Those of us old enough to remember when Martin Short was really funny (the SCTV days) know it was because of his characters. He never picked movies correctly in the 80's and 90's, and his career suffered for it. In "Glick" he has not only created a comedy masterpiece (I really DON'T remember the last time I laughed so hard at television) he's also returned to what he does BEST. The voice, the makeup, the guests, the strange revulsion/intrigue - it's amazing to watch. Finally - Martin Short is BRILLIANT again! And interestingly, it's just as funny with repeated viewings - primarily because there's so much going on with the Glick character. I'm a jaded viewer, hard to impress, but there's a reason why the "A" list comedians can barely keep a straight face during his interviews! This show is top drawer - I'm already recording it for fear it's too intelligently funny to last for long.
