ERNIE KOVACS! Ye gods and little fishes, the guy was way ahead of his time.
Are you familiar with Kenny Everett? Seek out some of his work, and you'll find quite a few commonalities. I don't know if KE was consciously influenced by EK, but there's surely a hell of an echo in time if not.
Reminds me, I need to dig up the EK DVDs a friend gave me a while back, and get around to ripping them properly, so they can live on the house server and AirPort drives. (Yay HandBrake + advanced options pane!)
