I'm now going to assume any show with the initials 'MM' has Dolenz involved.

That it is, Cerys, that it is.

Woohoo!

Tupac was just 25 when he died, and the Notorious BIG was just 24!

I'll shortly be older than a Tupac and a Biggie combined! #winning

[touchingcloth]

Ignore, just removing the edit glitch. Only god can judge me.

[Ambient Sheep]

I shall never see the Clangers in the same way again -- that's horrifying!

[jenna appleseed]

the Clangers were robots? #traumatised.

[beanheadmcginty]

Much more likely to actually clang in that state though.

[touchingcloth]

I don't think I've ever seen the Clangers. Is it worth binging the box set?

[Paul Calf]

It only gets good after series 2 when they all start banging each other.

[Marner and Me]

It only gets good after series 2 when they all start banging each other.

Banging and clanging

[Gulftastic]

Do you see Clanger wang?

[Better Midlands]

Do you see Clanger wang?

You'll be shook when you find out how the Soup Dragon got it's name.

[Paul Calf]

Do you see Clanger wang?

You don't see it going in, but then it was the 1970s.

[kalowski]

Fuck my hat!

[jenna appleseed]

Heard this on Johnny Walker's sounds of the 70s show and had a proper
'Fuck My Hat! is this true? / must rush to the internet to find out' moment

Harry Chaplin Chapin didn't write the lyrics to Cat's In The Cradle, they were from a poem written by his wife, about her ex-husband's difficult relationship with his father.

Does imaginary karma have a handjob equivalent?

Contrary to popular belief, SCTV WAS SHOWN IN BRITAIN.
A few eps shown on Granada only in 1978, in a late night slot, billed as Second City Revue - "a satire on television from the Chicago-based theatre company", but nothing online shows that the Chicago side had their own TV satire series. Clearly, whoever at Granada presumed that the Chicago side were involved, or had only heard of the Chicago side.  https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results/1978-01-01/1978-12-31?basicsearch=%22second%20city%20revue%22%20&phrasesearch=second%20city%20revue&exactsearch=false&retrievecountrycounts=false&newspapertitle=liverpool%2becho
Also, there's an interview with CAtherine O'HAra I found on YT or maybe the CBC archive where she says that they had begun showing it in England.
I now wonder did anyone see it.

The Soup Nazi (Larry Thomas) from Seinfeld and Primo (Tony Shalhoub) from Big Night (1996) aren't played by the same actor. Apparently Shalhoub was considered for the Soup Nazi role, though: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/life/columnists/hoffman/article/Soup-Nazi-role-on-Seinfeld-was-life-changing-10783782.php
