I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!

Half a century later and still a relevant sentiment. Now one can hardly read plaintext online without "agreeing" to be tracked in perpetuity.

I've loved this show since I first say it on Kentucky Educational TV oh so long ago when I got my first TV. Would watch this and then Monty Python right after.

What was the reaction like at the time? I saw it first in the 80s and it was relegated to a very late night slot on Irish national tv where art house stuff usually played.
