Elvis Costello's Trust's opening is my choice - Clubland moves into Lover's Walk, but the first side of that disk is one of the best ever.

Shakespeare's "Greatest Hits" includes the wonderful: "To be (or not to be)"

Another fine, fine human being, Bob K. was.

One of the greatest human beings, whom I never met, in my life: Mr. Fred Rogers.

Cheese!  "I can't be bothered to get into classical or jazz?"

Yep.

I simply find rating the SCTV main cast an absurd idea, far more so even than rating the Pythons, which seems petty.

The 3-D House of Beef.

"He beat the woman unconscious with a puppet…."

The running joke, of hitting Richard Harris with a brick, is beyond priceless!  In The Awards takeoff, Moranis and Candy heckle Harris for using a low voice no one can hear, then pitch a brick into his chest.  Guy jumps out of his wheelchair and into the fray, kung-fu fighting, only to be hit over the head with a

No one's mentioned "Pre-Teen World" so I am.

Her muscle car!!!

The Schmege Christmas episode was comedy at its most controlled, powerful.

And I think you're an ignorant asshole playing the tiresome troll.

Because it was the greatest episode of comedy EVER, and shouldn't be mentioned by name without bowing one's head and genuflecting!

My favorite, after the "Blood-sucking Monkeys from West Midlands" anyway, is his introduction of "Four for Texas" as a horror movie:"Peter Lawford, just, standing there!" … "I tell ya, kids, I'd be scared if Four for Texas was the last thing I'd done."

I dunno, but I suspect that my still not having seen more than one episode of Mr. Show is the biggest omission I've made, even more than Blackadder.

Godfather, Zontar (especially the ending!), Towering Inferno (which contains a line I use WHENEVER possible - "I've got [claps hand on thigh] STRONG LEGS" - !!!!!), Vikings & Beekeepers, the Awards show (Bob Hope is BETTER in this!), I was a Teenage Communist…………………………

Loved SCTV from the first video my dad showed me and followed the entire rest of the run.  I have good memoriess of the final Cinemax series (especially the weekly episode of "Happy Hour"), but it seems never destined for release on DVD.

It's the least they can do, but enough for me.  I feel that, once evil people are dead, I can fully pity the pain being evil must have caused them as well, and forgive them, knowing they are in heaven or hell or anywhere between, just as dead as I will be someday.
