Two skits from Season 1 featuring "sh" words. Morgan Freeman and Lee Chamberlin are in bed (with night caps on) on a dark and stormy night. They see shadows of shapes on the wall. A ship, shark, shovel, and sheep. One shadow gets bigger, is it a monster standing in the doorway? No, it's only...

Double consonants. A short cartoon of a supermarket checkout line. The cashier rings up the groceries, and the customer shoves them right in his face. Apples Cherries Carrots Lettuce Peppers Jelly Marshmallows Butter Cabbage That will be $123.45. Customer: "Duh, for what?" If we were in...

Jim and Luis (those two could shake the walls with their screaming) were at it again, arguing over who knows what. Jim: "I was!" Luis: "I was!" Back and forth we go. When the shouting escalates to a fever pitch, Morgan Freeman as a cop shows up, asking who was yelling. Jim: "He was!" Luis: "He...

Two Cosby's for the price of one. During his short tenure, the production staff made innovative use of split screens and double exposures to make it seem like Bill Cosby had a twin. "I Like You". Bill dressed like the farmer and his wife in Grant Wood's painting "American Gothic". Bill is a...

The guy in the in the weird cartoon. Isn't shooting out car fumes. More like Taco Bell fumes! 8)

If, from Season 2. A few cast members show how better their lives would be IF the fates smiled down on them. Judy: "I'd have the most beautiful smile in the world... IF... only I brushed my teeth!" She flashes us a grin with about three teeth left. Lee: "I could be the best tennis player in...

Another Very Short Book. @Xerus, I bow down to your incredible recall. Even in the days of YesterdayLand, you remembered some bits even I forgot. That is a big feat. Or feet. In this installment, "Polly Put the Kettle On", Luis is the narrator while Rita plays Polly. The only dialogue on each...

It's really neat to see the little tantrums Spellbinder throws when his plans get foiled. I believe there was one with a bunch of school kinds (and their pets) sailing on the ocean in a BOAT. Spellbinder paddles out in a rowboat and changes the boat to a COAT, which starts to sink. Letterman...

Back to the diner... Jim Boyd is a cranky customer (but not playing J. Arthur Crank) complaining to his waitress Judy about how THIN his bologna sandwich is. He wanted a THICK sandwich. Since the customer is always right, she sticks the whole roll of bologna between the slices of bread, a good...

Speaking of Morgan playing a scene for laughs (and spoofing the Myrna cartoon where she falls through the floor with her furniture), his character Marvin walks into a living room, and everything he touches falls apart. Tables, chairs, curtains, the whole deal. The kicker was when Marvin reaches...

There was a live action "PR" skit. Unfortunately all I can remember of it, June Angela and Stephen Gustafson as guests on a fake tv show demonstrating they know how to PRUNE. They take garden shears and pop a bunch of balloons. Thanks to CTW's resourcefulness, the score is taken from Sesame...

My hair comes down a little past my shoulders. I can tie it back in a ponytail. It's almost long enough to braid. But I refuse to put it in a man bun or a top knot.

Actually perms were more expensive than haircuts. I know, between 1987 and 1990 that was my look. Every few months I went to my mom's beauty salon and had it done. Forty bucks a pop. A men's barber shop would give you a crew cut for five bucks. The only thing more cringeworthy than the perm was...

There was one obscure Letterman clip, showing our hero on a football field. SB changes the L in Letterman to W, making him a Wetter man. For added drama our hero is drowning in a pond on the field (this a few years before the Kinks hit "I Wish I Could Fly Like Superman", with Ray Davies'...

Another cartoon piano player finds words and objects coming out of his piano. Cape, drape, and an ape. The ape smashes up the piano, (and finds a giant banana in the wreckage). The hapless ivory jangler imitates Jimmy Durante, "Everybody wants to get into the act!"

Okay, so I wasn't exact. But still not bad recall for a clip I haven't seen since I was five. But Vi's "sugah" was always such a nice term of endearment.

We go for VI's During Season 2, before Vi's Diner closed its doors, Morgan, Rita, and Jim pay tribute in song to their favorite short order cook. Morgan: I go for potatoes. I go for ham. I go for greens And candied yams. I go for soul food...

Nice parody of the Kung Fu tv show. David Carradine would've been proud. I love the line where Un-Fu explains where he's from. "East of the sun, North by Northwest, South of the border, and right up your street", or something to that effect. TEC made great spoofs of pop culture at the time. In...

Cullen, here's a Letterman clip you might know the title to, goes like this: A man is in his backyard eating a bunch of GRAPES. Spellbinder takes away the GR, so he's left with a bunch of APES! While one beats the man up, the other takes bananas out of a fruit basket. Letterman saves the day...

Technically the 59th Street Bridge is a suspension bridge, but that's a nitpick.
