We all know that Disney is a little remake-crazy, but it wasn't until this week's episode that it really sunk in HOW crazy. Because it turns out that UNIDENTIFIED FLYING ODDBALL is the third time we're watching a Disney adaptation of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in less than a year. But because this first adaptation (that we know of...) is from the 1970s, instead of a teenage boy or Whoopi, it's just some dude who travels "back in time" to Camelot to thwart the evil machinations of Merlin and Jim Dale, befriend an elderly King Arthur and his hetero(?) life mate, and totally weird out a poor peasant woman with his terrible notions of romance. Yet somehow this is still the best version of the story we've seen (so far...) - go figure.
