurdities so precious and counterbalancing!!
This is a kinescope film version in monochrome. It was sent to ABC stations that still couldn't afford a color telecaster. They were known in the industry as "bicycle prints", usually 16 mm films. Also, I noticed that the Filmways "globe" logo was lopped off at 27:55. It was a Filmways presentation in association with Phyllis Diller's own company, Phi-Dan productions.
Phyllis unfortunately comes off as a Lucy wanna be... But with Lucy there were varying shades of Gray to her performance. Not so with Phyllis. Every line is delivered a la stand-up.
If Ralph Levy were any kind of director he would have stopped the shoot and instructed Phyllis to stop overacting and stop shouting her lines. She was awful. The show goes rapidly downhill after Vic Mizzy's opening theme.

Love, love, love the music! Composed by Vic Mizzy, who also wrote for the Addams Family and Green Acres.
He also did some music for The Beverly Hillbillies.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've never laughed so hard -- had to stop the show over and over again to catch my breath!
Back in the days when there were a MINIMUM of commercial ads!!
THIS IS ONE FUNNY ASS SHOW. I ALWAYS LOVED PHYLISS DILLER
In that clip of American Bandstand, we see Charlie O'Donnell pitching back to Dick Clark.

This show was originally titled, "The Pruitts of Southampton."
And the music was Phylis singing and it was great!

"My Sister-In-Law Phyllis", originally telecast on March 17, 1967.
I looked it up on TH-cam it did not show that television program . Could be that it on other social

Have a lark today. Awesome commercial, have a cigarette.
You could drive one too.
Okay, I'm not a smoker, but even if I was, why on earth would anyone wanna inhale charcoal granules?I like the Lone Ranger music,tho!
They were part of the filter, you didn't inhale them.
Richard Deacon dated my uncle.
I thought the show was in color.And,Mr.Baldwin makes me think of The Boss on The Roamin Catholic.

That was truly horrible.

Anyone know if the video tape "glitches" are on purpose or it's just a coincidence that jokes are "short-circuited"?

Phyllis Diller knew the show was sagging so she pulled out all the stops.
