So many sketches to choose from, but I'll have to say "Mildred Fierce", their parody of Mildred Pierce. Carol was a note perfect Joan Crawford, and Vicki was the epitome of a spoiled brat as Veda. You can tell how much of a classic movie fan Carol was by her sharp, but loving, send ups of old...

I'm in. First time viewing in red. Movies: 1. Phantom Ship (The Mystery of the Mary Celeste) (1935) 2. The Snorkle (1958) 3. Stop Me Before I Kill! (The Full Treatment) (1960) 4. The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) 5. Scream of Fear (Taste of Fear) (1961) 6. The Curse of...

Costco is currently discounting all eight volumes of The Three Stooges Collection from $16.99 to $12.99 for at least the next week.

The sleeves won't fit into the slots in the book, but the flaps on my sleeves do. I was just going to put the sleeves in between the book's pages, but decided to try slipping the flaps into the page slots just to hold the DVDs in place. And it works surprisingly well.

Perhaps they will become more visible the closer we get to Father's Day.

My first season tin arrived from Amazon today, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. The tin itself is a beaut. The detail stamped on the cover is impressive. Looks like Timeless learned a few lessons from last year's Wagon Train tin. Instead of a board book, this book has pages of...

And, once again, this is part of the current Timeless lot (along with Alias Smith and Jones, The Oregon Trail, and Frontier Circus) available at Sam's for $19.88... if you can find it. I've only seen it at one of my local Sam's, and they only had one copy. (Similarly, my other local Sam's only...

I just saw on another MGM MOD (The House of the Long Shadows) on Amazon that customers were complaining that their DVDs were defective, and that this was a widespread problem. "Currently, all MGM DVD-Rs are being investigated for defects by Amazon.com. Hopefully, they will resolve this...

I think Lady Gaga and KISS were an unexpected but apt pairing.

Perhaps Kurt's father has been remodeling an older house over the years. Up till now the number of bedrooms had not been a problem, but I imagine that the necessity of an additional bathroom was realized early on. Still, it's stated that the Hummel house is twice as large as the Hudsons'...

Kudos to the writers for putting an obscure film reference into Kurt's mouth: "I used Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper in Morocco as my inspiration." Only Kurt would decorate a room in early Josef von Sternberg. If it helps sell more copies of Marlene Dietrich: The Glamour...

I have never seen any Timeless releases at my Costco, but they always have some at Sam's. This may be something that varies from region to region. I've visited enough locations of both chains around the country to notice that they tailor their inventory to the local demographic. And I'm...

They have to be edited prints, because I noticed one scene shown in a preview that did not appear in the following episode. I also saw some obvious blunt cuts in some of the short episodes, but, in general, the editing on the shorter episodes is seemless enough that unless you notice the...

According to this website http://marvin1934.tripod.com/index.htm the first color episode was Episode 268, September 12, 1966. And now... Since Shout! didn't include episode listings in their releases (or even bother to list which episodes are on which DVDs), I decided to...

Victoria, in these pre-Barnabas stories, is cut from the same cloth as Nancy Drew, with plenty of intelligence and initiative, which is logical since she was designed as the lead character of the soap, out to discover the secret of her past. But post-Barnabas, Victoria's plotline was thrown...
