Own A Piece Of The Titanic, Sorta.

Miscellaneous TV

When one thinks of sharp timing, creative formats, and comedic genius in the world of late night entertainment, a few names come to mind. Magic Johnson, Pat Sajack, Alan Thicke, and of course Chevy Chase. Now, some of our readers may be too young to remember a time when Chevy Chase was said by some to have been considered funny. Reagan was in office, George Clooney was already a movie star, and The Snorks weren’t yet in rerun. Yes, there was a time when Chevy Chase was considered comedic gold – there was also a time when public hangings were considered family fun…so yeah….

Anyways, one of the more public failures was “The Chevy Chase Show” in 1993. Actually, when I say 1993 it could imply a full year, when in actuality it only aired for five weeks before the network shut it down. Even “The Magic Hour” lasted nine weeks. Apparently though, five weeks was long enough to order embroidered jackets for “The Chevy Chase Show” cast and crew. After 13 years, one such crew member is coming to terms with the fact that his grandchildren will have no interest in ownership of a Chevy Chase Show crew jacket, and has decided to put it up for sale on Ebay.

Apparently the jacket is lined with as much dead weight as the show, as shipping for the item is a $25 flat rate. Shipping aside, I am quite tempted to actually own a piece of craptastic television history.

Stacyrocks,

They dont want to sell it for $100. They want to begin the bidding war at $100.

I really am almost tempted,

100 bucks? That’s a disgrace.

I remember that show. and it was beyond awful; I can’t believe that it lasted even 5 weeks.

OK, ok. So Madeyoulaugh made me drop the shipping cost. Now you all want me to drop the selling price. Well, sorry, but there must be someone out there who just HAS to have it. My thoughts go to the venerable Chevy Chase Museum, or the future Chevy Chase Museum, and its need for exhibits (or at least gift shop items). It’s a seven day auction — patience. Oh, and I can sell you a basketball hoop — not the one from the show, but the jacket did pass under this one on the way out of the garage.

Is it reversible? Because the color of that lining is to die for.
