Idle and Weis have reshot sequences from Richard Lester's mod Beatles films (now called A Hard Day's Rut and Ouch!) to poke wicked fun at their most faddish excesses; similar pranks have been pulled on the psychedelic animation of Yellow Submarine.

About all that, it is too early to speak. Right now, the last word must belong to Producer Spelling, in whose voice can be heard television's truest, bottom-line tones. Refusing to argue with the show's detractors, he utters what television people all believe...
