Early memories of TV where you can't identify the program

Anyone remember a commercial where someone pops a balloon and money comes out? It seems like this was around 1977.

Anyone remember an old movie about auto racing? About 25 years ago, I stumbled upon a small local TV station airing this movie. The movie was clearly old - maybe 1940s or 1950s - but it was in color. It took place in Europe or somewhere. I remember it had both men and women as race car drivers.

Also, I remember a play (not a movie) being shown on PBS in the early '80s. It took place around 1910, and the thing I remember is that the kid in the play peed his pants.

I thought of another one. In the early 1980s, there was some variety show or something where a woman was standing on a ledge and kept saying, "Do something, do something." For the life of me, I can't identify the show.

I thought of another good one. Around 1978-79, I remember seeing some show with a weird musical performance. It had a man singing, surrounded by all these weird creatures that looked like they might have been identical cardboard cutouts. It looked like something from the Lawrence Welk Show, only more humorous. I think it might have been a special for Johnny Carson or some other celebrity.
