FReeper fave Blazing Saddles is airing tonight on Turner Classic Movies at 10:30 p.m. EST.
This FR thread from 2015 posited that Blazing Saddles could not be made today due to political correctness.
Fortunately in 1974 Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, et al, were still free to make this comedy classic.
The showing of Blazing Saddles is part of TCM's 31 Days of Oscar A to Z which started Wednesday.
TCM airs films unedited, so all the jokes should be heard/seen.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Humor; Society; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: blazingsaddles; cleavonlittle; comedy; hollywood; melbrooks; moviereview; tcm; turnerclassic

Good Lord!! Who can stay up that late?!?!?!Could it be...."this movie has been edited so as to not offend anyone"
So that means it'll be over in 10 minutes(with commercials).
Yippee ki-yay...My Friend.

Be sure to save enough popcorn for all the “news” talk shows in the morning.
That will be very entertaining!

My mind is aglow with whirling transient nodes of thought, careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.
