Did you see it? Punch Drunk Billy History
Thanks to Paul Hutton and my son calling me moments before it came on, I watched last night's Wild West segment of the new show Drunk History. They smashed (literally and figuratively) the story of Billy the Kid, The Alamo and Davy Crockett with a drunk narrator (really, really drunk) slurring the stories and then they have goofy re-enactors mouthing perfectly the drunk narrator's speech. It's pretty much a one-trick-pony, but Kathy really enjoys it. I, of course, was cringing too much at the mangled history ("So Garrett, like, goes to this farm house where the Kid is inside and he, like shoots a horse and moves it in front of the door. . ."). Curious to know what you all think.
