This week: Family Guy Tom Goes To The Mayor Sealab 2021 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Harvey Birdman Super Milk Chan Mission Hill Home Movies

This is an early 1987 airing of the Mel Brooks classic, "Blazing Saddles", on Australian TV and hosted by Bill Collins. This cut includes the intros & original commercial in all their Aussie glory. Enjoy!

In 1964 Rod Serling (Night Gallery, Twilight Zone) & Joseph L. Mankiewicz (About Eve, Philadelphia Story) wrote a movie for TV (aired on ABC) paid for by the United Nations' special fund. This movie was a fairly modern take on the Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol". The short story is that of an American Industrialist who was bitter after losing his son Marley in WWII, and became an isolationist, insisting that America should shore up its borders & nuclear arsenal, and avoid participation on the global stage. The movie is fairly dark, with the industrialist (played by Sterling Hayden) being killed by a mob in a vision of the future, but waking up to find out that there's still time left to change his ways. Maybe. The movie only aired once, as some isolationists & other viewers were angered by how on-the-nose preachy & didactic it was. It would not be rebroadcast for five decades. TCM eventually began airing an edited version once annually around Christmas, but it has never had a modern release, nor is it available to purchase anywhere (that I've seen). Some 16mm prints and bootlegs, however, were circulated - and it is from these that my VHS bootleg is sourced & now available on LBRY.
