I was going to mention Clampett. Can we have a ranking here?
1. Clampett
2. Avery
3. Jones
4. Freleng

I hate to correct you old chap but Bugs Bunny was based on Clark Gable in It Happened One Night.

It wasn't like he coached the scene though, he was filming reality. He could of edited it but I think it's a powerful scene.

And then Bill and Tim come back as rabbit Alex DeLarges. It was a crazy show.

The scene on YouTube has hundreds of comments like 'Someone should do to her what she's doing to the rabbit' that make me want to repeatedly smack those people in the face. Or maybe I should stop reading the comments.

I'd like if Colbert gets some more variety guests like Carson and Letterman, people like Tiny Tim, Pee Wee, Larry Bud Melman etc.

The church in Ireland secretly had lots of potatoes during the famine, and they hid the potatoes in pillows and sold them abroad in potato fairs. And the Pope closed down a lot of the factories that were makin' the potatoes and turned them into prisons for children.

Do you know where I could get some of this Risperdal?

How dare you! I shall sue you for libel!

Windows on aeroplanes do not open. This is a pressurised cabin - if the windows opened the plane would explode!

I get the same looks when I watch 20's-50s erotica.

By modern film do you mean sound film or film in general?

You could say the same about most contemporary shows use the vocabulary of the moment but we don't chastise them for this reason.

Accessibility for a modern audience, so what does this mean? That it refers to something of that time that a modern audience can't empathise with? In that case there could be a change in how drugs are seen in the future that would make The Wire and Breaking Bad seem as dated as a series about Cold War fears.

Many of the techniques didn't originate from that film, many of them had come from silent films but because for a long time silent film wasn't reshown it was believed that these techniques originated from Kane. It's certain to say the film was influential but more because there was less knowledge of the silent period.

So you also don't think any film before Citizen Kane reached that level?

I think the problem is that a lot of countries wiped there TV recordings even up till the early 80s.

Hhhhhhancock's Half Hour

Calling things dated is bullshit because you're saying these recent TV shows aren't when you can't know that, in 50 years people may say the same thing about The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men et al

But to say that anything that came before never reached the level is as bullshit for the Kane example as it is for television.
