He put down the performance. Said he was stoned at the time.

I only remember a cameo from that episode, a boy genius and his robot. Which shows how my mind ran when I was a child.

Has anyone here seen "The Price of Tomatoes"? I only read the reprinted screenplay and guessed how Faulk played it.

It's not terrible. I remember a gap between what it was trying to do — and it does get points for ambition — and what actually got broadcast.

Three words: "Dead of Night."

And, yes, "Amazing Stories" tackled scripts that nobody else would have touched
. . . and it was cancelled.

"I'd like to see more fairy stories about the police."

Took the collected Pogo out of the library. I don't think it would be as successful today; it was made to linger over, and most people wouldn't take the time.

A fictionalized story of Sun Ra & his Arkestra. Fantasy and talent overcoming oppression.

They're similar to Python in their erudition, large stores of trivia, and love of TV. Like Python, they have a share of dark humor. "But Senator, Baby, she was starvlng!" "Young man, that's her trip!" A bit more angry than Python.
I've been startled by their intuition. In a minor album, "The Case of the Missing…

Me: I wish it wasn't so educational.
A Dear Friend: I don't mind it being educational — I just wish it had more of a plot.

The version of the "Enchanted Kingdom" sketch on the Previous Record is much superior to its origin on the German show. The ending is tighter, and one can make up one's own scenery.

That approach would mean we could view it as he wants to see it, without interference from editors or critics.
