Pat Paulsen returns to the fold along with guests Peter Lawford and
songwriter-singer Mac Davis.
Paulsen delivers a silly paper on a "look at the 70s," and frolics with Peter
Lawford and Sally Struthers
in a "Little Miss Muffett" takeoff.
Some laughs come out of a loan company sketch with Lawford playing a vice
president asking for collateral.
Mac Davis, an amiable fellow, uses bits of his creations like "Put a Bar in My
Car".
Sally Struthers imitates Richard Burton reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and
regular Spencer Quinn does
commercials "to show the medium for what it is."

after the leader's bright remarks.
