This program is a remake of the same "prison of the future" sketch done with Ernie Kovacs on 25 January 1959, though that time it was cast in 1970, and here it's upped to 1985 .That was a videotaped one however, so don't look for it in the syndication package.
The full title of the skit is "A Day In Claremont Prison"; or, "Give Me A Home Where The Untouchables Roam".
