Episode 40 - The Steve of Dave Block

There was a plan to eventually spin Isaac Hayes and Louis Gusset Jr off into their own show.

There is a lot of nice commentary on social issues and the differences between now and then (now being 1976, then being 1955).

Some cool choices by the director here, especially the shot with the jackboots.
