Ronnie Horror Picture Show, Part 2/2

It was December, 1980; Ronald Reagan had just been elected President, Saturday Nite Live was soon to have its worst year of its history, and ABC struck back with a late-night comedy ensemble group of its own "Fridays." With a talented group that included Michael Richards and Larry David, this evenings' show opened with a 16 minute blockbuster sketch.

I actually watched this when it first aired. The end of the show the guy who played Ronnie apologized to his dad for wearing stockings or something like that.

I have waited with anticipation for them to release Fridays to DVD but now that I watch it I can't believe how bad it was. Of course some of the scetches were great like Drugs R Us and Transphibians but most are just not written well. And the only actors that acheived a higher fame really shine like Michael Richards and Mark Blankfield

@kpreston69 : this episode was never repeated, due to the legal complaint filed against it by the owners of The Rocky Horror Picture Show; do doubtful you will ever see it on DVD...

dehypnotist: I loved this show when it first aired and, guess what, it still works (particularly after Bush I and Bush II)

Incredible. And 30 years later if the current cast of SNL attempted a 16 minute sketch their cookie cutter heads would implode without their teleprompter and cue-card system. And allythin... Fox news wanted me to tell you your check is in the mail...

This is so poorly written. Not a trace of wit or humor. Just didactic drivel set to the RHPS's music.

Incredible. The costumes were spot on and the political satire is at its best here. It's really very relevant today.

Wow. It is still so relevant it is unbelievable.
