1:31 James L. Brooks laughing.

Like the Wilhelm Scream, when you hear it you'll never forget it. From roughly 1:55-2:00, at the distinctive honking laugh is one of the producers, James L. Brooks. I've read that he what he finds funny is not necessarily funny lines, but characters acting "in character", so occasionally, he i...

At 20:20, Judd Hirsch tells Marilu Henner, "I remember everything", which is ironic, because Marilu Henner has hyperthymesia, a condition in which a person is able to remember everything!

This was on the "Brut" Record label, not "Brute"

@FriendOwI Well, at least it got some exposure via the movie and an ad, it beats obscurity.

I grew up listening to this album; my Dad used to pass by Louis Hardin on his way to work. He used to stand outside in full Viking regalia. At the time this record was HARD to find and we lived just o...

@puppylover5681 Steven Rappaport died of a heart attack, quite unexpectedly. I had the great pleasure of meeting him, before he moved to Oregon, where he spent his last years. By the way he HATED this picture sleeve!

Yes, it was first performed by Don (Harris) and Dewey (Terry). The Premiers recorded it for Faro Records and was picked up by Warner Bros. For the Premiers' versions, the mono and the stereo are different; the stereo version has an odd spoken intro. From what I have read, it was NOT recorded l...

Yes, it's the same label, part of the Norfolk group of labels, which included Legrand, owned by Frank Guida.

I think the poster used the terms "Most" and "Racist" so people would watch this spot, which is, of course, fine and positive.

HOWEVER! Did you notice that the Black and the White chess pieces were completely separate? Plessy vs. Ferguson, my foot!

Funny stuff! Considering the order in which I saw this, it looks as if Mr. Heckles of "Friends" had a harder life than I thought!

@Saiaton That would not explain the hate mail that poured in to the "Smothers Brothers Show" when, during a duet, Petula Clark touched Harry Belafonte's arm.

22:12 Note the name of the sculptor!

4/5 I appreciated your "Pigs in Space" impression. Also, the Muppets got their name because they are both marionettes and puppets, hence(son?) the name.

@jackandmisty My friend Lisa played this for me years ago! Still enjoyable.

I've heard Rich blessing out his band and it could definitely peel paint, however, I read that even though he rode his band he actually didn't fire as many members as the tapes would imply. Paul Anka comes off almost a...

"In your heart, you know we're right" is a reference to a Sen. Barry Goldwater's presidential slogan, "In your heart, you know he's right". The dig at Jerry Lewis' son was in reference to Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Captain Kangaroo was a long-running children's show on CBS.

22:09 scene was cut before Conaway broke up.

...and they say that people in the 70's walked funny! Great track, hard to find!

At 2:29 the band is playing , "My Nellie's Blue Eyes", later parodied as "Two Lovely Black Eyes".

From "The New Bill Cosby Show" (1972). I saw this when it was first broadcast and this is the first time I have seen this since. I remember this, because the opening dancers/singers sang "Hooray for Captain Spaulding". Usually the show started with the theme and one of the dancers saying some...

@rocmaven I don't think Edith Massey was ever this thin.

This reminds me of "The Crusher" by the Novas.

@beatz02 Your family charges you $26 to stay at home? :) Just kidding. My brother used to work at a movie theater and he told me the amount of money a local theater made that ran "Star Wars" on the concessions alone. I was astonished!

The fellow at 5:26 is miming to a sped up "Malambo no. 1" by Yma Sumac. This is not his only TV appearance. He also shows up on "Cos", the short-lived show of Bill Cosby from 1976. I guess this happened, because The Gong Show and Cos shared a producer, Chris Bearde. I think that a couple of ac...
