Thanks for the suggestions, IMDB hasn't helped. I think it is too old.
Or maybe it was never released on vhs or dvd, so IMDB doesn't know
about it.

As for old TV guides, it is too old. At the time I was in southern
Oregon, and there was no cable. I only remember lying on the floor in a
girlfriend's house in front of her TV set, howling with laughter. (She
didn't understand. Part of the reason for the end of the relationship.)

I'll keep poking around. It exists, so I should be able to find it
eventually.
