Recently Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David accused Kaufman and Crane of ripping off their TV show Seinfeld when they made the show Friends.
Well, before Friends, and before Seinfeld; Kaufman, Crane & John Landis made Dream on. And the Seinfeld writers must have thought it was Christmas.as they ripped it off liberally.
Remember the Double Dipping scene in Seinfeld, or the scene where George walks around revaulating his life - Straight from Dream On.
There's even a priest called Sherm McKigney who enjoys shaking hands with people.I think he must have been Ray McKigney's (the hand model's in Seinfeld) brother. Sadly Ray is no longer with us as he was not able to Master his Domain.
The difference is that instead of a never seem euphemism, Mckigney on Dream on would have been shown beating off (from the back) and dying in the process..
With a vintage film clip of Ronald Reagan to cement the point.
Future stars of Friends, and other hit shows can be seen playing minor roles, as well as famous stars of the day, like Elizabeth Shue - Though I expect that the sheer amount of sex, nudity, and close to the edge humour has made it.unbroadcastable on most networks so syndication was never an option. ,and as such it has fallen from consciousness. But Easily one of the funniest comedies ever to be made,
If ever a series deserved to be remastered and put out complete on DVD or blu- ray this is it.
