Well, when you put it that way, maybe you're right!

Probably not…

Mike had a nice trip to the park with his granddaughter, and bought her an ice cream cone.

I found it the opposite wrt the fart jokes—didn't care for the one in the first episode, really liked the one tonight.

Dear AV Clubbers,
Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?
Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do.
They all laugh when they say me coming,

Thanks!

Yep, that's about what I expected to hear.

Tales from the Crypt spec script
Not sure if this is gonna interest anyone, but I once wrote a spec script for the original series, just for the fuck of it (never shared it with anyone but my brother):
