	A conversation with my favorite 7-year-old (regarding XWP)
		I think that if my normally open minded and wonderful sister-in-law and mother-in-law woudl stop assuming they know what the show is about and would actually sit down and watch an episode, they'd let her watch it.
		My dad often watches episodes with me, and he consults me on my fan fiction and he was even a great help in the writing of my VS episode.
		My sister likes it and will watch it if she's over here and I'm watching it, but she'd never remember when it was on or anything.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MY FAVORITE YEAR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It’s kind of ironic that one of my favorite movies from the 1980’s happens to be about the 1950s and the golden age of television.
		MY FAVORITE YEAR ($20) tells the story of what happened behind-the-scenes on the TV show Comedy Cavalcade; during the week that swashbuckling movie star Alan Swann (Peter O'Toole) made a guest appearance.
		MY FAVORITE YEAR offers its hilarious and sometimes poignant tale from the viewpoint of Benjy Stone (Mark Linn-Baker), the comedy program’s junior writer, who just happens to be big movie fan and an even bigger fan of Alan Swann.

	My Favorite Year (1982)
		He then made My Favorite Year in 1982, and that movie went on to be a moderate hit.
		My Favorite Year appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Ultimately, I found My Favorite Year to provide a decent image for the most part, but the softness and the faded colors became a distraction at times.

	My Favorite Year
		Too pretentious for my own good, I can't, at the moment, think of any other films that fall under my that rubric, but I'm sure that I shall, because I don't think that I'd understand this one so well if it were truly unique.
		My Favorite Year is delightfully and easily funny right up to the moment, minutes from the end, when Alan Swann, the Hollywood hero played by Peter O'Toole, appears on the balcony of the theatre in which Comedy Cavalcade, a stand-in for Sid Caesar's Show of Shows, is being filmed, live.
		Superficially, My Favorite Year is one of those amusing movies that don't take your breath away until the very end, and then not to laugh; so you don't remember it as one of the great comedies.

	Musicals Tonight! Reviews - My Favorite Year
		Based on the movie of the same title, the basic plot of My Favorite Year follows Benjy Stone, a freshman writer for the King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade, a live comedy show in 1954.
		As always with Musicals Tonight, the use of the fl binders (which the actors carry with them, containing their scripts) sometimes as props, sometimes as choreography, is extraordinarily clever.
		My Favorite Year, their last production, was actually an improvement on the expensive original show, which flopped in 1992.

	My Favorite Year Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		In director Richard Benjamin's audio commentary on the new Warner Bros. DVD of his 1982 debut feature, My Favorite Year, he talks about how many critics noted that this bittersweet comedy is a valentine to New York.
		It is, but it so much more than that — a valentine to a brand of TV comedy that no longer exists and a kind of larger-than-life movie star who disappeared right around the time Sunset Boulevard's Norma Desmond declared, "The pictures got small." It serves as a heartfelt, humorous elegy to a bygone era.
		Loosely based on Mel Brooks' experiences toiling as a young writer on Sid Caesar's legendary TV show, Your Show of Shows, My Favorite Year captures the essence of the high-wire act of live TV during one memorable week in the fall of 1954.

		I seem to remember that FOX broadcasted MFY a number of years ago in a director's cut version with additional scenes.

	dvdfuture.com :: Review - My Favorite Year
		I guess it would be going too far to describe 'My Favorite Year' as the quintessential Peter O'Toole movie.
		But I think it would be fair enough to say that the wonderful, warm and witty comedy 'My Favorite Year' contains the quintessential ESSENCE of O'Toole -- the character he plays in this film and his own persona, are inextricably intertwined.
		In a nutshell, the film is the remembrance of a special year -- 1954 -- when the very young Benjy Stone (modelled loosely on the young Mel Brooks) is junior script-writer and odds-job boy for the popular variety television show King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade.

	RE: Favorite year?
		My favorite year was the first Lollapalooza. Yes, I maybe an "old fart", that's okay. Sometimes there are advantages of being born before the bicentennial.
		This year, I'm returning with my girlfriend as well as the same friend who was there with me way back in 93 and 95.
		first year was the best...festival concerts were almost unheard of, the bands and their fans were the most diverse mix and NIN kicked ass.

	DVD Savant Review: My Favorite Year
		He gave actor Richard Benjamin his first directing job in My Favorite Year, and thanks to a happy combination of talent, the show is one of those rare comedies that can be seen over and over again.
		A happy hit in the theaters, My Favorite Year has a nice attitude towards people and does a good job softening what must have been a much less rosy 1954 than Errol Flynn had, when he was only a few years and a few movies away from an alcoholic end.
		Warner's DVD of My Favorite Year is a well-mastered disc that makes the picture look as good as new, from the Nat King Cole song over the title to the shots of NYC streets that almost look like 1954 stock shots.

		Having spent a couple of years working on their enchanting Caribbean folk tale Once on this Island, they were anxious to try something completely different for their next project.

		New Years Day has never seemed to me the real turning of the year; which, I have always sensed, is sometime in mid-September, acknowledged by Labor Day and celebrated by a return to school and a forthcoming change of summer into fall.
		The year 1955, to be exact, the last summer of my youth, 16 turning 17, the horrors of high school behind me, soon to be off to the Navy after working aboard a Columbia River towboat.
		However, much to my surprise, at mention of my uncle Ralph rose from his chair and some kind of anger appeared in his eyes; little sparks like you see when you wind up those toy Godzilla monsters and let them run amok on the floor.
