1990 ABC. "Night of the Chopped Liver." Underrated New York high school nebbish sitcom. This third episode written by Ken Levine and David Isaacs. Directed by James Burrows. Show created by Richard Rosenstock. All of the short run of six episodes has become available on Youtube in the last year (one episode never aired.) Before that there was just one online. Enticing because the show was little seen but had cult appeal. Joshua Beckett, Gabriel Bologna, Bradley Gregg, Jennifer Salt, Meredith Scott Lynn. Grant Heslov is in this episode and both Ken Levine and David Issacs appear as Phil and Steve, guests at the wedding.
Marshall gets asked to go to a wedding and does all he can to get out of going because he wants to go to a Knicks game. He does not succeed. He does end up at the wedding, which is quite the affair. The introduction of Phil and Steve is awkwardly endearing. Grant Heslov is the groom, Mitchell, who hilariously looks just like Marshall. Marshall, Mitchell, Mitchell, Marshall. Very funny. Alan Blumenfeld as the wedding band leader is also funny because he keeps updating the Knicks score and Marshall is taping the game.
The Marshall Chronicles was one of the early favorite sitcom finds on Youtube that I made while doing the original TV research. This time good news as all but one episode is available. Good show. It deserves to be seen more.
