This show is streaming for free on Channel 4 in the UK. I dip in and out, having watched most of it as a kid when it first ran, and it rarely feels dated. I mean, the fashions, etc, have changed, but its hard edge remains an acme of a certain kind of TV.

They've skipped ahead to S7, and they just ran the Mamet episode, which lives up to reputation. It's so Mamet they brought back Lindsey Crouse and gave her some great scenes with Dennis Franz! Only needed a bunch of gratuitous swears and a Rickey Jay or William H. Macy cameo to achieve Full Mamet.

Robert Prosky (with a full monologue in that Mamet episode) was the original Shelley Levene (Jack Lemmon’s role) in Glengarry on Broadway.

Is that him in the second Gremlins movie, as the guy who introduces horror flicks on TV?
