sid caesar was probably my favorite, although sometimes he made my stomach hurt from laughing so hard, like when he played the saxophone with glasses 3 inches thick and hair higher than marge simpson.
oh yes, alfred hitchcock! every week.

Is that the one where they went and fetched the dead body from way out in the boonies, or is that the Jewish funeral where they were trying to find enough jews to do the prayer ceremony?Ivan Seeking said:Did you catch Rick's funeral?
Did we already discuss that here or somewhere else...:uhh:

Six Feet Under is the same, if not even better. You can rent the first season on DVD. You'll be hooked. It's quirky, mystical, gritty, human, something like Quentin Tarantino fused with M. Night Shyamalan or the better David Lynch moments from Twin Peaks: excellent plots, and plot twists, with a surreal spice that crops up now and then each episode. It's by the same writer/director who made American Beauty.Ivan Seeking said:Northern Exposure probably qualifies as one of my top five all time favorites, maybe even number one... The writing during the first three or four seasons was really creative, if not comic [satire] genius. I can't really think of another show quite like it.
There's a good movie called the "The Dish" about the Parkes antenna in Australia used to receive and transmit the TV pictures from the Moon. Using the Parkes antenna was a matter of national prestige for Australia, so you had a small town having to coordinate visits from the Prime Minister and the American Ambassador.Ivan Seeking said:For me, the most memorable moment is easy; The moon landing, up until 911.
