Buster Keaton featured on PBS documentary Make `Em Laugh


The PBS documentary about American comedy, Make `Em Laugh,

Hosted by Billy Crystal, tonight's episode will feature Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. For those TIVO owners and second shift workers, it appears that it will air again on Monday, January 26, at 1:00 am.

Make 'Em Laugh:


The Funny Business of America: The Knockabouts: Slip on a Banana Peel: A focus on slapstick comedy recalls the antics of Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges, Martin and Lewis, the Marx Brothers and Lucille Ball.

And Keaton. AND KEATON. AND KEATON!!!

What does a local boy have to do to get respect around here?

And speaking of such - how about the misspelling of Winsor McCay on this PBS writeup on cartoons? On PBS!

I'll tell ya, West Michigan. We don't get "No Respect"

Where's Rodney when you need him?
