Here's two episodes of the series said to have truly influenced Monty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phy0dvrVzc0&list=WL&index=23 Apparently Milligan in his typical bi-polar way would veer between saying he was proud to have been the catalyst in sending the Pythons off in the absurd...

Oh don’t try to get coy and cute now Johnson now that you got corrected on a few things, you basically said that you didn’t know that Harvey Korman was a second banana before he became……..a second banana, implying that ….what, he became a major comedy star when he was on THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW? Korm...

Well congratulations Gary, you managed to be generally wrong or just somewhat misinformed on pretty much everything you said here. To begin with, Harvey Korman made his name as a supporting comic with his work on THE DANNY KAYE SHOW, which immediately translated into his being picked up as one of th...

Is Lloyd Hamilton in this short? I hadn't heard of it before now, and it's not listed in the Balducci filmography. I stumbled across it while combing through the Alpha Video site. http://www.oldies.com/product-view/7439D.html Oops, those lovely people at Alpha Video must have been looking at the im...

I'd love to know the backstory of how the Cinematheque discovered they had this. Didn't they know? I mean, I get discovering a film in a barn. Perhaps it was a recent donation and they just catalogued it. Or maybe it was in a can marked "Sherlock Holmes - Barrymore". Well, remember, this ...
