I really miss Jim Varney.
I would like to see some of his Shakespearean work, too. I bet it was awesome!
Haha Awesome!
He got me.
The feeling is mutual. He belongs to that same mural that includes Bob Ross, Steve Irwin, Mr. Rogers, and Jim Henson.

Jim Varney misses tenthrow?
Would never have guessed, but he was enamored with the guy.

It’s been so long, though I assume most are thinking of a different Dr. Otto these days:
Nothing against Alfred Molina, a powerhouse in his own right.
Most people who are old enough to remember when Ernest had his own Saturday Morning show have never heard of that movie. You basically had to be lucky enough to find the right video store and then realize it was the ‘Ernest’ guy. I also don’t believe it’s ever gotten a decent release since, but I could be wrong.

Already belongs to public domain? Yeesh, lots of confidence there.
That’s the Internet Archive for you. People are uploading tons of movies and there’s no moderation. It’s going to be taken down sooner rather than later and it’s a damn shame.
