<p>[QUOTE="reverenddejesus, post: 211771, member: 34399"]Such a loss to cultural history that most of these shows are gone from the archives. Mel Brooks said that he told Sid Caesar this was the reason he should get out of TV and into movies. Apparently, Sid was days away from going to Hollywood and was made an offer he couldn't refuse by the network. Imagine how large Sid Caesar would loom in the cultural imagination if we still had access to all his work.[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
