      I remember in the 70s, the networks aired some of their most popular shows on Saturday night, and people actually stayed home to watch. I remember around '73-74 , CBS was running the powerhouse line-up of "All in the Family", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "The Bob Newhart Show" and the "The Carol Burnett Show" on Saturday night. Definitely must-see TV.

      Like the 2000 New Years' dinner my friend insisted we all come to when we were just out of high school...at our local small-town restaurant where seniors usually went. The restaurant was almost empty. He showed up dressed in a suit. He wrote his predictions for the new millennium in a notebook and made the rest of us write in it too. One of his predictions went something like, "The screams of the dying echoed down the avenues of the ruined city."

      @@luisalcalabeltran7942 You have no idea. The guy was a riot. I could fill a book with stories of the crazy stuff he did, all the while being totally oblivious to it.
      At his medieval-themed wedding when he was 25, he made us all dress up in costumes. He picked out the costume pattern, which clearly said 'Renaissance' on it, and we had to buy the material. Our mothers sewed the costumes. We had white shirts, black pants tied with a rope, and black capes with black shoes. He controlled our costumes because he wanted to look better than us. The...blushing groom? But he ended up looking like a goth rocker.
      Just before the wedding, one of the groomsmen tripped at a construction site and broke his ankle. My friend called his dad to make sure he wasn't faking it to get out of having to stand during the ceremony. So the poor guy had to lean on crutches next to me, loaded on painkillers.
      He was a great friend, but unfortunately he married a woman who was horrible to me, and I couldn't stand to be around her eventually. I could not understand what he saw in her other than he didn't have a lot of success in dating. We all knew he would find someone weird, but we hoped she would be nice and weird and instead she was mean and weird. That was the end of our friendship. Most regrettably, because he was the one high school friend I would have genuinely liked to keep into adulthood :(

      That's accurate to real life.

      This was reflected in real life, he hosted a Canadian children's show (The Hilarious House of Frightenstien) for very cheap ($13,000) just because he wanted to do something for children. If you ever look up any behind the scenes stories, you will find out that everyone on the production loved him and thought he was the greatest, he even bought the entire cast and crew beers and, them stories when they were all exhausted and needed a break.

    Interesting fact: the James Mason part was originally written to be Dean Martin, which they changed right before air and quickly rewrote to take out all of the Rat Pack references but not quick enough so all the rest of the dialogue itself is exactly the same.
    Also, Bill Hader said that one of his most favourite lines from his entire run on SNL was "Save your sassiest sides for your windowless bars," which the audience didn't laugh at. Which is weird.
