Comedy Store's 20th Birthday, The (1992) (TV)

As of this writing The Comedy Store is still alive and kickin'. Should we anticipate a 40th birthday celebration next year? We can hope because this was a fantastic, now legendary gathering of some of the greatest. It's all good, front to back, but seeing Sam K. in his glory certainly brings the memories. And if you've ever wanted to see Jim Carrey naked stay tuned. Seriously.

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever (1983) (TV)

Hosted by Richard Pryor. A high point is the Jackson Brothers all performing together. I don't know who wanted to see Stuart Leslie Goddard (Adam Ant) sing the Motown classic, "Where Did Our Love Go?" but I doubt it was anyone in the audience from their tone. Don't let it get in the way of your enjoyment.
