Super Dave was spun off from the sketch comedy series Bizarre, which featured Bob Einstein in recurring roles, including Super Dave.

Einstein then regularly played the character on the short-lived 1976 variety show Van Dyke and Company starring Dick Van Dyke.

0.030 min

Super Dave introduces "Sweeps week", and the network is trying to boost ratings by having Super talk to attractive women in the audience. A young man, Alistair Wilson, when asked to throw it to Mike Walden when Super leaves, instead drags it out by lip-synching to Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs". Super and Fuji give a tour of the new "Storybookland" area of the compound, where families can come visit and re-enact their favourite children's stories. Super and Fuji re-enact the three little pigs, where Super plays the pig and Fuji plays the big bad wolf.
