- Wacky Races -- Penelope Pitstop
Where Wacky Races outdid both was in having a large cast of colorful competitors, all designed by Jerry Eisenberg and Iwao Takamoto. The Compact Pussycat was driven by Penelope Pitstop, who was voiced by Janet Waldo (Judy Jetson). The Buzz Wagon was driven by Rufus Ruffcut, voiced by Daws Butler (Chilly Willy). The Bullet Proof Bomb was driven by The Ant Hill Mob, which consisted of Clyde, Ding-a-Ling, Zippy (no relation), Rockets, Snoozy, Softy and Yak-Yak, all of whom were voiced by Mel Blanc (who practically ran the Warner Bros. voice department single-handed). Ring-a-Ding Convert-a-Car was driven by Prof. Pat Pending, voiced by Don Messick (Pixie of Pixie & Dixie). - American Idol -- Judges
Last night, American Idol went to Dallas for its second audition episode, but things seemed a little, well, strange. The judges seemed to be going through the motions, the night’s big finish was an eight-minute attempt to bring the world the next William Hung, and a lot of the people who got through had auditions severely lacking the oft-discussed “wow factor.” Is everyone just tired? Could everyone just be exhausted after last year’s anticlimactic run–especially the viewing public? Fox won the night handily again, but ratings were down 19% from last year’s second episode. - Chris Farley -- Tommy Boy

Standard and Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital stereo Surround, French Dolby Digital stereo Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish; theatrical trailer. - Overstock -- Patrick Byrne
Against all odds, the story of Overstock continues to get worse. The company has been a laughing stock to almost anyone who can be bothered to think about it anymore. It’s the focus of an SEC investigation. It is run by a chief executive whose name—Patrick Byrne—long ago became synonymous with wacky conspiracy theories. It regularly deploys nasty tactics to defame reporters who dare mention its deterioration. An it’s bleeding directors. - Groucho Marx -- Bet Your Life
With his film career essentially over, the 60-year-old Groucho moved to a new medium - television - as the host of "You Bet Your Life," a comedy and quiz show that premiered in 1950 and ran for more than 10 years. Groucho started hosting "You Bet Your Life" on radio in 1947, and the show was popular more for Groucho's interviews with the contestants than for the actual question and answer portion of the show. Though Groucho never received any major awards during his film career, he won an Emmy in 1951 as "Most Outstanding Personality" for his work on "You Bet Your Life." The show was ... nominated for five Emmy awards, first as Best Comedy Show, and later as Best Quiz Show. In 1948, "You Bet Your Life" won a Peabody Award, which honors distinguished achievement and meritorious service in radio and television. - David Letterman -- New York

The experiment turned small, weak Steve Rogers into America's first super-soldier. He fought the Axis for years, but was thought dead in an Arctic explosion. His enhanced body survived & was actually frozen in suspended animation; he was thawed out decades later & entered a country he no longer understood, but continued to defend against the menaces threatening liberty & democratic principles. - Crowded House -- Band
Crowded House\'s self-titled debut didn\'t gain much attention upon its release in the summer of 1986, due to insufficient promotion from Capitol Records. In wake of the weak support from Capitol, the bandmembers took matters into their own hands. Rather than setting out on an expensive large-scale tour, the group took a more low-profile route, playing acoustic sets for industry insiders and for small crowds at ethnic restaurants and in record stores. This unorthodox approach began a buzz within the industry. On the talk-show circuit, they won over American and Canadian audiences with their charm and wit as well as their wacky antics. By February of 1987, the album broke into the American Top 40, eventually peaking at number 12.
