2019 Pain still being felt-ish.

BIG fan of the book. Discovered the mini-series the other night completely by accident. Starting watching the first episode expecting to be very disappointed. Crazy thing is, I didn’t hate it. There’s potential there. The cast is good. The mixed up chronology is not there, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Not funny…

Agreed. I don't get all the love for this movie. The jokes are so obvious. Not in the same league as Blazing Saddles or The Producers. There's a couple chuckles but most of it seemed tailored towards 9-year olds.

There can be only one Bobby: Dean Jones!
