Separated at Birth?






Is my idol John Kricfalusi (pronounced crick-fah-loosey) the illegitimate offspring of actor Martin Milner (pronounce mill-ner)? The stills of Milner are from the episode of "Murder By The Book" from the first season of the Columbo series. Somehow Milner traveled through time into the future to copy John K's iconic look. (cue ominous music) Or it could just be a coincidence.

Now how about a post about Michael Barrier and Jimminy Glick's Adrien Van Voorhees?

I had to look google an image for that name since I was unfamiliar with it.

I can sort of see some resemblance. Barrier has a broader face, though, that contains smaller features within it. There's probably an aging linebacker somewhere that looks like him. I just don't know my athletes enough to name one.

Hmmm, I really shouldn't be so quick to publish my comments. I meant to delete the word 'look' before the word 'google'. Please ignore that word as the sentence does not make grammatical sense with it there. My apologies.

Look again:

Michael Barrier

a/k/a Michael McKean

OK, maybe evil faternal twins...

WHOAH!!!!

Okay then, it's settled. McKean will play Barrier in the film version of the great Barrier/Kricfalusi debate. I'm thinking Jim Carrey for Kricfalusi (he'll have to die his hair and wear fake non-prescription eyeglasses). Milner is too old to play the role today.

Michael Barrier as Michael Barrier? That might cause a rift in the time-space continuum.

I think Terry Thomas (from "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World") would have made a great Eddie Fitzgerald (Thomas would have had to shave his moustache, though). Too bad Thomas passed away.

For Steve Worth I would have gone with John Goodman, except Goodman is too old to play the role. Maybe Michael Learner, if he dyed his hair. If he had lived in this era, Sidney Greenstreet would have been perfect.

Mike Fontanelli should be played by an imp.

Oh, by the way, Jorge, you're not going to use my blog to vent your personal vendetta against Thad, are you?

I'll use my own blog for that. As soon as Thad shows me how to rip DVD's. I'm sure he'd love to help me out, right Thad?

Actually I only included him as a throwaway swipe. It fit because he got his two cents in on Barrier's site regarding that debate. I figured it harmless, like the snipe at your Simpsons buddy, Mike

Who could play Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones? Jack Black could play Tex Avery, just shave his head and his eyebrows.

Guys, I think we've broken the Michael Barrier...

I'm not aware of any comment Thad made to Barrier's website about you. Could you post a link?

Which Simpsons buddy are you refering to? I have so many.

If you mean Fontanelli, what I wrote wasn't a swipe. Ask anyone who knows him. He is impish.

Just like my swipe about Thad.
I misconstrued your Mike comment as a swipe, and you miscontrued my Thad comment as a vendetta. In both cases they were throwaway.

No, not on me, his two cents in on the Barrier debate. I was naming all the people who got in their comments on the John K/Barrier debate for the film version. Eddie, Steve, Mike F, Thad, and the rest.
