Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, The Mike Bryan Sextet, and The Bobby Hackett Sextet each perform live sets in this trio of films originally commissioned by the Goodyear Tire Company and shot on 35mm film with professional stereo sound. Though the original film elements would soon fade do to the use of an unstable film stock, Storyville Films has painstakingly restored these historical films to the best possible quality. Each of these three performances was recorded in New York City in 1962, and offers a look at three legendary performers in their absolute prime. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Unsatisfied with the negotiating tactics of his current, more laid-back agent, Larry (Garry Shandling) decides to go for the gusto in his upcoming contract negotiations by hiring a new, more aggressive agent who isn't afraid to deal with the network on his own terms. Guest stars include Barry Levinson, James Karen, John Pleshette, Tommy Newsom, Doc Severinsen, and Bob Odenkirk. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
Fatal Instinct is an Airplane-style spoof of the late-'80s, early-'90s cycle of erotic crime thrillers. Setting the plot in motion is a kinky murder. Armand Assante plays the cop assigned to the case; he's also the prosecuting attorney; the "Sharon Stone" part is essayed by Sean Young. A dash of Body Heat is thrown in the pot as Assante's wife Kate Nelligan plots her hubby's demise. Tony Randall has a bit as a judge, while the film's semi-mocking jazz score is provided by Clarence Clemmons -- who shows up on screen to toot his sax at various crucial plot junctures. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Norm (George Wendt) has long been sending comedy material to Johnny Carson, but hasn't ever made a sale. To save face, Norm tells Cliff (John Ratzenberger) that Carson has at last accepted a few of his jokes. This little white lie backfires when Cliff manages to wangle two tickets to The Tonight Show. Back at Cheers, Sam (Ted Danson) and Woody (Woody Harrelson) have a near-zen experience while putting up a satellite dish. Johnny Carson and Doc Severinsen appear as themselves. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Written and directed by Bonanza star Michael Landon, "The Younger Brothers' Younger Brother" is one of the series' zaniest episodes. It all begins when Hoss Cartwright is mistaken for one of the notorious Younger Brothers, who have recently resumed their criminal activities after a 12-year prison term. Thrown in jail, Hoss must depend upon Ben and Joe to bail him out-only to end up sharing a cell with his father and brother when they, too, are mistaken for Youngers. Meanwhile, the real Younger boys, led by Cole Younger (Strother Martin), demonstrate the monumental stupidity that landed them in the slammer in the first place. "The Younger Brothers' Younger Brother" first aired on March 12, 1972. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
