Rushing from opposite sides of town to Beverly Hills after work, trying not to miss the 7pm start time, a time we usually are just getting out of work, my wife and I rushed through LA traffic, on our cell phones, trying to figure out where we could park our two cars and still be near each other for when the night ended. Finally getting to Melrose and La Cienega with fifteen minutes to spare, we got our tickets, hit the bathroom and grabbed some nice cheap BevHill drinks before the show. For her, a glass of Pinot Noir. Me, a Michelob. Both for the bargain price of $21 with tip. With drinks in hand, we made our way to our seats up in the balcony.
The night opened up with a clip of an interview with Chevy from the 70′s interview show “Inside The Comedy Mind” in which he declares he wouldn’t go back to television until his film career is waning. Yep, that was just about right. But thank god he ended up with these kids instead of most of the crap “comedies” on the tube these days. After the crap that we had to see him sink to in the years preceding “Community,” it’s so good to see him in his element again. Surrounded by talented funny people who push him to be creative again.
