Yeah, I'm Busy...

...but this one is too funny not to note. At a fund-raising dinner for George W. Bush, folks paid $2000 for a sumptuous meal but were not given utensils with which to eat it.

Sid and Marty Fest

Beginning this weekend, TV Land will be running four shows produced by my occasional employers, Sid and Marty Krofft, on the "Kitschen" programming block. Friday night, they have the first episodes of H.R. Pufnstuf, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and ElectraWoman and DynaGirl. Saturday night, they have the second episodes and then, assuming I've been correctly informed, the following Friday will offer the third episodes...and so on. The festivities begin at Midnight, at least in the East, so someone is figuring to attract adults who remember these shows, as opposed to kids who might be discovering them today...though there might well be a lot of those. There was always something wonderful and weird about Krofft shows and in the mid-seventies, when I was asked to go to work for them, I jumped at the opportunity. I didn't write any of these shows but I'm now going to jump at this opportunity to watch them again.
