  1. @dturbo what u think young people 13-29 don’t watch old repeat stuff? As someone in that age bracket I have found the shows to be better made, less pretentious and much more entertaining. Bring it on!

  2. I think he’s great in every role – he only has to be in the scene for me to smile.
    @J Shaw, isn’t the line:
    “Jimmy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?”

  3. They should play kids cartoon series “Katie and Orbie”. Leslie Nielson is the narrator in that, and if I remember correctly it was mainly the narrator talking throughout the show.

  4. Good suggestion, Nathan – Dracula Dead and Loving It has been unavailable on DVD in Oz for donks.
    Would be good to see Nielsen in Disney’s Swamp Fox adventure, as well –
    that was released on DVD in Yankee Land, but not in Oz…

  5. I thought this channel was going to be ‘distinctly youthful’ aimed at 13 – 29’s? What’s with all this repeat stuff? They showed Airplane back in November when Leslie died. ELEVEN has been a total disappointment. How did it achieve 3.3 in the ratings last week with the non-stop old stuff playing? I’m sure a Billy Madison / Happy Gilmore double isn’t too far away. Hopefully Packer and Murdoch will bring in their own people/programmers and tap Mott and Co. on the shoulder.
