Superstars with Paul Anka was a variety show in the 70's featuring Anka doing sketches and duets with Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Laurence Olivier and other Superstars.

What's not to like about her. She's a sincerely engaging, immensely likable performer, who has the chops to play comedy and drama effectively. Not to mention, she's not afraid to let her co-stars get bigger laughs if it serves the sketch.

What's fun about watching the show in it's early run is seeing how many chances it took. It swung for the fences occasionally with musical guests and hosts. Today's show is so calculated, predictable, and rote, that very little is ever surprising about it. The anything can happen energy that is missing from the

The cameo involving the Festrunk brothers was cringe inducing for anyone who fondly remembered the original sketches. It was embarrassing, because it was horribly unfunny and sad to see good performers recreate a 30 year plus routine. It was hard to watch,and reminded me of the Cleese-Palin Parrot sketch they did on

Wilson was great. A pretty perfect show.

I totally agree. I've seen most of the shows, and they've varied from excellent to meh, but this one was laugh out loud funny from start to finish. Andrew Daly is a comedic genius, and totally underrated.

Go Dodgers!!!

For a Klondike bar?

And includes a Laurel&Hardy homage for no extra cost.

I'd like to give that man in the picture a Laurel and Hardy handshake.

I saw the PBS doc a couple night of ago and saw how the creators of Superman were reduced to poverty. I never knew that, and it's beyond words how unjust that was.

My God is that infuriating. The idea that the creator and writer of a successful comic strip gets paid a pittance while the corporate behemoths profit 100 times as much from the work, and can also fire the creator at will makes me want to punch shit.

Garrett Morris has got to be nearing 80, but still looks pretty good.

Does he ever ask where Poochie is?

Sounds like a great first date movie.

I don't know about that. Roots was a miniseries on television seen by countless millions for I think a week or so. It was also the first massively popular exploration of slavery depicting the story mostly from the slaves point of view.

When did Woody Allen return to using his real name, and start reviewing movies for the AV club?

No ,but Garrett Morris is seen in a bubble on the bottom restating the dialogue for the hard of hearing.

I have to admit, I find it courageous that both of these guys are letting themselves age naturally. Kudos to both.

They need to rastify her by 10%.
