Steve-280

This came on at 4:40 AM this morning, and I was tired, but tried to catch it all. I didn't, and so want to see it again, but I think I caught most of the necessary details. Vince was much better, more thorough, full, than what I've seen him in before (which isn't much) and now I'll expect more. Judd, Davies, and Rudd are also fairly unfamiliar, but now I'll get at them too. They were all fine, but I want that second viewing. I'll probably tape it, but it only came on once this month here. Maybe I'll rent it. Certainly not upbeat, but so is life sometimes. The actors had me reacting with both anger and tenderness, so I hope that won't be lost next time.

As for other mentioned films, Cat left me cool, Hud I love, and remaking Streetcar sans Leigh, Brando, Hunter, et al, is fruitless, even with full dialogue.

I'm much more on the positive side with this one so far...hope it lasts...

But it's so bad it's fun! It really is one of those that is so awful that you can laugh yourself silly watching it!

Oh, man! I started laughing at this 20 or 21 years ago. I've managed to tape them from PBS (while I ought to just buy the set), and bought the scripts for the shows. Everything is so funny with this. The situations, the writing, the characters, certainly the execution. Only 12 episodes, but like many here I can watch them over & over again and still laugh like crazy. Even reading the scripts can make me laugh. And little things like the changing sign in the opening, finally being able to catch a glimpse of "I Kno-ow" Audrey, or the ingredients of a Ritz Salad (ever offered one to a guest?), just make this show untouchable . A benchmark among comedies!!!
