About

You can watch Super Dave (1987) for free on Hoopla.

Super Dave is a Canadian/American variety show starring and hosted by the fictional character Super Dave Osborne. It ran from 1987 to 1991 on Showtime in the US and the Global Television Network in Canada. Super Dave was spun off from the sketch comedy series Bizarre, which featured Bob Einstein in recurring roles, including Super Dave. Super Dave made his first appearance on the 1972 TV series The John Byner Comedy Hour. Einstein then regularly played the character on the short-lived 1976 variety show Van Dyke and Company starring Dick Van Dyke.

Witness the glorious failure of a daredevil who attempts impossible stunts only to meet spectacular, bone-crunching disaster. This slapstick spectacle finds endless comedy in the gap between grand ambition and total physical catastrophe.
