Acerca de esta escucha

Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever put on television—legendarily bad productions.

Some of his work lives in infamy—The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. How did these ever seem like a good idea?

Well, everyone has screwed up a few times, or had their work screwed up by others. It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time is a lifetime reflection of what Vilanch has experienced, learned, forgotten, dismissed, and embraced in decades of working in show business, specifically the south forty acres known as comedy. It involves very famous people and people who were not very famous but should have been.

And it explains to the person in the audience who says to himself, once he has gotten his jaw off the floor, “’How did this ever get made?”

Don’t we all want to know?

universally Funny

Everyone, including people who freak out about transgenic mice will love this. Hell as a unclosested man, Bruce may hate wokeness as much as you.

Fun

Short but fun. Five stars based on my pure enjoyment of this listen. It probably helps that I actually watched and enjoyed the Star Wars Holiday Special when it was first released.

A great story well told

Like having a smart, funny friend tell you all sorts of cool stories about working in Hollywood.

Only complaint: too short!

Juicy Juicy

How can you go wrong with a book written by Bruce Vilanch telling Hollywood juicy back stories.

For show biz lovers

Bruce is an old friend when we were both Chicago newspaper people. He certainly found something more fun to do, and how wonderfully

Waste of money: don’t buy this

Not funny, very thin…nothing interesting. BV is at times incomprehensible: shouldn’t have narrated! I regret listening.

voice a little gravelly

enjoy his work especially Paul Lynde special. Got note from late Florence Henderson. I also enjoyed his backstory on CSTM, Ice Pirates and all those other comic tragedies. Allan Carr was a mess, remember being cruised by he and then Bruce Jenner. Those were the days.
