I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

Wikipedia lists TV Shows Cancelled After One Episode

Of most interest (aside from Jackie Gleason’s rant about You’re In The Picture, which everyone who cares about TV already knows about) is the British sitcom misfire Heil Honey! I’m Home, which even the title broadcasts suggests will be no good. Not “contraversial” or “tasteless” but tiresomely unfunny and punch-pulling which, since finding on YouTube, I can confirm—

Two satirical fish in a barrell… Hitler and “old sitcoms” (really not based on any particular sitcom but the platonic dis-ideal of them). Even Mel Brooks’ mining Hitler for laughs became tedious long before 1990 and this is sub-that.

Also the premise is really confusing… is it 1930? 1950? Why are they all American—the funniest thing about Hitler is his stupid shrill German (or accented) voice.

(If you particularly hate yourself, part 2 is here.)

This is only confirming my desire to make my sitcom parody “Hitler’s Pizzeria” (temp title), but I’m so grateful youtube exists so I can find stuff like this.
