        Well, your family may well be justified in declaring you crazy,
but Imogene Coca did appear in 32 episodes of the sit-com *Grindl* between
September 1963 and September 1964.  She played a maid working for a temp
service, her boss played by James Milhollin;  created by David Swift,
produced by Harry Ackerman and Winston O'Keefe.  Three years later Coca
also starred in the sit-com *It's about Time,* which can be best described
as a live-action *Flintstones* meets *I Dream of Genie.*
 
        Coca and Caesar began their network television careers with
*Admiral Broadway Revue* in 1949 (broadcast simultaneously by NBC and
DuMont), which would, by the next year, evolve into *Your Show of Shows.*

        The universe was once conceived almost as a vast preserve, landscaped
  for heroes, plotted to provide them the appropriate adventures.   The rules
  were known and respected, the adversaries honorable, the oracles articulate
  and precise as the directives of a six-lane parkway.  Errors of weakness or
  vanity  led,  with  measured  momentum,  to  the  tragedy  which   resolved
  everything.  Today, the rules are ambiguous, the adversary is  concealed in
  aliases, the oracles broadcast a babble of contradictions.
 
                                 --- Maya Deren, from her notes for *At Land*
