  • This is just having fun. Making fun of Houseman. Nobody has to capture an "essence". Hilarious stuff. SCTV spoofed a lot of people and shows with a very low budget. I'm not a big Robin Williams fan, but this is hilarious.

  • boring

  • Williams is awesome, but here he just doesn't capture Houseman's essence.

  • Williams could not shine Houseman's shoes ,He is not funny,can't act worth -------

    the last time he had a hit was the last time he smoked.

  • syewie from family guy lol

  • Hillarious! Especially considering Houseman was a teacher at Julliad where Williams attended. I heard him joke that Houseman was someone who felt everybody should sound like they were reserved, upper-crust English, without much variety etc. . Williams is the exact opposite style. I wonder if he had a hand in writing this but even if not I'm sure he had a great time having a go at him :>)

  • this actor sometimes is good("J?MANGY'' this game)(and film about after death) but sometimes i feel him like too proud or what. this ''Good morning Vietnam ''thing --its crap because he tries to justify the shame of USA.--like stupid Russians try to justify Stalin--" because "it was such a good, developed country,(baby)

  • I'd rather hear Robin Williams reading from the phone book than go to some of his more recent movies. The man has been in a slump for a while now.

  • I was 12 when I saw it and rolled. I rolled even harder when I met a guy in high school named Kent Cubbage who would imitate Robin imitating John Houseman. SCTV RULES!!!

  • The second reading of a Greek guy lives on Danforth Avenue, which is probably not so coincidentally Toronto's Greek district. I guess someone on the writing staff was from up North...
