  • The wacky pharmacist (Mark Blankfield) has a video game installed in the lobby of his pharmacy. After the sketch, Andy Kaufman is supposed to introduce Pretenders. But, it didn't quite work out the way the script was written! (Should we be surprised?) LOL

    Why this never got resurrected after Seinfeld became popular I will never understand. Fridays was so good ...especially Drugs R Us!!!!

    Thank you for this channel! I have looked high and low for these old Fridays clips and it was awesome to watch them again. This was a great show that probably came out about 10 years too soon. Had it dropped around the time of "In Living Color" I truly believe it would have been a massive hit. I mention the show to people my age, and it is like we grew up in different timelines. Nobody seems to remember it for whatever reason. I personally love it.

    I recorded this particular sketch back in 1981, on one of my tape cassettes. Andy Kaufman was hosting this show, and the beginning before the pharmacist Andy was showing the audience his fiancee- a Jahovah Witness woman, I'm betting she told Andy to explain to the audience about the sketch , the video game one ,after many years its nice to see it again.

      @bassinbillRC5300 5 лет назад

      Yes that is Larry David who created Seinfeld getting the game started up and telling the pharmacist what the game is and give me his business card

      Not enough black people. This was Saturday Night Live if it were actually funny between 1980 and 1982 (see also: SCTV, the Canadian episodes).
