- DirectorJonathan GlazierStarsWarren MitchellSusie BlakeKen CampbellThis British Television Special features actor Warren Mitchell as the iconic character , Alf(red) Garnett from the immensely popular BBC show , Till Death Do Us Part . TDDUP was created and written by Johnny Speight and Norman Lear based the American counterpart , All In The Family on it . So basically Alf is the original English Archie Bunker . This special showcases a one man show with Mitchell playing the abrasive yet lovable Alf as he interacts with an audience jam packed with celebrities from politics , sports , TV and movies . Alf rants and raves while fielding questions and comments from the star studded bunch . While it's all basically scripted by Speight , the celebrities are playing themselves and I'm sure some ad libs slipped into the mix . It's a very enjoyable time watching Alf Garnett give it to all these Brit Bigwigs !!
- DirectorRocco UrbisciStarsGeorge CarlinIt's Bad For Ya, Carlin's Emmy-nominated 14th and final HBO special from March of 2008 features Carlin's noted irreverent and unapologetic observations on topics ranging from death, religion, bureaucracy, patriotism, overprotected children and big business to the pungent examinations of modern language and the decrepit state of the American culture. Carlin once again comes up with an hour of brand new material that not only makes you laugh, but makes you think. George Carlin will always remain part of the popular lexicon for his 'Seven Dirty Words' routine, and as a comedian who was never afraid to challenge his audience.
