A screenshot of the show
It's Not My Problem! was a comedy show on television, apparently a big hit with a diverse audience. Many of Old Detroit's residents were fans of the show, including store owners, powerful executives, violent street hoodlums, and cops.[1]
The program centered around Bixby Snyder, a drunken, crass, scruffy, middle-aged man in glasses, who got into a variety of unusual, unlikely, slapstick situations, more often than not including one or more women of questionable moral standing. Bixby was generally offered an incredibly lucky or rewarding prize, to which he invariably laughed hoarsely and ejaculated his catchphrase: "I'd buy that for a dollar!"[1]
A year later, the show was canceled, following Bixby's arrest.[2] However, the program would eventually be broadcast again.[3]
