That skit is one of the funniest moments in TV history, perhaps in life itself IMO. But, I think you'd of had to come of the age in 1960-70 to really appreciate LT. Bookman.
I've seen it dozens of times and still marvel at his unwavering delivery. Jerry tries to hold it together, but fails miserably throughout. Incidentally, When will Curb reruns return to primetime?.. Getting pretty tired of that sickly, pretentious Trebek

Steve- I hate to say it but I think the Curb reruns are gone.
 I read that HBO sold the show to syndication, and I think TVLand was one of the stations that bought them. How do you show those episodes on commercial TV? Susie Greene's lines will be entirely bleeped out. Big disappointment. I looked forward to watching an episode every evening.

It's an autobiographical novel, not an autobiography, so there's room for some artistic license, margin of error, foggy memory. It's unlikely Miller anticipated his books being fact checked by a 21st century baseball card historian.

Yes, no question Miller mixes fact with fantasy, but the long sections about his childhood seem pretty right on, and if he were in college when these cards were released...just not sure why he would say this. I read Miller pretty closely and his recollections of his childhood days in Brooklyn are strong. I'm surprised he would make something like this up.
