Are you calling \*me \* a brat? Me? I’m not disputing the claim; I’m just asking. 🙂 ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Brat. > Martin Mull _Fernwood Tonight_\* \*I’ve never really scene the _Larry Sanders Show_, but I kind of imagine it as a slightly higher budget version of this one. Okay, not a film. How about _Ski Patrol_? ---

Used to love Fernwood Tonight, even though I only understood about half the jokes. Aren’t they going to rerun them on that NickAtNite station? Larry Sanders was more of a behind-the-scenes type of thing, but very much in the same vein. ---

They used to play Fernwood 2Night a loooong time ago (late '90s/early '90s) on Nick at Night. Not sure about anything recent. If anything, I’d expect it to be on TV Land. Martin Mull was in _O.C. and Stiggs_, directed by Robert Altman. ---

Maybe I should have gone with something a little more upscale, although we are talking Martin Mull here. (He is a very good pointilist painter, IIRC) ---

You’re right, apparently I lost my mind there. Ray Walston was in _Ski Patrol_. ---

Meanwhile, I languish back in seventh place. I suppose that could be a good or bad thing…😉 So…Robin Williams was used back in post #1221 (like it matters at this point :p) There’s a **Popeye** movie? ---

How old are you anyway, child? If Robin Williams is taken then we can go with Shelly Duvall (whose popularity, along with Margot Kidder’s, I never fully understood – I’ll take skinny late 70s brunettes for $400 please, Alex). ---

According to IMDb, _Popeye_ (1980) is indeed before my time. But now [this](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032924/) is on my most-wanted list just because of the name. ---

Jesus Marimba, **NT**. 1980 is before your time? 😛 Thank you so much. C’mere, lemme beat you with my cane. Hmmmmmm…Shelly Duvall. She didn’t get on my nerves too much in **Roxanne**. ---
