2. 1.18.55 has a lovely commercial about being first rate, how it's endangered, and
not doing things out of greed.

A Whirlpool commercial. Betcha they offshored to cut corners and costs...

3. Amazing how truly awful that is.

Bantha surprise? On Kashyyk?

God, the whole thing is just miserable. Though much credit must be given to the awesome Harvey Korman, who managed to pull his bit off with greatness.

4. Art Carney kept a stiff upper lip too. Bea Arthur did it for the kids. As for the rest,

And the Jefferson Starship (:eyes:) looked double-glazed...

6. Dunno, but in retrospect at least none of them had to do the prequel trilogy...
