SUE ME, SUE ME, PUT BULLETS THROUGH ME: Once or twice a season, Matt Stone and Trey Parker come through with a South Park episode worth everyone's watching. This week's "Trapped in the Closet", featuring Stan's exploration of Scientology while Tom Cruise and John Travolta refusing to vacate his enclosed bedroom clothing recess, despite R. Kelly's encouragements . . . yeah, this one's worth setting your TiVos for.
Speaking of TiVo settings, a few Turner Classics worth your time: Sunday features Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve at 6pm, perhaps the greatest romantic comedy ever, followed by Harold Lloyd's Safety Last at 8pm, which indeed features the most famous shot in silent film comedy history. And Wednesday morning, starting at 6am, it's five straight Marx Brothers movies, culminating with Duck Soup -- which I think is the most laugh-packed movie of any during the pre-Mel Brooks era, and also feels pretty relevant given our present circumstances.
But first? Watch the South Park.
