What?! Madonna and Michael Jackson totally ripped him off! Why the hell didn't he sue?

Absolutely. I've always loved "Amish Paradise" loads more than "Gangsta's Paradise."

Wow. I watched a lot of MadTV and I missed that one somehow. That was from the early couple seasons when they actually did movie parodies. Talk a about strange mash-up. (Stranger than "Gump Fiction.") And Phil Lamarr does a dead on Billy Crystal.

True, but Hugh Laurie essentially replaced McInnerny (as you laid out, George was more Percy that Queenie). And they did reduce the main cast from 6 to 3 (OK, 4 if you count Mrs. Miggins, but she's borderline, as she is not listed in the opening credits.) The key dynamic change was Blackadder being at a lower station,…

"Police Squad!" (the TV show) had some gems; one of my faves:

Looking at the six "Blackadder the Third" episodes, you're right in that the main conflict/ foils to BA is generated by external characters (three of which were played by the regulars from series 2 who did not carry over):

Excellent points! It never occurred to me to compare Harry/Melchett/Darling, but you have definitely put your finger on something. "Blackadder The Third" is good, but I've always felt the main cast could've had at least one more person. Perhaps it's missing the type of foil you describe.

Reminds me of one of the more clever scenes from "Family Guy":

Yeah, her career has been spotty, to say the least, but When Harry Met Sally is probably the best thing she's ever done.

"Potato" is the best episode of a comedy series that ends with everyone drinking pee.
