BFrank Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 You know what I'd like to see from the 70s and it does not seem available on DVD? Fernwood 2-Night with Martin Mull, Fred Willard etc. That's got to be one of the funniest shows of all time. ← YES! YES! YES! I'd love to be able to see that show again. Barth Gimble! Jerry Hubbard! Happy Kyne! I believe it was on TV Land a while back? ← I'll second THAT!! (or is it "third"?) Yes, it was on TV Land for a while. I own: The Office Special The Ben Stiller Show On Netflix, I've watched or have lined up: Larry Sanders (why only season #1?) Mr. Show (hilarious "next generation" Ben Stiller Show w/Bob Odenkirk & David Cross) SCTV (but it didn't seem to be very good episodes) Danger Man (A/K/A "Secret Agent" w/Patrick McGoohan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Peter Gunn, volumes 1 & 2 ← Oh yeah, I have the Gunns also... forgot about them! Don't know why... I blew through most of those shows when I first got the sets for Christmas. Wish JOHNNY STACCATO would come out too. ← The episodes that I've seen have been much more film noir than I expected. I think I would like and recommend them even if they didn't have the famous music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I don't know what it is, but I just can't stand Bean. Maybe it is that the character seems to slip around a lot -- sometimes simply oblivious, sometimes wantonly cruel (and often cruel to children). (Yes, he's basically a child in a grown-up body, but I don't find this scenario particularly interesting.) Maybe it was the scene in the Bean movie where he destroys the Whistler's Mother painting. I actually felt sick to my stomach watching it (and not because I was laughing so hard). The animated version is a bit more tolerable, though I wouldn't seek it out. On the other hand, I like Blackadder, particularly the 2-4 seasons. Blackadder can be plenty cruel in those, but the witty language makes up for a lot. Maybe I just can identify better with Blackadder who is reasonably intelligent, than with Bean, the apparent simpleton. Don't know, just know I don't enjoy it.

Jerry Lewis, et.al. put the cute waif into their act, but Atkinson throws in the absolute bastard that also lurks in children. It's the wantonly cruel aspect that raises him above the others to me. Well, that and the Rube Goldberg ideas he comes up with to solve his problems, like painting his apartment in a flash. But then comedy is a very personal thing; if it was up to me, David Spade, for example, would be in Gitmo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently borrowed The Job from a friend, and it is one of the funniest shows that I have ever seen. Too bad that it could not have lasted a couple of more seasons.

J Larsen Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 A lot more Bean fans around than I expected! ← I've been way into Bean for a long time. (Aside: does Bloomberg remind anyone else of Mr. Bean?) Lately I've been *really* into Secret Agent/Danger Man, though. The hour-long episodes especially. That has to have been one of the greatest series of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) Now I've started Alias "Season 2". . . . It's a tiny bit less interesting than the first season, at least so far (I'm about five shows in). I never could get my wife interested in the series, so I haven't watched any of these when they were aired. I think it's better this way because you can sail through the cliffhangers. Man, I thought this show would be like "24" but it's so much better . . . I really don't dig "24". . . cheezwhizomatic.

There are several good episodes on the way to the last two, as well as a few sleepers. Overall, I think Danger Man was a better series. But I don't think I have a lot of company in that respect.
