Stevie Wonder: "Superstition"!
Funniest or best?
His best is The Truman Show (1998).
Yes, Hilary's renovations are good and do add value to the home. But if the families have already put everything they own into storage for a few months while the renovations are being done, it's not a very hard step to just move everything to a new bigger, better home that doesn't have a "to do" list of things Hilary can't update in the old home.
(In case you haven't guessed, I always root for David!)
This is a bit of a conundrum for me, because while Toys in the Attic is probably the better album, the band made a HUGE mistake by including "Big Ten Inch Record" at the end of side one. There's no way around it: the song is stupid and just filler.
Rocks, on the other hand, is a shorter, much darker and less coherent album, but every song is good and "belongs". With Rocks, one can also see the "beginning of the end" signs, as the band's success and dissipation were starting to catch with them.
Both albums were essential to the band: I can't imagine the late 1970s without either album.
Truer words have never been written. Starting around 1982, this band was downright HATED in the USA. Oh sure, there was still a very quiet following that would push their albums just barely into the Top 50, but NONE of their songs after "Under Pressure" could even be remotely described as "hits", not even those that were huge in other countries. When they appeared at Live Aid, the general US reaction was, "HUH? They're still together?"
I'm not a sentimental fan of the chain, but it was really disheartening to see things like MSN gleefully announce every store closing of the last 15 years. It was almost like they were saying, "Who cares about the employees? Sears is so UNCOOL that we can't wait to relegate them to the dustbin of history and vanish off the face of the earth!"
Thanks, Hedy!
As the Star Wars franchise has demonstrated, if you put out too many too fast, your audience will get tired and bored much quicker.
Planet of the Apes (1968).
When the Hotel California album was originally released, reviewer Stephen Demorest wrote something about the band that has stayed with me ever since:
"How many times can you indict your lifestyle before you're finally guilty?"

I grew up watching the show, and saw every episode multiple times. The best reasons for the nostalgia are:
1) It was relentlessly upbeat and positive at a time when so much on TV and in the movies was relentlessly negative or took itself far too seriously.
2) The blended family: we loved the concept a lot better than the actual execution of the idea.
3) Along with Star Trek, one of the first shows to capitalize on the after-school, before dinner-time viewing times of syndication.
4) It ended at just the right time: while the last season has its faults, the quality hadn't noticeably deteriorated, and the actors had not yet outgrown their intended audience. Also take into account that the sequels and reunions were far less better received by the fan base.
