That's because it's not about robots per se, it's about the illogic being so blatant it would cause a computer to seize up trying to resolve it. Find me a relevant clip with Hymie and I'll use it. "Give me a hand" doesn't cut it.
I've always been a fan of Mel Brooks, but I never did get into that or much else on TV when I went to college back then.
Always liked Sherwood Schwartz, though. Back in the 60's (same period as Wild Wild West) was an insane sitcom called It's about Time. This earworm sticks in my mind, thusly:
"It's about time/It's about space/It's about some people in the strangest place."
Ugh.
Your "it's about the illogic being so blatant it would cause a computer to seize up trying to resolve it." is an excellent point though.
Again, no Hymie?

I miss Dick Gautier. Many of the performers I enjoyed as a kid have passed away this year ...

ReplyDeleteBut as long as you asked, remember "Hold your tongues"?

ReplyDeleteNot to be a trivia Nazi, but "about two men"...
I grew up being a fan of "Ooh Ooh" Joe E. Ross.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever watch/like "Car 54 Where are you" --- wow, those were the good old days.
My favorite episode from the entire series is 'How High is up' with Shari Lewis.
