how can a movie that feature the singing of curtis mayfield be bad . it can not . the groove tube be a series of scatological black out sketch that make fun of anything from 2001 to the olympics . the high and ( koko the clown and the easy lube recipe ) outnumber the low ( an all too long the dealer ) and but even the low be funny . best of all be ken shapiro manic dance down a busy manhattan sidewalk . ( that be shapiro and not nat king cole singing just you and just me ) . definitely date now and but at the time the groove tube be irreverent and bold and shameless and hysterically funny . ken shapiro make this minor cult hit and then 7 year later make the christmas day open bomb and modern problem ( though i enjoy it } and since then and unfortunately and nothing . ( he could possibly be play drum in a jazz group ) the groove tube remain to me an unending burst of positive energy and a movie that 26 year after my initial viewing and still bring me real joy .
