This Week in Entertainment (3/26/07)


There are people who prefer The Munsters, and there are people who prefer The Addams Family. Such a question divides the country in red and blue, somehow. This is why my Pick of the Week is The Addams Family Volume 2.

Also out on dvd is the complete first and second seasons of the British version of Whose Line is It Anyway? I prefer the American version, but this set is for those who complain about Drew Carey.

The Complete Sonic the Hedgehog Series is coming out. This is the more serious Saturday Morning series with the catchy theme song. Features furries doing furry things. This series proved that Urkel could be cool! Warning: The series ended with an unresolved cliffhanger.

The Three Stooges: Triple Whammy is for fans of the Stooges who have never bought any of their stuff on video before and want it all dipped in color. I'm not even going to look at what's being offered but I bet I can guess which four shorts is included.

I thought this was already out, but here it is anyway. The Swing Parade of 1946 is being released in color and comes with a rifftrax by Mike Nelson. The Three Stooges have a supporting role in this movie. Curly probably looks awful since he was having health problems at the time.

I was going to recommend Comic Legends - Groucho Marx & Redd Foxx, but there's too many Xs in that title.

Hmmm, it appears that there will also be a couple more Three Stooges DVDs. The Three Stooges: Greatest Rountines and The Three Stooges: Extreme Rarities. There's no mention of what is featured on the DVDs, so presumably it's more public domain stuff that's now dipped in color.

Oooops, kind of screwed that one up. Anyway, every time I hear the Addams Family/Munsters debate, I'm reminded of the great early 80s tv show called Square Pegs. The two lead dudes were having an argument about which was better, the Addams Family or the Munsters, and they turned to one of the girls (I think it was the dark-haired girl with the braces, not Sarah Jessica Parker) to ask her opinion. The one dude put his hand over his head and said, "Addams Family?" and then put his hand over the other dude's head and said, "Munsters?" and did that a couple of times. The girl just looked at him and said, "Yeah, I can see the resemblance." HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!!!!1 Truly, television comedy gold was brought to the masses that day.

Yeah... so....

My word verification is terpka! It sounds like a new line of cheap furniture from IKEA! Terpka!
