Today, we're starting a new feature, Insight Sundays.
We've posted episodes of this series previously, but now, the time is right to showcase the acclaimed anthology series on a more regular basis.
First up: Carol Burnett & Walter Matthau followed up their feature film, "Pete & Tillie", with "This Side of Eden". Lan O'Kun's script has earth's 1st couple contemplating what has happened to their children, Cain & Abel. Ed Asner plays God.
Not exactly sure when this aired in 1977, but Burnett, we know, was nearing the end of her variety show, and Asner was in the midst of transitioning from The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Lou Grant.
Father Ellwood Kieser, the series' executive producer, attracted plenty of A-list talent in both writers & actors over the course of 23 seasons. In fact, Kieser had a deal all but in place with NBC to air this episode as a primetime special, but it didn't happen. Not for lack of trying, though.
Insight Sundays will appear every two weeks. Some episodes will also appear over at Saturday Morning Archives based on content.
