  "You've Got Gold"

  by wildcatwildcat

  Entourage kicks a lot of ass, but I doubt any fan will like that they're selling the third season in two separate parts. I know that the third season had more episodes than previous seasons, but come on! At least sell the complete third season in one set for an insane amount like Carnivale.

  Will The State EVER come out on DVD??!!

  by deucefilms

  You would think that with the Reno 911 movie coming out soon (along with the popularity of that show), there might be some kind of effort to put the MTV series The State out on DVD. That show was hilarious and does have its own cult following.

  Shandling just said that a 23 episode "Best Of" DVD is coming out in April or so, and will most likely be the last DVD release. It will have behind the scenes stuff, interviews, featurettes, which is all nice, but disappointing that season sets aren't happening. Better than nothing though.

  Season 3 of Entourage being sold in two parts...

  by danielkurland

  is not a problem, as each half of the season has at least an amount of episodes that would be in one full season, it's not like one set will only have 5 episodes or something. It's 12 and 10 I believe. They're just calling it season 3 part 1 and2, rather than season 3 and 4

  by poutineman

  I'd have to agree that LL snuffed it in part due to how unfunny Jerry's rants were. Is it just me, or was Pam Adlon's character turning more and more into a biotch as the show progressed? I miss the show but agree it needed to end.

  for the person who said that benny hill is tripe

  by emeraldboy

  his later shows are awful. But way back in the 1950's on the BBC ,no one was doing what he did. His use of effects were pioneering. He loved American television and he loved their then pioneering use of editing. He caused uproar in BBC when in one sketch he parodied american commericals. and by dressing up as a woman. His use of sound was also pioneering. Hill was a perfectionist. He left the BBC, because having been to and fro to the US several times, he understood commercial. Hill was not stupid and before the war he worked with his dad who himself made millions out of condoms and lady aides and when his dad died he left the bulk his fortune to Benny. One of HIlls angels was jane leeves. remember her. Daphne from Frazier. wonder what happened. she doesnt like talking about she came to live in the US. Weird. She is a real ice queen apperently. She terminated an interview with vanity fair when the journalist in question asked about how she came to be in america. Back to Benny hill. by the 1980s his saucy seaside humour was getting stale and hill was fired in a very cruel. He was summoned to a meeting, where they kept him waiting and he had barely sat down and he was told "no, more bennies" and with that his career at itv was over. If I was to pick one very funny hill joke, it would be his long running gag of hill slapping a bald man on the head. It is comedy pared down. hilarious. Hill was a genius. dont believe then listen to ernie the milkman. Is a classic.

  Benny hill Ernie(and he drove the fastest milk cart in

  by emeraldboy

  the west). Was no one in the UK charts for four weeks and spent a further 17 weeks in the uk charts.
  
  So for the Americans: here is the song in question....
  
  ERNIE ( THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST)
  11/12/1971 - 4 weeks at #1 - 17 weeks on chart
  
  You could hear the hoof beats pound
  As they raced across the ground
  And the clatter of the wheels
  As they spun round and round
  And he galloped into Market Street
  His badge upon his chest
  His name was Ernie
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  Now Ernie loved a widow
  A lady known as Sue
  She lived all alone in Linley Lane
  At number twenty two
  They said she was too good for him
  She was haughty, proud and chic
  But Ernie got his cocoa there
  Three times every week
  They called him Ernie (Ernie)
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  She said she'd like to bathe in milk
  He said alright sweetheart
  And when he finished work one night
  He loaded up the cart
  He said you wanted pasturised
  Coz pasturised is best
  She says Ernie I'll be happy
  If it comes up to me chest
  And that tickled old Ernie (Ernie)
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  Now Ernie had a rival
  An evil looking man
  Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington
  And he drove the bakers van
  He tempted her with his treacle tarts
  And his tasty wholemeal bread
  And when she saw the size
  Of his hot meat pies
  It very near turned her head
  She nearly swooned at his macaroon
  And he said now if you treat me right
  You'll have hot rolls evry morning
  And crumpets every night
  He knew once she'd sampled his layer cake
  He'd have his wicked way
  And all Ernie had to offer
  Was a pint of milk a day
  Poor Ernie (Ernie)
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  One lunchtime Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door
  It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four
  And as he leaped down from of his van
  Hot blood through his veins did course
  And he went across to Ernie's cart
  And he didnarf kick his horse
  Who's name was Trigger (Trigger)
  And he pulled the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  Now Ernie rushed out into the street
  His goldtop in his hand
  He said if you want to marry susie
  You'll fight for her like a man
  Oh why don't we play cards for her
  He sneeringly replied
  And just to make it interesting
  We'll have a shilling on the side
  Now Ernie dragged him from his van
  And beneath the blazing sun
  They stood there face to face
  And Ted went for his bun
  But Ernie was to quick
  Things didn't go the way ted planned
  And a strawberry flavoured youghurt
  Sent it spinning from his hand
  Now Sue she ran between them
  And tried to keep them apart
  And Ernie pushed her aside
  And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart
  And he looked up in pained surprise
  As the concrete hardened crust
  Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye
  And Ernie bit the dust
  Poor Ernie (Ernie)
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
  
  Ernie was only fifty-two, he didn't want to die
  Now he's gone to make deliveries
  In that milkround in the sky
  Where the customers are angels
  And ferocious dogs are banned
  And a milkmans life is full of fun
  In that fairy dairy land
  But a woman's needs are many fold
  And Sue she married Ted
  But strange things happened on their wedding night
  As they lay in their bed
  Was that the trees a rustling
  Or the hinges of the gate
  Or Ernies ghostly goldtop a rattling in their crate
  They won't forget Ernie (Ernie)
  And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
