List of Super Dave Osborne Show episodes

The following is a list of Super Dave Osborne Show episodes. The Super Dave Osborne Show, also known as Super Dave, was Canadian/American sketch comedy variety show starring Bob Einstein as fictional stuntman Super Dave Osborne. It ran for five seasons for 97 episodes on Showtime in the US and the Global Television Network in Canada from 1987 to 1991, with each episode approximately 25 minutes long. Reruns started airing on Comedy Gold on September 6, 2011.

The show would be introduced by announcer Mike Walden using the lighted billboard sign, showing the guest stars and Super Dave's assistants (Fuji and/or Donald) who would be appearing on the show. Typically, after a scene with Super Dave elsewhere in the compound followed by live performances in the studio, an audience member would be asked to turn the show over to Mike, who sported a different outfit every episode. Super Dave, arriving on the compound in a special vehicle, would then either prepare to perform a stunt or give a tour of a new area in the compound. The show would end with the stunt going wrong or an accident happening to him during the tour, leaving the Super one gravely injured (with Mike sometimes asking him if he was all right), giving a farewell speech to the audience.

The first season of the Super Dave Osborne show was filmed at Glen Warren Studios, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the same studio where episodes of Bizarre were taped.

Super Dave is late for his new show but his car arrives performing handbrake turns. Super attempts to open his show with a question period. Ray Charles sings "They Can't Take That Away From Me". At the Super Dave Memorial Sports Arena, the Super Dave Slam Dunkers perform acrobatic slam dunks. Fuji helps Super Dave perform the "Ultimate Slam Dunk" using a hydraulic catapult that will raise him upright and shoot him into the air where he will catch the ball and slam dunk it.

The Super One gets hurt: "All right, we're stopping... no we're not." Instead of raising him upright, the catapult smashes him into the glass backboard. Later, while inspecting the controls, the entire hoop rig falls on him.

Super Dave! Super Dave! Are you all right?: "I'm bleeding internally, Mike, but I think I'll have a little gauze for dinner and then I'll be fine."
