I LOVED watching Dr. Scott. he was as fucking hoot. I think he was on KDOC (Channel 56) out in Los Angeles. He'd vacillate between being a rather insightful preacher/historian to a raving lunatic. He'd wear a different hat every day of the week, scream about the fact that not enough people had signed up to become "kings houses" or acquired "kings dishes" (satellite dishes), play with his mechanical monkey, and generally act insane, He would torment the viewers by playing the same song "I want to know..." over and over until enough people called in.
Here are some of the vids....they're fucking great:
