Benny Hill Versus The

 She-Hulk? 

The Benny Hill TV Show has several DVDs out on the market.

I was surprised to find the following description from scenes in an episode from 1981:

One of the most eagerly sought-for sketches is "Bus Stop She-Hulk", with several of Hill's Angels and the guys at the local bus stop.

The group give Claire Smalley a hassle and as she grows angrier her chest grows bigger!

Finally, she explodes and becomes the She-Hulk herself!

She tears off her clothes and hauls out her whip, giving all of the men at the bus stop a real thrill wearing her dominatrix leather outfit.

She roars and grabs the guys and they finally chase her. The She-Hulk is actually Alison Bell.

This was an ingenious sketch that probably had the censors upset! Somehow it made it to British television. 

That scene leads straight into the Closing scene titled "She-Hulk Chase"

I have not seen this episode with the two scenes before, so will be looking for it to possibly share more with you.

And yes... we do have She-Hulk comics for sale! Just click the photo at the top left!

Season Finale

For The Next Great American Band 

12-21-07 Episode

This television series was aired on the Fox Network on Friday Nights For 10 Episodes.

Last night was the Season Finale with the Final Three Bands performing one more time.

Interspersed between their last performance were bands and a mixture of band members playing other songs together, plus a Christmas medley of songs.

Something to keep the viewers interested until the Big Reveal at the end of the show as to who the winner was!

'The Likes Of You' band opened with scenes of previous episodes in the background.

The Clark Brothers performed a quiet beautiful song next.

Sheila E performed with an all female band which featured her on a drum solo. So-So for me...

Six Wire played 'The Last Time' cover of the Rolling Stones song. Good performance!

Goo Goo Dolls performed. Tina says the song was a big hit for them... but it didn't do anything for me!

Denver & MHO peformed... 'Vehichle' song by Ides of March. Wished Denver could have sung like that all the time...

But before the applause for D&MHO was even over, the host was telling them they were not the winners... they came in third.

'Pretty Brutal' said Tina about how DMHO were slapped in the face so quickly.  'Chicken (excrement)' said Michael!

The Christmas Medley was next.. with previous bands' members performing with each other.

The 'funniest line' of the night per Tina, was when the lead singer of Dot Dot Dot said, 'Kids, lock up your mothers..." here's Six-Wire!

Near the end was 'Rock n' Roll Christmas' with all the bands performing together. 'That got a little scary" said Tina!

Then came the final minutes. Out of 2.5 million votes cast... the winner of the NGAB show was... 'The Clark Brothers'!

Tina, (who voted for them last week), immediately was pleased. "America wants someone authentic and unique" she said.

The Clark Brothers ended the show with their 'Billy The Kid" original song...

Supposedly there could be a 2nd Season to this, but there were only 14 million votes totally cast for the entire series. Whereas American Idol received 20+ million for their final show last season...

The End Of The Series

For Journeyman

12-19-07 Episode

Journeyman was a New NBC Show that aired on Monday Nights at 10 PM, After 'Heroes'.

This past Wednesday night, December 19th 2007 was the airing of the LAST episode of this 13 episode TV Series!

Tina and I already blogged our thoughts about the Pilot Episode ...  click here to see !

This show was about time travel, which is a hard concept for the mainstream viewing public to become emotionally attached to.

Additionally, NBC's Monday Night lineup was Chuck, Heroes, then Journeyman.

As I have blogged about previously, none of these were a good lead in for the next show, which NBC finally figured out when they aired an episode of 'Life' instead of 'Journeyman' recently after 'Heroes'.

I personally enjoy time travel shows, with Quantum Leap being one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

However, the cast in these shows usually don't get much air time, so the viewership has less chance to get emotionally attached to the cast members.

We taped the last episode and were able to view it last night. I have not yet read any other bloggers' posts about the final episode, so the following is from my viewpoint only!

With such brief notice, the creator and producers of the show wrapped this series up in the final two shows rather nicely.  I will not reveal the ending to those that have not seen it yet... suffice to say it was not totally concluded, probably in case it were to be picked up by another network.

The Final Episode did give us answers, and left me on a 'high' for the series.

The conclusion was more fitting than Quantum Leap's ending which left everyone wondering... This Series ended nicely and in a much shorter time span of only 13 episodes!

Well done and I for one don't feel I wasted my time watching this series!
