	DVD Savant Review: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
		The greens and blues of Dr. T's fortress are as accurate as Tommy Rettig's freckled face and 'happy fingers' beanie.
		T's brand of Dr. Seuss anarchy are welcome to their nostalgic glee, but if they wish to convert the unconverted, they need to ask themselves what it all means.
		Behind his posing and raging fits, Dr Terwilliker is really just a crybaby, a 'Mama's boy.' Mother is all wet about the necessity of music lessons; it's implied that America is raising a bunch of crippled sissies because the Moms are in charge.
