This movie predates SNL by a year. Does being first make you the best? No, obviously not. However, give credit where credit is due. Groove Tube was radical, obnoxious, annoying and hilarious in the 70s. If you're under 30, don't waste your time with this one. ***

A series of shorts spoofing dumb TV shows, Groove Tube hits and misses a lot. Overall, I do really like this movie. Unfortunately, a couple of the segments are totally boring. A few really great clips make up for this. A predecessor to such classics like Kentucky Fried Movie.

Original, raunchy and usually funny collection of television-related comedy skits. Brought to you by Ken Shapiro, who returned with the pretty much unfunny Modern Problems(1981) and then apparently disappeared from the entertainment scene altogether. Heavily influenced later comedies including Kentucky Fried Movie.
