D.C. Follies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

D.C. Follies was a syndicated situation comedy which aired from 1987-1989 and set in a Washington, D.C. bar, where bartender Fred Willard would welcome puppet caricatures of that day's politicians and celebrities. The humor tended to be on the satirical side, often taking potshots at politicians and the political process. In addition to the puppets, each episode brought a celebrity guest into the bar, with Martin Mull, Robin Leach, Bob Uecker, and Betty White appearing early on.

The show was similar to the British series Spitting Image, but nowhere near as successful, and was produced by Sid and Marty Krofft.
