Jean Shepherd - "Shepherd's Pie"

Description

Opening monologue from an episode of "Shepherd's Pie" (1977-1978), which was broadcast on New Jersey Public Television. Basically a video version of the type of opening monologue Shep would have done on his WOR radio show (1955-1977). Is it me, or does Shep seem uncomfortable, "out of his element" (like a fish out of water) on TV? Radio was the man's medium, in my humble opinion, and I think he knew it.
