Lola Heatherton deserved an Oscar nomination for this performance.

[@fjccommish]

It's a travesty that she didn't win it. And what about Bobby? He not only acted, but he also directed and wrote the script. Lola and Bobby didn't win because the award wouldn't properly address their massive talent.

[@RobJazzful]

Te-REEEEEEE!!

[@alfx5432]

Sexy

[@alfx5432]

I agree

[@robkunkel8833]

Lola had “the right vehicle” … who but Bobby Bittman could have ever put the drama back on the waterfront the way he put drama back on the waterfront? 2:49 “I’m afraid Charlie … let’s get out of here. It’s not safe” … the emotion. I was floored.

Bittman is an Extraordinary Talent. "On the Waterfront Again" is a Cinematic Classic and much better than the original with Marlin Brando. Through the years Bobby Bittman has earned Oscars for Best Actor and Best Movie for his work in "Tootsie Again," "Rocky VXII Two," "Rambo Again," "Top Gun Again," "Risky Business Again Etc.," "Another Graduate," "Midnight Cowboy Again," "Gone With the Wind Again," "Apollo 13 Again," "MASH Again," "Deep Throat Again," "The Wrestler Again," "Dirty Harry Again," Harry Potter Again," "Good Fellas Again," "Taxi Driver Again and So Fourth and So On," "Saving Pvt. Ryan Again," "Mary Poppins Again," "The Sound of Music Again," "Easy Rider Again, "Another Gone With the Wind Again," "Saving Pvt Ryan Again and Again," and "American Graffiti Again." Bobby Bittman really earned everything that he has too. I really mean that sincerely.

[@tuxguys]

(So much Meta-Humor in under 5 minutes.) Of all of the FINE programs on SCTV, "The Sammy Maudlin Show" was always my favorite because it was so close to the Showbiz Truth. Sammy Maudlin: Joe Flaherty William B. Williams: John Candy Bobby Bittman: Eugene Levy Lola Heatherton: Catherine O'Hara In cameo, Lin Ye Tang (host of another FINE SCTV program, "Doorway to Hell!"): Dave Thomas I put 'FINE" in all-caps because that's the way station president Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty) used to say it. The original SNL Cast would often equal this level of brilliance, but they never surpassed it.

He could have been a contender...instead he is a legend. Nobody does Bittman better than Bobby (sorry Skip). A masterpiece...again.

[@stumarston6812]

I thought Brando was good but I think Bittman was able to take it to that next level. I would like to have seen Charley played by Bobby's real life brother Skip. It would have made for great viewing.

[@vestibulate]

@stumarston6812 It WAS Skip as Charlie. Don't you remember the taxi scene, the two of them squeezed together, the bitterness oozing from Bobby's semi-blocked pores, while Skip goes through a series of celebrity impressions referencing the other actors in the picture? Incidentally, people sometimes forget it was Charles Nelson Reilly in the Lee J. Cobb role, and Rip Taylor doing the honors as the priest originally played by Karl Malden. The network ran the show only once, to satisfy some cockamamie write-off requirement, and never let it back on air again, which is a shame. Bobby and Lola were sensational, but for my money Jan Murray as racetrack tout "English Dan" (not in the earlier film version) stole the show.

[@glennmarshall4693]
