It's absolutely where the idea came from. I made a thread about this years ago on here. In Season 4 or 5, one of the scenes where Roger is going through his rolodex trying to scare up clients, he's on the phone and says something to the effect of " Oh sorry Louise... I hadn't heard that Larry had died."

I don't know if Matthew Weiner has ever talked about it or admitted it, but it is assuredly inspired by Bewitched.

Three recent movies that are bad (despite the rave reviews):
Oppenheimer
Killers of the Flower Moon

Overhyped isn't the same as 'bad'.

Tom Hanks is a mediocre actor. His best role is still Big.

Big Bang Theory was a decent show and the finale was well done.

Season 4 of Westworld is worth slogging through Seasons 2 and 3.

Animal House sucked & John Belushi is very overrated, as was the entire "Golden Age" cast of SNL. The women weren't funny, Garrett Morris was the black guy, Chevy Chase was a one trick pony & Dan Ayckroyd had no personality.

Chase & Ayckroyd are a curious yin/yang pair. It's as if a great comedian was split in two, like that Jeckyll/Hyde episode of Star Trek.

Naw, he killed it in Forrest Gump. Then again, the role was very natural for him.

The ending to Blazing Saddles is really stupid, and not in a good way. It nearly ruins the movie its so bad.

So, Beatrix Kiddo is shot in the head by Bill and is in a coma. She kills Buck and wheels to his very prominent truck.

No one thinks to check the Pussy Wagon after finding Buck and the redneck?

Larry David is only talented behind the camera.

The Coen Brothers have only made one truly great film - Miller's Crossing.

naw its a classic

The f@g in Airplane is totally out of place. The movie is about actors reading gag lines straight -- except for him, camping it up like Fire Island Spring Break.

He nearly ruins the last third of the movie he's so bad

He is especially bad attempting character roles, e.g. Ladykillers & the DiCaprio impostor thing.

Game of Thrones was highly overrated.

Breaking Bad’s series finale didn’t stick the landing. Nazis? Really?!

Baskets is the best comedy series of this century, so far.

It’s not funny to me at all. Neither is Blues Brothers.
