...smirks, Little Shop is in the end a cowardly disappointment. The stage show earned respect because it showed universal dramatic rules applied in even the silliest of situations-- Seymour paid for his crimes. Oz told The Crimson he had originally shot the film with the theatrical ending, but that "test audiences" in San Jose, Calif., "didn't go for it."

Realizing that the mike was on, the Vice President then exclaimed, "Whoops! Oh, God, he heard me! Turn...
Brent Musberger hosted one of the silliest parts of the CBS pre-game, a simulation that pitted the play-calling abilities of Roger Staubach against those of Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw and Staubach were presented with various situations that could occur during the game and were asked to call defensive and offensive plays...
