Yes. The only part that stuck with me was the animated section. Looking back, Harvey Korman’s bit was probably the best.
I barely remember the animated bits, but I do remember the Luke Skywalker and R2D2 phone message from the first act. I think I may have blocked out everything else because of how horrible it was. I seem to remember the whole family kind of getting tired of the show about an hour or so in.
I really think they need to make a Gormaanda action figure. Even if it were a limited run exclusive to some store I don’t have in my area, I’d still find a way to get one.
