Here Come the Seventies (radio show)

Here Come the Seventies (radio show)

"Here Come the Seventies" was a CBC Radio comedy show that that was broadcast as part of the "Variety Tonight" program. Despite the name - a deliberate take-off of "Here Come the Seventies", a 1970s CTV television show - this show was broadcast for one season in the early 1980s. While it often focused on topical humour, its brand of often surreal and character-based confrontational humour presaged that of The Frantics, arguably its immediate comedic successors on CBC radio.

It starred Don Dickenson, Frank Daley, Kathy Gallant and Hugh Graham.
