I’ve found that fans of Young Frankenstein tend to be also fans of the classic 1930’s Universal horror movies — YF is almost an homage to that group of films.

That is an interesting hypothesis.

Back when I was in junior high, there was an independent station (now Fox) in San Francisco that had a Saturday night show, "Creature Features." It would play two B movies back to back, and between them include an episode of one of the old serials like Flash Gordon. On Monday, in school, the movies played on "Creature Features" were all anyone talked about.

According to Wikipedia, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the local show "Creature Features" beat out Saturday Night Live in that time slot. SNL was the number one show in the country at that time. I didn't even know about SNL, but I wouldn't miss Creature Features.

I love Young Frankenstein. I also love The Addams Family movie (but not the sequels--they lost the charm and became pure slapstick).

I totally remember Creature Features!

My dad raised me on that show.

Bob Wilkins! He would have an intermission and interview interesting people. He once had a guy on who was reincarnated as the planet Jupiter.

Saw night of the living dead on that show for the first time, blackula, creature from the black lagoon. It was on KTVU channel 2. The opening sequence was all-time great.
