Going to live on a farm . . .

Did he kidnap Rod?

The one where A Certain Person is born?

No hills.

Yes, Bluebottle.

"_Rotating_ knives, yes."

Try _The Moon By Night_. It criticizes the Austins as a late-1950s family, a sexist clique, and yet finds good aspects to them.

Hollywood wastes its treasures.

"Primary" seems an impartial documentary. It centers on Kennedy, but it isn't unsympathetic to Humphrey. The brief stretch of him talking to farmers about what is important to them shows an involved, credible candidate.

This sort of introspection is why we need coverage of "The Twilight Zone," even the bad late episodes. Even at its worst, the show digs into our ways of thinking about the world.

"Well-liked" — does that mean *popular* or *good*?

But setting a character up in such a way is a conceit, not drama. Real drama has protagonists with three dimensions, who breathe apart from the play's dialectic. If you will think of "A Doll's House": Torvald represents the forces of repressive anti-feminism, but he is also a person. He acts as he does not to show how…

"Leaf by Niggle."

I don't like it. There is *a* woman and *a* son, and everything Lewis says or does is to be taught a lesson.

Chapman can go back for second takes, and he reads, so memorization isn't the problem it is for TV. Idle can do some of the wordplay which won't go for a visual medium. And Cleese's verbal performances are more varied than his physical ones.

The Fairy Tale sketch is better on "Matching Tie & Handkerchief." It doesn't trail off, and one isn't distracted by Ludwig's castle.

I graduated from a rather small school. One of my acquaintances was an extra in "Dawn of the Dead." She would say things like, "'Dawn of the Dead' is different because it has a moral. And the moral is, 'When there is no more room in Hell, the dead shall walk the earth.'" <brain hurt.="">

Now _that_ would have made Mazursky rich!

Scrooge MacDuck . . .

It has been a long time.
