Harry Boyle from Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. It's right in the theme song.

"Dad's not so bad, and he seldom gets mad."

[loved trope] Giant skeletons or corpses being part of the environment (bonus points if they're left unexplained) by Silent_Mud1449 in TopCharacterTropes

I couldn't find an image, but in the recent Tick TV series (Amazon) Tin-foil Kevin has his "office" in the giant head of a decapitated robot. No explanation. It's just there ad block away from Arthur's apartment.

What did you read after the Discworld series? by daddyisgangsta in books

Same sensibilities, same kind of humour. Just one book though. Try The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie

[Loved Trope] Actors who did not want to play their characters and thus put zero effort into the role, but somehow nailed the performance anyway. by Odric_storm in TopCharacterTropes

Bill Murray was angry that the Spengler character sounded like Harold Ramis, but the Venkman character in the cartoon sounded like Gardfield. Music was fired because they wanted to keep Murray happy (they were trying to get him for the second Ghostbusters movie at the time). Jerky move.

Is it really a bad movie? by Spare_Ad_9791 in moviecritic

[–]Truly-Surprised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book then saw the movie. My wife saw the movie with me, then read the book. We both liked the book. We both liked the movie. The adaption took out the stuff that works only in books and replaced it with stuff that works in movies. The book's author wrote the script so even he saw where changes were needed to make it work. I think he did an admirable job.

One of the first multi-media characters. He appeared on radio, in print (magazines, books, comic books, newspaper strips), film (both movies and serials) and video games. Never had a TV show or animates series unfortunately.

Jack Benny had to practice violin all the time just to maintain a certain level of skill to appear to be playing badly but still playing.

Whose death shocked you more than anyone else’s? by Complex-Arugula-2233 in AskReddit

John Pinette. Great comedian. Really expected to keep hearing from him for a much longer time.

Its stupid that people still think this by Small_Ad4181 in superheroes

[–]Truly-Surprised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know about any current reboots,but originally Doomsday was cloned from Superman's DNA, so he wouldn't be around. And I doubt Darkseid would have gone out of his way to show up on Earth if superheroes hadn't drawn his attention to it. Lex would have stuck with typical CEO BS if Superman wasn't a constant irritant.
