WCW damn near did that with the Doomsday Cage match at Uncensored. Replace "Lawler with brass knuckles" with "Booty Man with frying pans."

Dallas. That seventies tri-split screen stuff is classic and the theme song is great. Especially the late seventies-early eighties version where they use the wa-wa funk guitar in it.

I think they should do a best of clip show of the first two seasons for Chapelle. Make it at least hour, better yet make it 90 minutes so you can devote the last portion solely to Rick James. And I'm surprised they didn't put the Prince bit in there last night.

I've got a bunch of the last season on tape and I just picked up the volume 2 box sets for the shorts more than anything. Although Angels Revenge has a nice cast of washed up drunk like Jack Palance and Peter Lawfor that should amuse me. I prefer Mike to Joel, but the first episodes I saw were with Mike. I think that might have something to do with who you prefer. I also have a hard time adjusting to the original Crowe voice as I first got acquainted with the series in the later years on Sci-fi.

Hell in a cell on a pole match. The button to lower the cell is on top of a pole and you have to climb up and press it. Climbing up and pressing it again would cause the cell to rise.

Late '90's? Short lived? You people have shot memories. It was on for four seasons from '91-'94 and there are 72 total episodes. Usually 100 is considered the bare minimum for primary second run syndication. You can check out the imdb to see what the cast is doing now. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101115/

They couldn't show the Rick James skit on Chapelle, because that would be the entire episode. It looks like they're going to show second season episodes at ten and first season episodes at 10:30 on Tuesdays until season three. Is Reno 911 coming back? Lemmiwinks seems to have been a blatant bait and switch for the creators' amusement. The episode last night didn't strike me as blasting Michael Jackson is pretty passe, although they did try to attack the subject from some different angles which was a good call on them.

A dangling plot thread from the last episode of the show was whether Higgins was really Robin Masters or not. Prior to that, Orson Welles provided the voice of Masters over the phone until his death. I believe the idea was that Masters was pretending to be Higgins in order to write a book about Magnum's adventures.

Tim White from the Redneck Kings of Comedy is funny as hell. He's got a good gimmick too. YOu never see people drink and smoke on stage anymore.

I remember a Rodney Dangerfield tribut show he did where Sagat said that Rodney was the only person he ever met that could use cock as as an adverb. After first meeting him, he looked him straight in the eye and said "Boy, you don't know cock!"

The Rockford Files opening with the answering machine one liner. And the tune is kick ass.

I think a lot of the icons, like Hope, Berle and Burns should have been a lot higher. They basically invented stand up comedy as we know it today. Jonathan Winters should be higher. He had one of the quickest and sharpest minds I've ever seen. Robin Williams basically stole his act, just made it more manic. Woody Allen is a bit high, but I've seen stand up bits that he did on Ed Sullivan and such and he had good material if not the best material. I'm suprised that Cosby wasn't in the top three. Carlin and Pryor I believe are interchangeable at number one and they basically represent the two main types of stand up style. Either observational or personal, and Pryor actully did a little of both. And what's with the Margaret Cho love, she sucks monkey dick in hell. I've seen Gallagher live twice and he's very funny. The first time I saw him he did three hours by himself and had the crowd enthralled. The fruit smashing was like the last ten minutes if that. One of the few things that Dave Chapelle has done on his show that I hated was the Black Gallagher bit, because Gallagher is nothing like the image people have of him. A lot of people appear to be on the list simply because of their association with Comedy Central or having achieved greater fame outside of standup, like Carrey and Romano who is way too high. A lot of people look to have been rewarded for the success they achieved outside of the stand up realm. Judy Gold, the female on the show, was very annoying and unfunny on the special. She was always interrupting everyone else and sucking up to the special guests. She agreed with most everyone and didn't say much of anything new.

who tagged with JOHNNY THE BULL

He needs to feud with Magnum TA

who killed KURT ANGLE dead on Smackdown. But if anyone knows how to survive a fall off the building, it' the Giant.

Hitchcock's cameos in all his films are great. The best is Lifeboat. There's a newspaper with one of those "before and after" weight loss ads and Hitch is the before picture.

who then joined the Oddities with GIANT SILVA

who TRIPLE H took notes off of in marrying your boss' daughter to secure your spot.

And you forgot Carol Kane who played Latka's wife. She wasn't a cast member at the time of the Clifton incident either, but you can see her in the movie. In fact, her and Jeff Conaway were not cast members at the same time. I do think Lloyd was around, he had a guest shot as Reverend Jim halfway through the first season and I think joined the cast permantely toward the beginning of the second season after Randall Carver left. I don't have the time to look everything up right now.

Oh yeah, it like just broke even from what I know. It's one of the movies where the studio can't bitch, but can't toot their horn over either. Although I'm sure they've made a decent profit on it over the years with home sales and television revenue. Comedy Central used to show it like three times a week there for awhile.

Clue actually did jack at the box office. I believe the total gross was around $15 million, which was very low even for 1985. You guys call it an "all star cast." But you have to look at the fact that while everyone in it are good actors and very funny, they were not big names. They were all character actors or second bananas. Christopher Lloyd had the most juice coming off of Back to the Future and that was about it. The novelty at the time was the three different endings and each theater would receive a different ending. Very clever and a cult classic. Probably one of my favorite underrated comedies too. And a line no one has used yet, "Is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murders?" "Why do you think it's ran by a man named Hoover?"

See, I remember seeing commercials hyping both Lemmiwinks and the robot episode. So, this was obiviously a blatant bait and switch, but I wonder what the point behind it is.

Your two lines of the night: "That toilet seat was not made for Christian BUTT cheeks." "Chill, blood, I have it rapped in this special CIA napkin." And a big thumbs up from me for using "holla atcha' man" as "random black dude."

That's Lou Ferrigno, both he and Stan Lee are the security guards that are walking out at the beginning of the movie. I thought that was hilarious, because Lee is just jabbering away and Ferrigno is nodding his head like he's listening, but if you know anything about Ferrigno, you know he's mostly deaf. Another nice touch was that Bruce Banner's father's name was David. For the T.V. show, the network had them change the name to David from Bruce because they though it was a 'gay' name. That was just a jab at Batman, they wanted it changed so as not to have the two characters confused. Lee then changed it in the comics that Bruce's real name was David Bruce Banner, after his father and he went by Bruce. So good continuity there.
