A night of terrible television
Emory and I stayed in last night to watch terrible television that Emory had accquired.
First, Emory had Netflixed the early-80's variety show Pink Lady. Widely believed to be the worst TV show of all time, Pink Lady featured an attractive Japanese singing duo who were gigantic in Japan at the time. The problem was, they couldn't speak English, so the producers brought in comedic anti-talent Jeff Altman to co-host the show. Cue lip-synched disco tunes and vastly unfunny comedy sketches! Emory watched one whole episode before turning it off in disgust. I only lasted about ten minutes. Man oh man, was it bad.
Frank came over a little later and we settled in to watch one of Emory's Comic Con purchases: Legends of the Superheroes, which I've mentioned before. It's really funny. To a point. Then it just gets tiresome. But it really has to be seen to be believed. And it must be seen. Asa and Alex, I'm looking at you, specifically. Corman FF levels of unintentional hilarity. Although, to be fair, I genuinely laughed at a few of the jokes in the first episode, especially Solomon Grundy's Heaven Can Wait reference.

Legends/Secret double feature?
The Legends bootleg is of alarmingly good quality.
