I hope the Giants will re-sign Tyler, especially as top relief pitcher Randy Rodriguez just had Tommy John surgery and is out for the 2026 season.

Excellent! Tim was a hoot, as were his fellow cast members from those years.

Ernie Kovacs lets his imagination run wild in these ABC specials. My favorite sketch: the musical number, an ultra-lounge rendition of "Cherokee" which sounds like Esquivel, performed by kitchen appliances. . . begins at 8:38.

If any starting pitchers get injured or otherwise struggle, Hayden Birdsong could go in the rotation.

I’m an MLB geek and always love seeing this! Jack Kinney not only was a terrific director, he wrote the funniest book I’ve ever read about working for Disney.

And. . . the Psychotronix Film Festival, which started a few years after NIGHT FLIGHT aired.

My preference is to intersperse lots of other short films (cartoons, comedy shorts, 1950’s cigarette commercials, Soundies, bloopers, etc.) between the trailers.

Trailers for bad movies invariably are way more entertaining than the movies.

Love THE HOLE IDEA, directed and animated by Bob McKimson, with story by gagman supreme Sid Marcus.

One of my former employers was a film distributor who had reels of Edsel commercials on 16mm.
