I will be the dissenting opinion.

Waste of time. Boring. Predictable.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that diving board bit was ripped off from one of those old cartoons - it seems really familiar to me, all the way down to the individual things that go wrong with it...

Can't tell you exactly what it's from, though, since it would have been about a decade ago that I saw the original...

There were definitely some Goofy bits in in there, but be careful with your words. I'm sure it's more a playful tribute then ripping them off. Artists, musicians, creative people do it all the time. The difference is if you claim that you created the idea.

That's great. Just what I needed after two weeks of my favorite tv programs getting postponed because of the stupid olympics.

He really should have included synchronized swimming. Exploding swimmers?

Yeah, except that unless my memory was faulty, that diving board part was pretty exact. I dunno, it was a little much for me - I would prefer it to be a little more original.

What programs did you miss? The new season for TV doesn't start for another couple of weeks.

Very interesting. Mickey Mouse even played a part.
