SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

james_bader Fridays was my favorite late night show. They were a different type of humor than SNL, and given the time would have beaten them in the ratings. This show was similar, but more cutting edge than Boys In The Hall, from the same era.One of my favorite recurring skits was Richards in drag going up an escalator talking gossip to the camera. Because he is more focused on talking to the camera than getting to the top people become impatient. He would always end with "Oh, shut up!". The pharmacist with Mark Blankfield was also very funny. He would "accidentally" take medications with the signature lines "I can handle it" and "Take a pill".I too wish they were for sale somewhere online.

E. Catalan I must've been 13 when I saw Fridays, a decidedly adult oriented comedy show that my parents for some reason let me watch. It was insane and even though I got the jokes like 5 years later, I still have very fond memories of FRIDAYS. I knew there was SNL, but where I lived, there was no NBC at the time (Brownsville, TX). I also remember seeing some "bizarre" music on the show. A lady who would chainsaw TV sets (THE PLASMATICS) and a "pop" band playing what I later found out to be punk (DEVO). I became a fan of these bands and heavier stuff thanx to watching FRIDAYS. It's a real shame that only Michael Richards and Larry David commercially survived this TV show (They are rich & famous thanx to SEINFELD), because there were other very talented people involved, especially Mark Blankfield. I remember this Igor impersonation he made; he was outrageous! And Richards character where he played a little kid blowing up his toys, that was hilarious (especially for me, at my age, I was actually DOING that kind of stuff with my toys!!!). I agree with most IMDb users here that a DVD set is due. It really sickens me to see so much TRASH given DVD treatment only to later be seen in the "sale" bin of your local record store and not see something truly worthwhile as FRIDAYS. I even have some episodes taped on Betamax, but my VCR has broken down since and I can't find any repair shop to fix it. I only hope ABC does release this stuff in the near future, before some of its loyal following DIES or become TOO old to care about FRIDAYS.

thefensk Given the time-frame of the show, I have a hard time remembering all the bits, but I do remember enjoying it and remember especially that Michael Richards was a standout in the show. One skit that I do remember, that no one else mentioned, was The Transphibians...a group of people who thought they were part fish. They would shuffle into the pet store, zig-zagging across the floor in unison and then splash the top of the water until the store owner made them leave.Was it a great show? In its time it was good and late night on Fridays, if you were stuck at home doing nothing, it was a great interlude. In the early 1980s there was not the variety of TV, even on cable, that there is today. Yes, bring out the DVD!

vhm_14u2c This show was always great! I wish it could be brought back as repeats! There are a few skits that come to mind. Mark Blankfield playing a Pharmacist with unusual events happening to him, and his famous line "I can handle it". Or, Michael Richards playing the little boy burning little green plastic army men out on the lawn turned into a dirt pit, making a loud ruckus, and his Mom (played by Maryedith Burrell) having her moments with him. Or, Bruce Mahler dressing up a dancing chicken and playing the piano. Or, Darrow Igus playing the Jamican Man showing what he can do with fish and other items. And Melanie Chartoff, the cutest comedian ever! And the show also had great musical guests, Boomtown rats, J Giels Band, John Cougar, Plasmatics, B52s, ACDC, and many others. A great show. If you have been lucky enough to experience the show, I hope the above comments brought back some great memories. :-)A devoted Fridays fan
