D.C. Follies

·1987 ·1 Season ·Comedy

D.C. Follies, a quirky sitcom that ran from 1987 to 1989, is set in a lively Washington, D.C. bar where bartender Fred Willard interacts with puppet caricatures of prominent politicians and celebrities. The show’s satirical edge pokes fun at the political landscape, with Willard as the sole live actor, while each episode features a notable guest star, including Martin Mull, Robin Leach, and Betty White. Memorable moments include Robert Englund appearing as Freddy Krueger and Mike Tyson confronting his puppet likeness. Inspired by the British series Spitting Image, this Sid and Marty Krofft production struggled to find a consistent audience due to its erratic airing schedule.
