Seeking a compatible series to insert in its Sunday evening lineup after its hit ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' show, ABC aired ''Tim Conway's Funny America'' in the summer of 1990. Starring Tim Conway, ''Tim Conway's Funny America'' borrowed heavily from the format of the long-running ''Candid Camera'' show, with Conway traveling around the United States in various disguises and playing practical jokes on unsuspecting people while hidden cameras filmed their reactions. Among the shows gags were Conway pretending to be an old man crossing a street, an eccentric employee of a pet-grooming salon, a member of the "fashion police" in a motorcycle policemans uniform ticketing passersby on the street for their attire, a clumsy teppanyaki chef in a Japanese restaurant, and an aerobics class leader – the latter in the guise of his character "Dorf," a dark-haired man with a normal-sized head, body, and arms, but extremely short legs and an odd foreign accent. Conway presented the resulting videos to a studio audience.〔〔
Despite his success as a member of the cast of the situation comedy ''McHale's Navy'' from 1962 to 1966 and in two 1964 theatrical films spun off from the series, ''McHale's Navy'' and ''McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force'', as well as his popularity during several years as a regular on ''The Carol Burnett Show'' in the 1970s, Tim Conway had found no success in starring in a television show of his own. His situation comedies ''Rango'' in 1967, ''The Tim Conway Show'' in 1970, and ''Ace Crawford, Private Eye'' in 1983 had all been cancelled after short runs, as had two comedy-variety series, ''The Tim Conway Comedy Hour'' in the fall of 1970 and ''The Tim Conway Show'' in 1980-1981. Conway had no better luck with ''Tim Conways Funny America'', which was cancelled after only a few weeks on the air.〔〔
''Tim Conways Funny America'' aired at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday throughout its brief run.〔
