The Bickersons
Two people in a bed, arguing, for fifteen years.
The Bickersons is pure radio — a sketch that consists entirely of two voices in the dark, which is precisely what television could not reproduce. Ameche and Langford took the characters into television variety spots in the fifties and the effect was never the same, because seeing the bedroom removed the listener from it. It belongs here as the counter-example: the property that could not cross.
