The Tim Conway Comedy Hour
- The Tim Conway Comedy Hour
"The Tim Conway Comedy Hour" was a variety and sketch comedy show broadcast in the United States by CBS as part of its 1970 fall lineup.
"The Tim Conway Comedy Hour" was one of several attempts to develop a starring vehicle for Tim Conway, who had been very popular as a sidekick in "McHale's Navy" and in several Disney films but who had never had much success in developing an audience for programming in which he was the main star (see "Rango").
This program was no different. Despite Conway's best efforts, and those of the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and cast members such as Sally Struthers (soon to go on to fairly major stardom in the important supporting role of Gloria Bunker on the hit sitcom "All in the Family", this program was cancelled after 13 weeks (a fate which was to befall Conway so frequently that at one point "TV Guide" ran a picture of his car sporting a California vanity license plate reading "13 WKS").
