Show WEST VALLEY VIEW 4 r Meanwhile, Over Here The purpose of it? To allow those of us who are turned off by certain sion faces and characters, an opportunity to enjoy a mo- ment of slapstick satisfaction by watching a pie splatter on the face of the program host, who commercial parade as well as the deteriorating quality of most network programming, you can convert to PBS viewing or invite commercial-less cable TV into your home as a growing number of people are doing. But as long as I give in to the desire to watch at least some conventional TV, with all of its e ads, Ill reserve the right to sit there in the midst of them and daydream about what a charge Id get out of pulling a Tonight Show number on the face of a hard-selle- r who is loud, obnox-io- s and insulting to the point where I wouldnt have his advertised product if he gave it to me. apparently. Because the skit helped vent some of the frustrations caused by the hollow, condescending and utterly ridiculous TV commercials Ive seen, I loved it, though I of course wish it were really the guy on the commercial instead of Car-so- n who got half-doze- televi- for the occasion was disguised as a TV commercial figure. One whose delivery and countenance would be likely, it seems, to get on the nerves of just about any TV viewer. And I cant help but feel a perhaps bizarre element of Im not terribly fond of TV commercials in general, and certainly some, like the one featured in that Tonight Show" farce, get to me more than others. tough-to-tak- We who harbor hatred of some (make that many) TV ads have a choice, of course, when it comes to dealing with the glut of bad ones that invade our boob tube airwaves. You can turn the volume down while the nauseating variety is on (which Ive been known to do on occasion), switch over to another channel or just sit through the 30 or ordeal until the program youre watching comes back on the air. Or, if youre really fed up with the Commercials, of course, certainly dont monopolize the TV stuff that Id like to greet with a banana cream or lemon meringue pie. Sometimes, in fact, the screen will serve up program faces and personalities that equal or exceed the garbage ads in terms of intolerability.

When he realizes that hes on camera, the fool who comes across as the picture of pomposity takes off his glasses and prepares to ask us if were suffering from arthritis or bursitis or whatever. But before he can advise us to use his product as a remedy or see our doctor if the symptoms are more serious than those which hes mentioned, Ed McMahon or another of Carsons sidekicks lets him have it with a pie. A big one, topped with a gracious amount of whipped cream, Johnny Carson, one of the great comic entertainers of our time, has, on at least one occasion that I remember, subjected himself to an onslaught of piethrowing during one of his zany skits on The Tonight Show.
