This is Bob "get your ball out of my fairway" Hope
9 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Dave Thomas playing Bob Hope - "This is the only golf course in the world were golfers yell 'ceasefire' instead of 'fore'.

All the traps on the course are grass and the rest of the course in sand. (Well what would one expect in the desert in Saudi Arabia)?

The whole spectacle is hilarious. Dave does a great Bob Hope. I love the shenanigans where Menachem Begin has a "bad lie" and an argument ensues with Yasser Arafat.

Yasser Arafat refuses to leave the 12th green as his men occupy the hole! (Priceless). Menachem Begin's foursome occupy a small strip on the 13th fairway. Bob Hope takes cover in a grass bunker to avoid the golf balls being fired at each other by the two "occupying" groups. I won't spoil anymore of that segment.

On Monster Chiller Horror Theatre, it's the "semi-classic" The House of Cats. Dr. Tongue with his loyal companion Bruno...played by the incomparable Woody Tobias Jr., turn people into cats. Unfortunately for the good doctor & Bruno the cats turn on them. The special effects throughout this skit are state of the art. (Dripping with sarcasm).

Count Floyd is getting greedy here as the 3D glasses are now up to 27 bucks.

Hilarious episode. Very highly recommended!
