Charlie McCarthy's detective outfit is amazing, but isn't the big button that says "Detective" overkill? Maybe it was Mortimer's idea.

Oh, I say, chaps, you really dug into the distant past for this one. Did you know that Edgar Bergen was a lousy ventriloquist? Perfect for radio, however, as his lips moved. Couldn't throw his voice worth a tinker's damn.

But funny? His fights with W C Fields were choice, quite delightful in the whole. Though Bergan's lips moving was more than a little off-putting.

Thanks for the memory lane trip, however do you really think the average slack-jawed twenty something knows what a ventriloquist is? Or remember Bergan and his dummies? Or even radio? (It's that box in your mother's bed room that rings in the mornings from which music occassionally sounds.)

Well, back to business.

Not funny.
