Description Inspired by Neil Simon's memories of television's "golden age" in the 1950s, when he was part of a comedy writing team that included Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart and Carl Reiner. Their
jokes and skits for Sid Caesar's fabled series, Your Show of Shows, are still regarded as some of the most inspired material ever written
for the medium.
