Would that be D.C. Follies
, the Sid & Marty Krofft answer to Spitting Image? Fred Willard played the bartender.
This was on TV - possibly Comedy Central - back during George H. W. Bush's term in office, so the early 90s. I have no idea what it was called and I only remember bits of it. It had both humans and puppets; it seemed to center around a bar. The scene I remember had the Bush puppet entering the bar and being accosted by the Freddy Krueger puppet, and the human bartender had to rush in and save him. I remember this of the dialogue:
Bartender: Freddy, no! You can't kill him! He's the President!
Freddy: *confused* I didn't vote for him!
Bartender: But if you kill him, then DAN QUAYLE will be President!
Freddy: Augh! *releases Bush immediately*
I was in my very early teens when it aired and I thought it was incredibly funny, but because I only started watching it halfway through, I never did find out what it was called or who the human bartender was played by. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
