Someone tracked down this Martha Swope photo of the 1986 revival cast of Arsenic and Old Lace. And what a cast it was.

if they decided to (re-)reboot wkrp in cincinatti with a more diverse cast republicans would be calling it woke in cincinatti. and that’s actually all the jokes i have for today!

I hate to say this, but they've been taking out licenced music from things once the rights expire for decades. one of the big shows I've heard of that this happened to was the 1970s program "WKRP In Cincinatti"- it was a sitcom set in a radio studio, and for the original broadcast of the show, they used exclusively hit tracks from the-then current day music charts. When the show went into syndication, all the tracks had to be taken out and replaced with generic stock music (no longer even remotely resembling what was originally included).

a couple years ago Shout Factory offered a version of the show that had most (but not all) of the original music edited back in again, but since then the rights expired again, so it's back to being unavailable.

you know how you can go and watch a movie you watched a bunch as a kid and the version of a song in it is different? like they actually changed it since you were a kid? that isn't normal. we didn't do that until like, the last ten years. it's fucked up.

Today at my blog: WKRP in Cincinatti isn't just for Thanksgiving. Here is a great Christmas episode!

Triple H, Sunny x Fem Reader- "Don't Open the Door!"

During a "Monday Night Raw" episode that aired at the end of 1997, there was a moment in this episode where Triple H had knocked on the door to the women's locker room.

When that door had opened, behind the door was you and Sunny standing behind it, where you and she were both wearing towels.

The towels you and Sunny wore were tucked under your and her arms, and the bottom of your towel and hers reached your upper thighs.

You and Sunny both didn't have soaking wet bodies and hair during this moment even if you and she were wearing towels.

Your towel and Sunny's were both covering your naked breasts, torso and vulva as well as hers, much to the dismay of the horny male fans in the audience.

You were standing right next to Sunny in this moment, where the side of your breast was slightly touching the side of her breast.

The skin on the side of your breast was also nudging the skin on Sunny's breast.

You and Sunny were both not appalled over him opening the door despite that you and she were practically naked.

This moment of you and Sunny standing in the locker room wearing nothing but towels was fan service for the male fans watching this, and oh boy did they love this.

Not to mention, this moment of you and Sunny standing next to each other and wearing nothing but towels was meant to be a recreation of this photo of Loni Anderson and Jan Smithers during their "WKRP in Cincinatti" heyday standing next to each other wearing T-shirts and shorts and their breasts are slightly touching.

All 3 of these sexy 1980's TV actors were born in December!

If I was Bailey, I'd be doing what she's doing in the 2nd gif to Andy Travis (not to be confused with country singer Randy Travis) instead of Herb.

Sketch comedy show "Mad TV" used to have skits where they'd have these classic sitcoms and set them in modern times ("I Love Lucy" in 1999, "The Honeymooners" in 2003, "Laverne and Shirley" 2000, "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" in 2003).

I have an idea for a "Mad TV" sketch where it's "WKRP in Cincinatti" at the dawn of the new millennium, where since the plot of "WKRP in Cincinatti" is about a struggling radio station and shock jocks like Howard Stern were popular at the time, WKRP in Cincinatti turns its radio station into a Howard Stern-show esque radio, where Bailey and Jennifer are half naked lesbian strippers and Venus Flytrap is a pimp.

"Mad TV" no doubt would make a skit like this for sure.

I've imagined in this skit Nicole Sullivan plays Jennifer, Michael McDonald plays Andy Travis and Aries Spears plays Venus.

And the craziest thing is that I've had dreams in my sleep about my idea for this "Mad TV" skit!

It's like, Harold Ramis and Brian Doyle Murray were thinking:

Hey, what if we did a Second City/SCTV Reunion in Jamaica and bring in Robin Williams and Peter O'Toole for the hell of it?

For real though, this movie overall was fairly funny, some real cheeseball visual gags and some zinger one-liners with a little (well, more than a little) drug/pot humor thrown in and the heroes prevailing over the corporate 80s real estate developer "villains" in a fictional Caribbean island, well, paradise =)

Lots of surprises for me:

You've got the "big" Second City alumni like Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, and Brian Doyle Murray in major(ish) roles (SO EIGHTIES!) and god do they play them so over the top, almost annoying and predictable but you could tell they were all having fun with it.

Then there's other Second City people in here as well, like Robin Duke, Mary Gross, and Steven Kampmann. Robin and Mary would go on to write and act in SNL in the early 80s; Steve Kampmann was most well known for writing and producing "WKRP in Cincinatti." All 3 would later cameo in or collaborate in other ways with Harold in future movies he'd work on.

Did not expect to see British actor Simon "Arthur Dent" Jones in this! (I'm also a Hitchhiker's Guide fan, in case you couldn't tell.) Or Bruce "D-Day" McGill as Robin William's fire-fighter buddy.

Jimmy Cliff is really good in this, I must say. Great reggae movie score to boot, without getting stereotypical.

Crew-wise, Harold's best friend from Wash. U, Michael Shamberg, was the producer, and his longtime assistant and friend Trevor Albert was an associate producer.

And, I mean, when will you ever see Robin Williams and Peter O'Toole in ANYTHING together?

I think this movie is a little stronger compared to Caddyshack, in terms of how it holds together. Yeah, there's the broad comedy, but there's some really good little moments in it, and it's Robin Williams being directed by Harold. Can't go wrong with that.

If you can find "Club Paradise" anywhere, I'd say give it a watch just for funsies, or a decent laugh =)
