(Grizzard and Harris would team again in the '0s, for a revival of The Royal Family, and in the '90s for A Delicate Balance.)

Although I remember saying exactly that back in the late '90s when I heard about a couple of Stanford grads who planned to displace the top engines of the time with their new creation. "Google?
