Good Night episodes

  • Christmas Is THE One Hit Wonder
    "Holly Jolly Christmas" is wonderful. So's Winter Wonderland. Jingle Bells rocks the cash registers every year. But the biggest Christmas hit of all time is a song composed by two guys nobody ever heard from...before...or after. Lots of people thought it was composed by Beethoven, or Brahms...it's so beautiful. It sings the spirt of the season with grace, and beauty, and peace. How would you like to have the only song you ever wrote, become one of the most cherished songs ever written. That's the story of Silent Night.

  • Men Are Saints... and Turkeys
    A guy's brain swims in a sea of testosterone, which absorbs some of the shock of getting hit in the head by baseballs, Yanni's music, and high levels of excess verbal communication. Preservatives stop germs and fungus from maturing. Therefore testosterone is an anti maturing chemical. That's the only real explanation for the MEN ARE SAINTS campaign. Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Mano-a-Mouse-o
    I knew that if I hoped to ever have my Lady Wonder Wench climb down from on top of her dresser, I was going to have to face the beast. I was going to have to go mano a mouse-o. It was an epic struggle, but I eventually won. Sort of. He was about 3 ounces and three inches. I'm about 180 and 5 feet 10. In the end, he had guts. In the end, I had poison. He was jumping ten times his body size. I was falling on my fanny. I prevailed. But he did good.

  • Commercial Considerations
    Some tv commercials snarl at you...others cream...some croon, "Trust Me." I've done my share of them...like the commercials for the original panty hose that came in the plastic egg... and the "Cross Your Heart" bras...those were interesting recording sessions. We have commercials for "erectile dysfunction" now...but how come we don't have any for condoms ? I thought we were supposed to be "fair and ballanced." Then there's that George Clooney stuff...it's all here.

  • A Lady Wonder Wench Ski Fantasy
    A waitress told me a wonderful thing yesterday. She said "You look borderline like Sean Connerly." Actually, I look more like borderline Harrison Ford...I think. But her comment started a fantasy about My Lady Wonder Wench, Rose, Bill...and me, a small airplane and a ski lodge. An incendiary combination you say ? You're right.

  • Wandering Around at Night
    Louie-Louie Generation guys and girls could have a huge, national "Middle Of The Night Wandering Around" convention. It just kinda sneaks up on you an inch at a time. You guys will recognize the first symptoms when you find you're reading the directions before you put together the "Easy to assemble out door grill." Girls need to be careful when you notice that you've bought stationary with your name already printed on it. Here's the rest of the story.

  • The Curse of the Pimple People
    Just because I now have grey hair, my chest has slipped a little, and when I fly my plane I have to stop and think which is the lever that puts the wheels down, and which is the one that stops the engine... that's no reason for the recently hatched embryo with a backwards baseball cap and a tasteful assortment of pimples and nose rings to call me an "Old Man." Here's what I did about it.

  • The Emerald City
    We went to see the wizard...the wonderful wizard of Oz. He's alive and weird in Las Vegas. The secret story of two Vegas "Girls" this time, plus the old groaner about the "Chip Monks." Also...an explanation of why you should be careful about inviting a hypnotist into your bedroom.

  • Brothers and Other Dangers
    Guys like very few things as much as giving each other a hard time. Especially guys who happen to be brothers. I'm not sure all guys give each other quite as hard a time as the hassles my brothers and I give each other when we get together. Here's what happened when my Brooklyn brother and I got together last weekend.

  • Sounds, Notes and Music
    Wind, rain, high heels on marble floors, surf, leaves, a jet plane, computer keys, a telephone call in the middle of the night, your voice, your heart...they all make sounds. My dad made his living with music. He always said that the sounds make the notes, but the living makes the music. This is about living, and loving, and music.
