A retrospective on the specials of Russell's first election year, with a 1988 introduction by Russell.  The TV reception was bad that night, so the videotape fades in and out, but what remains isn't that funny.  There's some irony, from the vantage point of  '17 even more than '88, about hearing names like Reagan and Dole, Carter and Mondale, but "Mo" Udall is no longer much of a name-check.
