DVD addendum
Would you beleive I talked all about DVD's without mentioning that I finally watched the DVD sent to me by Lj's own ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paulcurtis??? I know, it's fairly scandalous.
Even though I've always lived in the good ol' US of A, I have maintained an abiding love for Rik Mayall, for the last 20 years or so. When The Young Ones first came to Mtv, I watched religiously. In fact, The Young Ones and Tales from the Crypt are the main (older) shows I would like to own but don't...although that's not counting huge shows like Twilight Zone or Night Gallery, or expensive ones like The Monkees (which I'm not buying until a non-Rhino version is released).
Rik's current show is the British version of on-again-off-again FOX show: Arrested Development. The main difference between the two is that Mayall's show is less filled with objectionable characters. Oh yeah, and I'm watching it!! It's called All About George and is damn entertaining. It took me long enough to watch it all, (the first 3 eps) but man was it worth it. And pot jokes? You Bet!!
Sadly, most Americans know Rik Mayall only as Drop Dead Fred (which is also damn entertaining, for those who haven't seen it--it has Carrie Fisher, Phoebe Cates and that guy who played Otter in Animal House). But if you look carefully, you can also see Rik playing chess in the pub scene of the John Landis classic: An American Werewolf in London. He was also the cut-from-the-final-edit voice of Peeves the Poltergiest in this movie that most of you have never heard of. *wink*
So big thanks topaulcurtis, and to Rik.
I am thoroughly entertained!
And now...I'm off to make a tuna melt...presumably by dipping it in lava.

(I will also say that I've always found Rik Mayall to be a big fan of the funny voice. Which I'm not so down with. For me, his talent is eclipsed by that.)

I'll investigate the possibility of copying the 3eps I have.
I'll let you know if I'm successful.

I wasn't going to inquire, since I took so long watching the first 3 eps.
