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

I recall that when it aired in Canada there was some kind of warning or call to be banned because of the scene of kid trying to shoot himself.

I often use/miss-use the phrase “time to grab me something sweet” usually around dessert time. Rewatching this clip, what the hell was the deal with Gentle Ben? There wasn’t anything like that at the time right? Animal talk shows?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

No, just a bit of weird tv imaginings, I think, given all the trashy daytime talk shows of the period, looking for an edge.

I saw a picture of Richie Rich and flashed to Lisa's idea that he committed suicide.

The cut at the end is one of the best-timed gags in the history of humor.

The China Syndrome is one, with Jack Lemmon as a nuclear inspector. Whenever he's offering advice or analysis, all I can think of him talking about making pretzels.
