Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Depending on how the wine hits me tonight, I might watch the Holiday Special.

I'm watching right now. As much as anything, I'm trying to figure out who the audience is for this. Star Wars is teens and kids, so … Art Carney, Harvey Korman, Bea Arthur, and and Diahann Carroll? When Jefferson Starship is the hippest aspect, the warning lights should have been blaring before the cameras rolled.

I just started it. About 9 minutes in. I love Itchy!

I know I watched this when it aired, yet whenever I've revisited it, no terrible memories are triggered. It's just the bafflement of an adult.

I saw it when it aired too. I was 6 years old and at the time I thought it was fantastic, lol. In fact, I saw it before I saw A New Hope. ANH came out in 1977, Holiday Special in 1978, Christmas of 1978 my parents gave me a bunch of Star Wars figures, and then I saw ANH in 1979 at the drive-in when it was re-released. But yeah, as an adult...stir, whip, stir, whip...whip whip, stir, beat!

30 minutes in. Oh! I love the part where Itchy gets off on the virtual Diahann Carroll video!*

*edit: Shit, that part took up over 5 minutes, lol.

Again, who the fuck was the intended audience for this? The kids will certainly be up for this quasi-virtual sex video!

6 year old Kimmelweck was the intended audience, that's who.

Jefferson Starship's finest moment, IMHO.

Ok, the animated sequence is the weirdest/coolest part of the whole thing. Now I have an odd desire to collect Star Wars Marvel comic books again.*

After 5 cans of Natty Ice, I gotta say, Bea Arthur is well-cast as Ackmena in the Cantina scene.

You are/were insanely kinder to that … production … than I could ever be. I can't even enjoy it on an ironic level.

It's just such a bizarre trainwreck. Maybe we should do an annual group viewing. "Itchy Week", anyone? :shifty:
