“I’d Buy That for a Dollar” from Robocop. From Scrooged I’d want to see the TV special with Mary Lou Retton as Tiny Tim and the door mice with antlers and the Soild Gold Dancers where you can hardly see her nipples. ---

_Cleopatra Schwartz_, from _Kentucky Fried Movie_. _See You Next Wednesday_, from various John Landis movies. Preferably the version from _An American Werewolf in London_. ---

I came into this thread to vote for “I’d Buy That For A Dollar”, but since it’s already been mentioned twice, I’ll switch to any episode (other than the last) of “The Running Man” and/or any episode (other than the last) of “The Howard Beale Show.” ---

[QUOTE=mbh] _See You Next Wednesday_, from various John Landis movies. Preferably the version from _An American Werewolf in London_. [/QUOTE] I’m pretty sure that was a sequel. Anyway, it seemed to be a pretty dull prono from what I could tell. ---

When I taught defensive driving, I always wanted to show “Blood Flows Red on the Highway” from _Moving Violations_. ---

Oh. And I’d also like to read “Blood On The Badge” by Det. Ron Harris. ---

Two from the Simpsons- the TV show “Do Shut Up” (about hooligan Brits) and theVillage of the Damned style movie “The Bloodening” (now you’re thinking ‘I hope that’s shepherds pie in my knickers’, “we know that you and the bootblack have been rogering the fishwife in the crumpetshop”- hilarious). ---

The “Vulcan Love Slave” series from _Star Trek: Deep Space Nine_. Sounds like kinky fun. The Edward R. Murrowesque TV documentary series whose production crew once visited the 4077th on _M_A_S_H\*. “Badge of Honor,” the _Dragnet_-style TV show in _L.A. Confidential_. Sorry, but “Invitation to Love” on _Twin Peaks_ was banal and insipid, and I’ve seen more than enough “Itchy & Scratchy” on _The Simpsons_ already. I understand the point they’re making about cartoon violence, but enough already. ---

[QUOTE=Ferd Burfel] Oh. And I’d also like to read “Blood On The Badge” by Det. Ron Harris. [/QUOTE] Good one! Put on the list that want see “Psycho Dad” and I’d also like to see the sitcom “Cordy” from “Angel”, just because I love Charisma Carpenter. ---

Given its incredible success as a musical, I’d want to watch the inevitable movie version of _Springtime for Hitler_ ---

[QUOTE=DigitalC] I watched Grindhouse on the theaters and for the life of me i don’t remember this one. I came in to suggest psycho dad but someone beat me to it, so ill go with DON’T! from Grindhouse. [/QUOTE] According to Wikipedia, it may have only aired in Canada. I’d like to see, in that so-bad-it’s-good way, [Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKgc-J__r0g) from Family Guy, and [Good Will Hunting II](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ70hbvaPdU) from Jay and Silent Bob. ---

_Bear With Me_–the story about three people who live with a bear. As broadcast from the GameStation in “Bad Wolf” (_Doctor Who_). And I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Captain Jack’s appearance on _What Not to Wear_.
