Another good Svengoolie film (though not just him) is a Roger Corman past live/time travel story with the added gimmick (if not as much as intended) of much of the dialogue in verse. Fun movie with a good sense of place and good script.
Books: With Beverly Cleary recently dying (did people "too soon" when she was over 100?), I checked out Socks, which is not about Clinton's cat. Not the original with more classic style drawings, but still charming. Rachel Maddow's Bagman about Spiro Agnew is also good. The "this is all so crazy" tone at times is a bit too much; still, the breezy style made the whole thing more readable than her other books. (At least her first; not sure if I tried to read the second.) Lousy author picture (her co-author's pic is fine).
