Quick Cuts

I don't agree with a lot of reviewers so I expected to quibble a lot with the notices for Neil Simon's Oscar and Felix: A New Look at the Odd Couple.  But I disagreed with almost none of this review in the L.A. Times or the one that ran in Daily Variety, which is available on-line only by subscription.  And at this page over at the Times, you can see two on-line clips from the show.

On his show this week, Dennis Miller did the same Southwest Airlines joke, and I have to wonder why.  Leno, Letterman and O'Brien all did it the same night — Tuesday — and none of them could have seen the other shows when they taped.  But Miller does his show live on Friday nights.  Hard to believe no one on his staff had seen Dave, Jay or Conan.  (I am not suggesting theft here; just that someone needs to be a little more careful.)

And, yes, I have seen this article about the guy who ripped off royalties for Garfield & Friends.  No wonder I haven't gotten a check lately…
