• Objectively this is a very thin sketch. Imagine reviewing the typed script, circa 1982, after seeing a Bill Murray movie, about the time we all thought Bill Murray was funny. Your reaction would be like Milton Berle's to Joe Flaherty at the 1982 Emmy: "what the hell..."?

  But so much weird energy is put into this that it wins you over. These were brilliant performers. The writing was a little uneven - hey, who gets even writing? - but when the writing lagged a little, the performances redeemed it.

  Indeed, orders of magnitude better than SNL.

• I so want to attend this fall's Monster Bash/Monster Con in Pittsburgh (not West Mifflin, heh-heh) to see Joe Flaherty (Count Floyd) in person. We shall see...
