	Movies - The Groove Tube

The Groove Tube (1974), written and produced by Ken Shapiro was a low-budget comedy film. It satirized television and the counterculture of the early 1970s. It starred Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase, and featured Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield in the film's opening scene. The news desk satire and its tagline Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow was later used by Chevy Chase for his signature on Saturday Night Live
.

Among the skits were The Dealers, a feature about a pair of urban drug dealers introduced by a wildly overdone, hip title segment, Koko the Clown featuring a jaded clown levelling with the kids, a public service announcement for venereal disease that covertly used a real penis, and a television cooking show featuring incompetent recipes.
