Here’s a fun challenge for DVR manufacturers. How can a future machine be set to truncate a program that “is about 73% really good and the rest… in the crapper”?

That assessment comes from the person at the center of the May 20 episode of PBS’ American Masters – Mel Brooks. And when you consider the Woody Allen-worthy jazz soundtrack coursing through the promo below, it may also be time for The Woodman to cast Brooks in a movie. Before it’s too late, for either or both of of these Your Show of Shows alums.

The off-camera audience does well not to laugh at Brook’s effortless patter. Until the very end, when he gets them with a pertinent payday question. FishbowlLA can’t wait to watch all 100% of this one.
