Go back to Caddyshack when I need a pick me up.
It just reminds me of that time in my life, kinda free and easy. With a great comic team.

It was hilarious. Truly stands the test of time. Sometimes I watch movies I loved in high school and think 'I can't believe I was once a person who liked this."

Even going so far as suggesting that I modify my behavior in order to come off as more ‘dude’-like. Personally, I think The Dude would have us revisit his saga while in an elevated state. I’ll refrain from suggesting how one attains that lofty perch.

The same attitude that prompted an elementary school teacher to remark that I was like the living embodiment of Alfred E. Neumann’s ‘what, me worry?’ persona. I did bowl in a league in younger days, but I would have a Black Russian instead.

Ted Danson in The Man Inside. It is light hearted and Danson is a funny, dapper lay private detective.

And a raucous period series called The Decameron. OMG! Hysterical. Especially if you are a fan of historical (hysterical) TV.

Also, a short series called Lunatics. It is very irreverent and hysterical.

It's pretty good. Lunatics looks like it has potential. Especially since it's Australian.

Brilliant and hilarious series.
Some outdated language and references.


Also "Two's Company" also British about 1975.

A bit dated, but quite funny.

Has Dana Carvey as a con man. It's an older movie with some politically incorrect humor, as long as you allow for those parts. There was one scene where I just laughed my head off it was so good and unexpected! If you see it, let me know how you liked it.
