Forgive the strange link above, it is from MSNBC. It is an obit for comedy actor Alan Sues, from the 60s and 70s TV show Laugh-In. Here is Alan Sues as Peter Pan in a 1972 Peter Pan Peanut Butter commercial.

WHO SHOULD REPLACE CHRISTIAN BALE AS BATMAN?

Actor Christian Bale has announced he will not play Batman again. I didn't like his Batman movies. I even said on my old blog that that The Dark Knight would suck before it even hit the theaters. Some little dork got upset about it and even had other comic book geeks posting nasty things about me on IMDB. I should note that if you Google "the dark knight sucks" you will find that many people agreed with me. There is even a Facebook sight for people who feel the same as me about the film.

I've decided to give you my idea of what the next Batman movie, after The Dark Knight Rising, should be like and who should be in it. First off, it needs to be a hip, satirical comedy version of the 60's TV series, much like the Brady Bunch movies of the 90s. As for stars, Batman should be played by Patrick Warburton, who played The Tick in the TV show (Top photo). Robin the Boy Wonder should be played by Justin Bieber (Bottom photo). Alfred should be played by John Cleese and Aunt Harriet by Jean Stapleton (Edith from All In the Family and the movie featured in my last post, Cold Turkey). Rounding out the cast would be Robbie Coltrane as Chief O'Hara and as Adam West as Commissioner Gordon.

Of course, an opinion, like this one, is why I'm considered the Super-Villain of the Ozarks!!! Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

YOU CAN WATCH THE WKRP "Turkeys Away" EPISODE ON HULU

I was going to post a video clip that was on You Tube. It was a intro by Gary Sandy for a repeat of the WKRP In Cincinnati episode "Turkeys Away" during the fourth season. In the old days, the first season of a TV show was not put on DVD and sold in stores during the second or third season. In order to see shows again, you had to wait until the show was placed in syndicated reruns or the network reran an episode from a previous season.

In the clip, Sandy, who played Andy Travis, explains that CBS had received a large number of  letters from viewers asking for the "Turkeys Away" episode to be shown again. This is what he said (according to IMDB):
"Hi! I'm Gary Sandy. You know, of all the shows we've done on WKRP in the first three seasons, not one show ever generated the amount of mail, the amount of interest, as a show we did our very first season. It was called "Turkeys Away". So we kinda thought you might like to see it again. It's about Thanksgiving... so naturally we've chosen the Christmas season to show it. Happy Holidays. Drums, please."

You noticed I said the WAS on You Tube. Of course, someone has removed that video from You Tube. However, the whole episode in on Hulu. I placed it at the bottom of the post. It should be noted that TV Guide listed this episode as number in the "100 Greatest Episodes of All Time" list a few years ago.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM DESDINOVA!!!
