"Vic and Sade" is another durable comedy - kind of sort of like a late 1930s version of the early 1990s "Simpsons." Slow and gentle by modern standards, but not without wit, irony, and out-of-nowhere surrealism.

That particular story is "The Thing on the Fourble Board," from Wyllis Cooper's incomparable "Quiet, Please," which surpassed "The Twilight Zone" for literary horror and ironic think-pieces more than a decade before the latter show went on the air.

Helped out by a fine turn from Jeremy Northam, if I remember. A real 27%er, Northam.

I'm like a shopaholic…
