 So once a month, probably most times the first Sunday of the month, I will be doing a new blog post. I know I said I wasn't going to do timelines anymore, but in some cases that format still makes sense, so this month is a timeline.   I've been meaning to do a Father Guido Sarducci timeline for years, but never got around to it.  But recently I have watched every episode of the 70s SNL, and so it sparked in me not only the need to do this timeline, but to come back to writing the blog altogether.   So here we go.   Introduction by TVCU Crewsie Hugh H. Davis:   Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello) Overview: Don Novello created the irreverent priest character, who also was featured in cartoons by Dave Sheridan and Fred Schrier, in the 1970s, launching him on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In .
