    i liked in rat race when cuba gooding jr had to drive the bus full of lucy impersonators, and they cross paths with a bus full of ricky impersonators

    I remember the Lucy impersonators

    but I don't remember any Ricky impersonators

    its at the end where they're all converging on the train station, and cuba is running down the street (while being chased by the lucys), the bus full of rickys cuts the lucys off and they all lean out the window yelling superlatives at the lucys, who subsequently get angry at the rickys

    Was there ever a hilarious role reversal?

    (the wife spanking the husband)

    There was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray was arguing with Debra that she should stop interfering in Robert's life, and she punched him in the balls so hard he blacked out. The audience roared with laughter.

    Personally, I found it pretty disturbing that anyone would find that a funny situation and really hypocritical. If Ray had even shoved Debra in retaliation the show would have been yanked off the air before the end of the episode.

    I'm not sure why Rat Race gets the hate it does. I was enjoying it up until fucking Smashmouth showed up. Then again, I saw it before I saw It's a Mad Mad et al World, so that might have something to do with it.

    This thread made me check out the wiki for "Our Gang" a.k.a. "The Little Rascals", and from there I checked out the wiki for Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer.

    That's just... God. I thought that the episode where the MIL shuts everybody up by saying that marriages are supposed to be shit and you should just endure it was bad, but that reaches whole new levels of D:

    Hulu's summary of The Dick Van Dyke show, episode 2x21:

    "Under the influence of science fiction, Rob fears that a walnut will steal his imagination and his thumbs. Danny Thomas guest-stars."

    It is exactly what it sounds like.

    Fuck yes.

    Also had a thing for Patty Duke

    Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,
    From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
    But Patty's only seen the sights
    A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights — What a crazy pair!

    But they're cousins,
    Identical cousins all the way.
    One pair of matching bookends,
    Different as night and day.

    Where Cathy adores a minuet,
    The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
    Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
    A hot dog makes her lose control — What a wild duet!

    Still, they're cousins,
    Identical cousins and you'll find,
    They laugh alike, they walk alike,
    At times they even talk alike —
    You can lose your mind,
    When cousins are two of a kind.

    I think I may be a bit gay.

    What . . . the . . . HELL.

    "Switzer's country-boy sense of earthy humor could often be cruel. He enjoyed playing tricks on his fellow cast and crew members. One incident occurred when he put fishing hooks in the pants of "Spanky" McFarland and Spanky suffered severe cuts that resulted in his receiving stitches. Switzer tricked Darla Hood into putting her hand in his pocket, telling her he had a ring for her, but in reality it was a switchblade knife. Darla almost lost her fingers from that incident. After Hal Roach sold the series to Metro-Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) in 1938, the now-adolescent Switzer's behavior was even more extreme. He often sabotaged the production of Our Gang films. Once, during a break in filming, Switzer urinated on the set's lights. When filming resumed, the lights heated up and filled the set with such a stench that filming had to be halted for the rest of the day. On another occasion, he put chewing gum inside one of the cameras"

    "Switzer was arrested in Sequoia National Forest for cutting down 15 pine trees."

    Who the hell just cuts down pine trees?!

    Dude died from a gunshot to the groin. I'd say that's rather appropriate.

    Man, Dick Van Dyke is just too awesome. "Racy Tracy Rattigan" is a typical "somebodies hitting on Laura" episode (they do those a lot). Rob get's all mad, gives him what for, and the next day the guy apologizes, explaining that it was all a joke, just to get a rise out of him. Rob said of course he'd forgive him if it was really a joke.

    The guy's response?

    "You'll never really be quite sure, will you?"

    Reminds me of an episode of King of Queens where Doug ends up getting into a group for abused men because he likes the food they have. When his wife finds out and shows up she acts like she's going to attack the guys and they all back away scared, and of course the laugh track starts playing. If that had been reversed, it would've never made it on the air.

    I've seen that a few times. Carrie's a raving bitch who demasculates Doug for the whole episode while the laugh track plays. Though I do admit, I love the dad.

    EDIT: This is why I kind of like Still Standing where both parents are fuckups and they equally mock each other.

    Hogan's Heroes is fucking awesome, and I just wish it was shown on English TV more often. My parents got me into it when I was a teenager, but it doesn't seem to be on that often in the UK.

    Ah Thursdays I work from 8-4 then have class from 4.30- 9.30 so I miss all of Thursday night TV. That explains how I have never seen The Office.

    Pretty much, dude. One section is for the women, another is for sex and such.

    I'd probably have gone even further if the program I'd used was more expansive. But I think what I have is more than enough, really.

    Now the question is, do I organize all my other files the same way?
