Whenever I watch Mark Valley on Boston Legal, all I can think of is "WHY DIDN'T KEEN EDDIE GET RENEWED????" As a fan of Snatch and Lock, Stock it was very reminiscent of that genre (and I'm sure it was trying to be) but the acting was terrific, the dialogue amazingly funny and the plots were well thought out.
Keen Eddie is one of those GEMS that came and went and will wind up on the Brilliant but Canceled hit parade. From the first time that I saw it until it was prematurely canceled, I thought this was one of the best series to EVER be on television.
I LOVE Boston Legal though it's gotten a bit too quirky/crazy for me sometimes and I think Mark VAlley is absolutely wasted in his role there. If you watch Keen Eddie you will be astounded at how good he really is when not laboring under the Shatner/Spader dynamic.
Is it out on DVD yet? I LOVED this show!!

The thing I've always loved about this movie was the atmosphere...Brooklyn in the 1940s...the background of the Brooklyn Bridge (obviously a painted background but I like it)...the cemetery and the great old Brewster house.
I love Teddy and I love the whole plot line. I think Cary Grant is great in this. It's just a funny funny movie that is well-directed, well-acted and a good time to be had by all. When my kids were little they called this "the Halloween movie" and always asked to see it. They would charge up and down the stairs like Teddy, not quite grasping the dark comedy aspect until they were older.
It is obvious the old ladies have gotten themselves into a "very very bad habit" and that they are just going to go on doing what they've been doing if some intervention isn't taken. The whole idea that the entire family is nuts is great. Cary Grant is the one person who is supposed to be sane and he's losing his mind throughout.
Great performances by Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre. I can see why Cary Grant thought his performance was over the top, but I loved it (and him).

I have no idea why I was madly in love with this show. It wasn't just my huge crush on David Soul (I was 10), but I loved everything about it. When people ask me for my top favorite shows of all time, this is always on the list.
I couldn't wait for the show each week...and have no idea why it was cancelled so soon (it was Emmy nominated). I can still sing the theme song and I just ordered the first season from Amazon.
I just loved everything about this show, from the Bolt brothers, to Candy and Biddy and Lonnie and even Aaron Stempel. I loved the scenery and the scripts.
Okay I was only 10 but it captured my imagination like few shows have done before or after. I have no idea what the lure was, but it was very powerful and has not faded over time.
