The Naked Gun (2025) I was anxiously anticipating this one, and it didn't disappoint. It's full of belly laughs, and although a few of the set-ups don't land, the movie is a riot. A second viewing would be necessary to take in all the gags. I was curious if Liam Neeson could handle the...

He was a riot! I used to love watching him on Carson. Classic joke: "I was ugly, very ugly. When I was born, the doctor smacked my mother." If you remember, he did several HBO comedy specials where he showcased new comics, which was a tremendous boost to their careers: Sam Kinison, Bob...

Could be. For several years we watched them on Friday nights. Here's a typical Gorgeous George match:

We got our first TV in 1949. It was a console, but I think the screen was only 12" diagonal. I loved it though. We just watched the most popular shows like Uncle Miltie, Your Show of Shows, then Ed Sullivan. There were only 2 or 3 channels, so there wasn't that much of a selection to cause a...

Oh yes, I well remember Friday night wrestling. Remember "Gorgeous George"? I think he got the whole outrageous costuming and posturing in wrestling started.

Although I've never researched it, I get the impression that American series continuation is based purely on revenue (via popularity), whereas Brit series seem to take a more artistic approach. If so, that may have more to do with how each country's revenue is acquired.

The irony re New Orleans is that the Hurricane winds themselves caused very little damage in N.O., and N.O. is too far from the Gulf to be flooded by it. If the city and the fed had used more of the money to build better levies,then Lake Pontchartrain would never have burst to flood the 9th...

I always use subtitles due to the accents. Most of it I can understand, but miss enough to want to have subs. Some of the Irish, Scot, or Welsh accents are tricky, along with some of their expressions.

In my case: 1. I'm too old to look for someone else. 2. I wouldn't want to cause her anguish. 3. If I couldn't find someone suitable, I wouldn't want to end up alone. [Resist the urge to offer advice. Just state your reason (s).]

There's still one in Burbank, Calif., in the L.A. Valley on Riverside Dr. The wife took this pic of me and Bob when we were out there 8-9 years ago. They still have great food, and do a great business!

Oh yes, Mays was superb. He had an important but rather thankless role. At times he put me in mind of Dr. Watson...:) There wasn't a weak link in the whole cast.

If you haven't seen What's Up, Doc (1972) or True Lies (1984), I guarantee those will get you laughing...;)

I was on tour during August 8-9, 1969, but was shocked to hear of the brutal murders in the newspaper, since my house in Laurel Canyon was just a couple of canyons over from Benedict Canyon, where the murders took place. Then the murders in the Los Feliz area north of Hollywood really put us on...

Lots of words are turned into slang, with completely different meanings than the original words, e.g. "cool" and "suck".

Took your tip, and watched The Thursday Murder Club last night. It was a delight to watch the four veterans ply their trade in a charming story. It was a senior Agatha Christie with jokes that could not have been pulled off by a lesser cast. The Brits are the best of these types of mysteries...
