Back in the Stone Age of cable television, this was one of the few programs that worked as enjoyable, reliable nightly entertainment. You could depend upon it when you tuned in. Good times.
"Night After Night" aired opposite the "Tonight Show" and snagged a younger (and much smaller) audience. It deserves to be released on DVD. I would gladly pay to see it again. Allan Havey never found a better outlet for his talent.
The Audience of One was a cute bit that worked well. I also thought the running gag with Dave, the weird Weather Guy, was priceless. The banter between Nick Bakay and Allan was comparable to that of Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon, or David Lettermen and Paul Shaffer.
"Night After Night" is sorely missed.

I remember seeing this broadcast but could never find *any* information about it. I was delighted to finally come across this entry on IMDb. Since it was a short subject for television I just figured it slipped through the cracks. It would be truly amazing to get a copy of "The Cube" on DVD. This quest is much more challenging than tracking down copies of "The Lathe of Heaven" and "The Silent Twins".
Since this is a Jim Henson project it may actually see the light of day. I must have been about ten years old when I saw "The Cube". About the same time I saw my first PG movies, "The Dunwich Horror" and "Scream and Scream Again". I am not nostalgic, but all these films left an impression.

We saw this today and enjoyed it very much. Kudos to Jon Favreau, Will Ferrell and cast for presenting a light-hearted and touching comedy for the holiday season. This movie rises heads and shoulders above earlier attempts at holiday fare (Santa Clause(s), Jingle All the Way, Grinch - Argh!) Elf is an instant classic. The tone reminds me of "A Chirstmas Story" and Favreau knows how keeps the pace of the film moving right along. There are a couple of minor sub-plots in addition to the main story and they all work. Ferrell plays the Elf character sincerely and dead-on target which allows us to buy into the film's premise without any qualms. I am not sure if I would want to see Elf 2, but I will keep an eye on Will Ferrell and Jon Favreau. Also, be sure to watch Favreau's series, "Dinner for Five" on IFC!
