The big difference here was in the execution. The former was a dull, generic rural comedy. The latter was hilarious, a bonanza of theater of the absurd meets fish out of water in a rural setting. Things like that make all the difference.
Hijinks aside, is there really such a thing as “identical cousins?” Identical brothers or sisters as part of twins or a larger grouping, sure.
While not quite the same thing, my nephew and I are basically (opposite gender) "twins." When I put a photo of us at the same ages side by side, you can only tell the difference by photo quality and era/gender of clothing. Seriously, it's uncanny!
"My Mother the Car"
A man believes his car has his mother's soul.
"The Roepers"
A classic.
"Three's a Crowd" - talking Ritter.
"Knight Rider" - talking car
"Powers of Mathew Star" - kid alien
C'mon, 6 pages and I can't believe I didn't see one mention of, "The Dukes of Hazard". Boss Hogg schemes, Dukes foil.
Given the era, that's not so surprising. Movies like Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run and untold numbers of '70s B-movies that all revolved around car chases and car stunts. Remember when half the shows on TV all had one scene with a car going on two wheels?
No surprise at all the the Dukes of Hazard was a hit.
Not tv, but I still remember very well rolling my eyes and saying to myself" this has got to be the stupidest bunch of **** I've ever seen",....when the very 1st commercial on tv came out, about a new movie called "Star Wars".
Guess I was wrong.
It was great till the writers strike, and afterwards it seemed like they lost the storyline.
Writers' strikes can easily kill even a very popular television program. Seems like a whole group of series were cancelled because of the strike back in the spring and summer of 1988. (Magnum PI, Highway to Heaven, Miami Vice, Kate and Allie, Simon and Simon). That strike lasted longer than the 2007-08 strike and happened in a time when reality programs were still years into the future and the majority of network series relied on storylines. (I remember a lot of movies, Billy Graham crusades, political specials, and adventure documentaries such as one about the mysteries surrounding the Pyramids of Giza filling network TV during much of '88.) Lost likely fell victim to the '07-'08 strike. Wasn't there a rather large petition by fans of the show to get it back on the air??
