All Systems Family Guy

This may not be that funny to kids, unless they know the Air Supply discography (US albums, not UK).

Family Guy: Are we there yet?

Chris Griffin gets impatient...

Larry David discovers hotels

I don't recall this scene for some reason, but when I stumbled on it on YouTube, I enjoyed it as much as when he goes out for coffee.

Stewie Griffin is ruined

Many people know of Stew Griffin's odd pronunciation of "Cool Whip," but what of the word "ruined"?  I prefer Larry David's take on it, saying "rooned."

Jack Benny, Johnny Carson and Mel Blanc

This clip comes and goes from YouTube every so often, which is too bad since it is a classic.  Jack Benny and Mel Blanc discuss and recreate some legendary bits from their career.  This aired January 23, 1974 and may be the last time Blanc and Benny appeared together.  It's Benny's second-to-last appearance with Carson (and after that, he'd be on once more with guest host Rich Little).  This is textbook comic structure. #SNL4kidz

Lionel Richie v. Adele v. Peter Griffin and Family Guy: "Hello"

Here's Peter Griffin being transported by Lionel Richie's "Hello" (the original video of which is here).  I'm not actually going to link Adele's song. #SNL4kidz

The Great American Dream Machine

Following on yesterday's post about the Videofreex, here's a look at the other side of "underground" video (if you can call it that) from the early 1970s... the Great American Dream Machine, a PBS comedy/reality(?) show.  Highlights from the program have been out on DVD for some time, so I'm not sure if this gem is on there: an earnest musical number featuring Steve Katz of Blood, Sweat and Tears (and The Blues Project).  A compilation of GADM work is here.  And somewhere out there is possibly the best-remembered segment, featuring Albert Brooks' Famous Comedians School.  Other contributors included Marshall Efron, Chevy Chase and Andy Rooney.
