Poor Vision, Attack Pigs, and Rubber

I’ll take Things that are Related for 300, Alex!
Poor guy’s been dead for a while and we’re
still making demands on him.
Jake Johannsen has been around a while, he’s
a classic stand-up comedian with talent to spare.
Here he is, early in his career, with his signature
halting style and befuddlement talking about
things that need demystifying…

Not THAT Bad, Frank!

A splendid little slice of Leslie Nielsen and his
supporting cast on Police Squad, a great series
that was cut way too early from television in 1982.
The exec types who killed the show claimed that it
was funny but required focus to “get” all the jokes
that the show threw at you.
In other words, it was TOO funny for TV watchers!
Ponder THAT for a minute.
To show you how wrong they were, the series
spawned a couple of movies that did VERY well at
the box office with that winning formula.
The sight gas are quite often hilarious, as is the dialogue.
Quasimodo is a huge fan…
