I'm absolutely convinced that whenever someone does an Orson Welles impression, they're not doing Orson Welles anymore. They're doing the Rosebud Frozen Peas voice.
Why you should never contact Welles via oujia board. he will keep spelling: R-O-S-E-B-U-D-F-R-O-Z-E-N-P-E-A-S F-I-S-H-S-T-I-C-K-S W-I-N-E In a random order over and over.. not allowing to end the convo leaving the door open for any other entity.. (which is probably what happens in those god awful "Ouija" films)
"Mr. Welles, this is a video will." "What? Look I don't need to do this. I got a fish stick commercial in an hour....Oh what the hell? I need the money."
Gotta love how Welles materialized his ghost in the physical realm just to express his appreciation for Mrs Pells fishsticks. If that's not true love I don't know what is
You're right. The Critic was underrated and underappreciated when it aired. But I remember watching it every week when it was on and at times laughing hysterically.
