The Abominable Showman, Episode 18

SHOW 18

Segment One: Cold Start

Before the opening credits roll, we see a little kid asking his dad, "if I eat all my broccoli and spinach, can I watch The 'Bominable Showman?"

Segment Two: NanceCo products

Nancy is now using her air time to plug her NanceCo products, like the Fancy Nancy Pinto Beans and the Lady Nance Adjustable Razor

Segment Three: "Complete Control"

Complete Control is the East German MTV version of Remote Control, hosted by Ken Oberfuehrer. The winners receive fabulous prizes, and those achieving low scores are sterilized. Sample categories:

Gilligan Gynecology. Learn the principles of obstetrics the fun way, aboard the S.S. Minnow.
Squad or Squid? Ken reads an Italian word, and the contestants must determine if it is a squid recipe or a bad guy from the old TV show "M-Squad"

Segment Four: "Flags of Many Lands"

Consultants redesign all the world's flags to more accurately reflect each country's personality. Canada's is blank.

Segment Five: Wisconsin Corner

Van Vandervanden is eating a McBrat from a Wisconsin McDonald's, and gives us a tour of the state's highlights.

Wisconites have complained there's just not enough room to store their cheese, so Van tracks down a cheese storage facility.
Van's friend, Sam Rutkowski, has changed the name of his show from the Fishing Polack to The Fishing Pole because somebody told him it was some kind of joke.
Wisconsin gas stations advertise "Diesel, Gas, Cheese"

Segment Six: New Kiddie Show Auditions

Both Captain Somebody and Uncle Stupid have left the network, and Nancy has to fill an hour of dead morning time. She receives some disappointing kiddie show pilots:

The Merry Racketeers. Produced by the mob, to groom the racketeers of tomorrow

Cy Sperling's "Hair Klubhouse", "because you're never too young to start worrying about losing your hair" Segment Seven: The News

Segment Eight: Lorenzo's World of Magic

Segment Nine: NanceCo's Market research

Nancy's research team compares the average Abominable Showman viewer to the average non-viewer. The viewer, on the average, lives in a bush behind Stuckey's, owns a Bowie Knife, and earns his living from returning deposit bottles. The last court appearance of the non-viewer was in traffic court, for the viewer, it was at Nuremburg. The only thing they have in common is that they believe Buster Poindexter is a dork.
