It is pretty uneven but the really good ones hold up incredibly well. Definitely less cerebral than TZ.

"Bang, You're Dead," directed by Hitchcock, and available on Youtube, is great.

I haven't seen the original Porky's in years, but I remember the theater (including me and my Dad)  roaring with laughter at it, particularly at the shower scene. The only other time I remember hearing such loud laughter in a movie house was seeing High Anxiety and the vomit scene in The Meaning of Life. Sure it was…

I always liked the second Darrin on Bewitched. I was always puzzled when I heard he was the uncool one.

Pete Townsend - Face the Face

Just about every veteran pop star had a bad 80s. Everyone covered their albums in synths. Jagger did those godawful solo albums. George Harrison did that "Set on You" song. Dylan's stock hit new lows. It was such a greedy, gross decade, I can't think of many of the old guard that came out with their integrity or…

This is kind of a douchey comment, but I mean no disrespect and I'm just kind of throwing it out there.

I vaguely remember All That Glitters, it was kind of like Mary Hartman but with men acting like women, and woman acting men. Sounds more like an SNL skit rather than an actual show.

Maude abortion episode. Because Lady Godiva was a freedom rider.

Yeah at some point, when Gus had the DEA, the cartel from down under, and Walt all coming for him, you knew he was a goner. Too much was after him, even if it was Walt who eventually took him out. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar marshaling of forces against Walt.

My predictions:

On the original 60s soap opera Dark Shadows (the Johnny Depp-free version), vampire Baranabas Collins was supposed to be killed off shortly after he was introduced. But as with Jesse, he became too popular, and eventually became the lead character (sometimes even the hero) of the show.

This isn't on streaming, is it? Doesn't appear to be. That would certainly be cool.

Every hipster has had the experience where something they intend to laugh at ends up striking them just so … and the thing they intend to mock, they  become a big fan of, in spite of themselves.

He really was one of the greatest ever. I remember as a kid staying up and watching it, I would be worried I would wake my parents I was laughing so hard.

Yes, and though I hate to be a pedantic Internet guy, radio shows at the time (Jack Benny, Fred Allen) broke the fourth wall constantly. It was part of their thing. It really happens a lot less now.

Yeah I have to agree. He admitted he walked out. Who cares? I wouldn't consider that acceptable for a critic for The New York Times, but The Observer has a looser bloggier-style. It's not something he should make a habit of, but it's unlikely the rest of the movie would have swayed his view.

I forgot "Two Wrongs Don't Make a Writer." That's funny too. Particularly the end.

If I can just add a few more good ones (rather than representative ones) to the list:

So apparently some of his children (and grandchildren) commented on this link:
