Fernwood 2 Night (1977) Complete Archive Collection

Fernwood 2 Night was satirical in tone and set in the fictional small town of Fernwood, Ohio like Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, in which Barth Gimble was a recurring supporting character. The show parodied actual late-night talk shows and the sort of fare one might expect from locally produced small-town midwestern American television programming.
 
After one summer season of Fernwood 2 Night, the producers revamped the show in 1978 as America 2-Night. In this second version, the show relocated to Southern California (specifically, the fictional city of "Alta Coma") and was broadcast nationally on the fictional UBS Network. The change to a Southern California setting made it more plausible for real-life celebrities to appear on the program as themselves.
