      It wasn't back then, they had more variety, actually they had variety period, you could easily go from watching funny Donald Duck cartoons to a symphony orchestra to an episode of Ozzie and Harriet to even a Godzilla movie. Hell, even the Flintstones would show up every now and then, let that sink in, Godzilla and The Flintstones on the DISNEY channel. Also loved the aesthetic of 1980s-early 1990s Disney Channel. It was treated as an elegant, family network, prestigious even. It catered to everyone. When it switched from subscription based to basic cable, it went downhill and started catering to the lowest common denominator, before eventually becoming a low-rent Nickelodeon.

      +Cow I don't know. I like the film too, and I admittedly haven't seen it in a while, but I don't really remember Richard Dreyfuss' character being that bad of a dude.
      I remember it being more like George Castanza comedy from Seinfeld, or Larry David comedy from Curb Your Enthusiasm: where stuff seems to get progressively worse and worse for a main character, and it kind of seems like the entire world is operating against him.
      I think the comedy just comes in from how absurdly awful things get for the Dr. Like it reaches a level of absurdity that makes it funny. But I can totally understand why some people aren't a fan of it, it definitely is a niche kind of humor.

    So there's two things that make our local used-crap shops here interesting:
    For starters, it should be noted that I live in a pioneer town that was still being built about a hundred years ago. There's people living here today that worked the land with their grandparents. So there's a lot of cool antique crap.
    BUT... it should also be noted that faux-antique crap was all the rage in the 1970s. So unless you have a discerning eye it's hard to tell what's an interesting piece of history and what's kitschy 70s garbage.
    I used to work there as a volunteer. One of the things I found was a big manual all about operating 19th century steam-powered factory equipment. It was incredibly old and really cool. I gave it to the owner to display in our 'hall of fame'.

    We had a Food Lion in our town for a couple years, but they were shut down because it was found they were chopping up meat with rusty tools! Thankfully, we never frequented it because it was out of the way for us, and because the store was emptied out, it made way for someone to buy it and turn it into a movie theater! And I'm happy to report that the movie theater is not doing anything with rusty implements.
