Review of Serial

Serial (1980)
10/10
Still hilarious after all these years!
20 September 2006
This is a true cult classic that should not be missed. Martin Mull is brilliant, probably his best gig ever. Tommy Smothers is pure genius as the cosmic priest. The script is hilarious, not just in its satire but is quite brilliant as pure comedy. Favourite line: Martin Mull (Holroyd) visits the alternative, counter-culture house-family of wife Tuesday Weld (!) who has gone out on her own to find her true self, moving in with this small suburban communal group. Holroyd is introduced to one of Tuesday Weld's roommates, a woman who calls herself "Woman". Holroyd: "How do you get your mail?" Watchable again and again but for the fact that these bloody VHS tapes wear out so fast. Now into my second copy. When is the DVD coming? Please before the north pole melts!
