I never heard of this show, but it sounds right up my alley. Also, it sounds like a precursor to "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", which has suddenly became one of the most over-played movies on standard cable...

Didn't Henry Polic II play Dracula on "Monster Squad"? He was also the Scarecrow on BTAS (but not TNBA, that was Jeffery Combs).

I remember the opening pictures from this show but that is it. I wonder how it holds up?

TV Land use to air this.

I loved "When Things Were Rotten" when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in nearly 40 years, but I can still remember the damn theme song. Nice to see it actually get a DVD release, I'm not sure if it would hold up for me today though (kinda doubting it)

Back when it was new I loved the show

I never noticed how corney it was until recently

It was one I remember watching, the theme song still sticks in my head. Haven't seen it since the original airings in the early 70s.

Yep, i too remember this and liked it, i'm looking forward to the release.

Haven't seen this show since it's original network run. Mel, along with Buck Henry also created Get Smart.
