****I’m about as far from overly serious as one can be but Blazing Saddles is simply not the greatest comedy that Hollywood ever produced.***
As a satire comedy it is ok, as a situation comedy I still prefer IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD.
Each is a comedy in a different format. Years ago I saw HARDBODIES on HBO. Silly and the only reason I watched was to see, well ah, never mind. It was on not long ago. It was so bad I shut it off after about 10 minutes. Way too juvenile. Very forgettable.
Facebook has it’s own IAMMMMW page filled with admirers. I saw it on its first release as a kid. Great movie. Started two of my relatives on the road to being comedy writers in LA.
Correct me if I'm wrong but with Mickey Rooney passing last month all stars of MMMMW are now gone.
