12.03.07 by Widge @ 10:31 pm Around here, we dig Matt Frewer. So anything that gets him a paycheck, we're good with. It's a bonus when the thing in question is a rather amusing return to Max Headroom to warn viewers in the UK that Channel 4 (where Headroom got his start) is going all-digital. Nicely done.

11.28.07 by Widge @ 4:46 am A very short bit from an interview with Groucho Marx on David Frost's show, but anything Groucho does is gold. Ordinarily, I'd send you to Classic Television Showbiz for the second piece, but it's only sixteen seconds long, and I feel guilty for sending you over there for that, so go give them a big hug just because, would you?

11.28.07 by Widge @ 3:56 am This is a long distance dedication to all of you young bastards who never understood why I would say "Hey good lookin', we'll be back to pick you up later!" into random microphones. And let's cogitate upon that for the briefest of moments. You are "good lookin'" but not good enough to actually stop the vehicle and pick the "you" in question up immediately. You are "good lookin'" enough for later, however. And is the "you" in question supposed to simply wait there--and if so, for how long? Or perhaps the car simply has no brakes. We may never know. If anyone asks me what a "long distance dedication" is, there will be death. Categorized as: TV

11.26.07 by Widge @ 3:52 am I had no idea this had happened until Ken just sent me this, but that figures: it was broadcast this year in Canada, it's now available on DVD in Canada and I myself am not in Canada. So. Come on, our friends to the North. Bob and Doug are an international treasure that must be shared. Do a complete Region 1 release at least. I mean, seriously. Categorized as: TV

11.23.07 by Widge @ 8:41 pm A great bit with Mel Blanc on Late Night with David Letterman. Sure, it's a bunch of stories you've heard him tell in various and sundry places before, but it's not like that stuff ever gets old. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: TV

11.12.07 by Widge @ 7:00 am Each week, we find it's best to give you something odd and surreal, because the world is odd and surreal. Mithridates, and all that. From a Japanese show that appears to come at things from the same angle as Brainiac Science Abuse, the age-old question is finally answered: if the fastest speed walker in the world were suddenly confronted with bloodthirsty screaming samurai, would he speed walk to safety? Or run? Categorized as: TV
