Get Smart.
99 is revealed as a Kaos Double Agent. Max denounces her to the Chief, who then admits he, also, is a Kaos agent. Agent 13 pops his head out of the filing cabinet and says ‘Me too’. Hymie is revealed to have been created in the Kaos Labs.
Max realises he can’t fight them all, so he surrenders to to Siegfried. Siegfried then admits he was actually a US Government employee charged with setting up a phony enemy agency to create jobs for the spy industry and keep the population under control.
I loved that episode! My favorite part is when Jerry originally opens the freezer and says “Hello…Newman” in his usual sneering tone.
I thought we knew that all along? :dubious: ![]()
MAS*H
One morning, Klinger finds Hawkeye and BJ still in their cots with their throats slashed by a surgical scalpel. The obvious murderer is Maj. Winchester, who stubbornly proclaims his innocence. Fortunately for Charles, his family has friends influential enough to have him eliminated as a suspect and finally transferred back to the States. Klinger is framed instead, convicted by a court martial, and sentenced to life in Leavenworth without possibility of parole. Just before boarding the transport in Tokyo, Winchester turns toward the audience and gives a smiling wink and nod. FREEZE FRAME AND FADE OUT.
ALTERNATIVE VERSION:
One morning, Radar finds Hawkeye and BJ still in their cots with their throats slashed by a surgical scalpel. The obvious murderer is Maj. Burns, who stubbornly proclaims his innocence. Fortunately for Frank, Hotlips compromises the man from the Army CID, who declares Maj. Burns is no longer a suspect. Radar is framed instead, convicted by a court martial, and sentenced to life in Leavenworth without possibility of parole. The last shot is Radar peering helplessly through his prison bars. FREEZE FRAME AND FADE OUT.
Even better: The last shot is Radar peering helplessly through his prison bars and contemplating suicide. FREEZE FRAME AND FADE OUT.
Last night I had a dream about the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond were Marie died. Also Ray & Debra had converted a school bus into a motorhome for some reason. It didn’t appear to have anything to do with Marie’s death though.
Sam finally get’s outed as a witch, but everyone’s surprisingly nonplussed by it. Abner says “How 'about that Gladys? It looks like you weren’t seeing things after all”. The camera turns to Gladys who’s just sitting there staring into space & drooling with obvious lobotomy scars on her forehead.
I was thinking of the episode of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE where Phelps goes in front of a Congressional investigatory committee and plays back the self-destructing messages from emergency-ass-covering copies he made with his own personal tape recorder.
I guess that these, like the hypothetical MASH* episodes above, supposedly appeal to people who like to see a powerful bully get away with an atrocious crime, while a hapless victim gets punished for it. :mad: ![]()
It’s called “black humor.” Definitely not for today’s Alan “Alice” Alda types.
Black humor for the heart to match. :rolleyes:
I suppose you don’t like dead baby jokes either…
Or gassing Jews jokes…
How many people can you fit in a Volkswagen?
BEWITCHED
One day on his lunch break at McMann and Tate, Darrin (the first one, not his lame replacement) is browsing in a backstreet bookstore when he stumbles across A Booke of Whyte Magick for Goode Wytches, published in Salem, MA, in 1692. Reading it on his way home on board the commuter train, he realizes that by scrounging a few simple ingredients (e.g., bat wings, brimstone, frog skins) he can brew a powerful potion for battling evil witches. The next time Endora tries to screw with him, he has a vial of potion ready and throws it in her face. Screaming and writhing, she’s cast into a pit of eternal damnation before an angry and vengeful Supreme Being. So potent is Darrin’s magic that not even the combined powers of Samantha, Serena, Maurice, Arthur, Agatha, Clara, Esmerelda, and Bombay can determine what happened to Endora and they sadly resign themselves to her mysterious disappearance … though occasionally a thin, high-pitched voice can be heard late at night in the Stevenses’ home screeching *"Hellllllllp meeeeeee, I’m **rotting **and **burning *in Hellllllllllllllllllll! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" In the final scene, we see Darrin relaxing with a cigar and a snifter of brandy in his den’s lounge chair, thumbing through his book of spells. He puts his feet up and gives a satisfied smile and wink to the audience. “When I told Sam ‘No magic!’ I meant no magic from her!” CUE MUSIC AND FADE OUT.

I like that episode but not as much as the earlier one where Derwood realizes he is being a complete dumbass because he has a really hot wife that can literally give him anything he wants. The ensuing shopping spree, especially the vintage Ferrari, were obvious but the best touch was the stripper pole in the bedroom. After the music stops for the exotic dance routine, Darrin turns to the camera and says “Play it again Sam” before it fades out.
I actually like the **real **episode where Endora steals a concept car for his birthday, I think it was: “This makes the Batmobile look like a skateboard!”
I’d’ve kept the damned car and had Samantha make the theft untraceable.
My favorite episode of The Brady Bunch was the infamous station wagon chase through the streets of California. Police and the IRS think they finally have enough evidence to arrest Carol for the murder of her missing former husband and Mike, a simple architect that supports 9 people in style, for tax evasion. The slow speed chase ends at Disneyland and it all turns out to be a big misunderstanding or so we are told. Mike gives the 6 kids a moving soliloquy at the end emphasizing the need to always tell the truth but concludes it with a dubious smirk and wink.
That episode is believed to be inspiration of the OJ Simpson white Bronco chase many years later.
