On March 5, 1977, George Carlin's standup concert at the University of Southern California became the first of his thus-far 12 HBO specials.

This performance showcases his unique role as America's first counter-culture comedian, and his distinct ability to hold society's hypocrisies and idiocies up to the light.

The Routines include: "Old Folks & Kids," "Monopoly," "Dogs & Cats #1," "Newscast #1," "Names," "Supermarkets," and "Words."
