Martin Short could plug in his Jerry impersonation into virtually any movie parody a la "Scenes From An Idiot's Marriage"...we could do an entire website on the possibilities. And as always, thank you for this website that is a labor of love that we all enjoy weekly.

It doesn't happen to be my cup of tea, but I'll grant it's status as an all-time favorite of many. Everyone should probably see it once.

The Genesee region was prime settler location for post-Revolutionary soldiers and families who were given land grants, hence the "Genesee Turnpike" built to go from Albany to Buffalo. (And the name of a locally famous beer...)JD Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882261865750361495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-71596880551705165462022-12-22T17:35:11.653-05:002022-12-22T17:35:11.653-05:00I like your reimaginings but have to confess that ...I like your reimaginings but have to confess that I've so far escaped seeing It's A Wonderful Life 😳John Berry (he/him)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17980394612113328907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-59027066713110635422022-12-22T15:49:10.760-05:002022-12-22T15:49:10.760-05:00You should see what next year's is going to be...You should see what next year's is going to be like!

In this version, Marlo Thomas played Mary Bailey Hatch, Wayne Rogers played her eventual husband, George Hatch (Mary & George swapped last names.), and Cloris Leachman played Mary's guardian angel, "Clara Oddbody". I remember seeing this version (It was an ABC Sunday night movie from 1977.) before I saw "It's a Wonderful Life", which I think I saw just a few weeks later. I think the original version worked a lot better.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-82816596324738206052022-12-21T12:21:16.203-05:002022-12-21T12:21:16.203-05:00These are fantastic!
