Featured review
So strange and surreal...it's pretty hard to explain!
"Chun King Chow Mein Hour" is one of the strangest, if not the strangest, TV specials of all time. It's very surreal and bizarre...and essentially is one giant strange commercial for Chun King products...nasty Chinese-ish food that came in cans or frozen TV dinners. But it follows no known format...and just is a strange stream of consciousness.
FIrst off, it took a while until the show started and the star, Stan Freberg, eventually walks into a giant TV set and the show begins. Following this, there are some odd celebrity cameos, a parody of the "Mitch Miller Show", a strange celebration of Chinese New Year, a panel show, a long (and historically incorrect) cartoon about the purchase of Manhattan in the 17th century, a puppet, and a show about flower arranging with heavy Mike Mazurki. It's all very frenetic and odd....and I think it best you just go to YouTube to find it and see it for yourself.
