These days, Disney is know for big budget blockbusters like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and numerous animated hits. Back in the day, Disney made tons of corny B-comedies starring former TV stars and up-and-coming actors...like Kurt Russell.
Next Friday, classic cheesefest "The Barefoot Executive" airs at 3 p.m. (CST) on HMN.
How's this for a plot? Russell plays a mailroom clerk for a TV network who discovers a chimp who has a knack for picking hit TV shows! Honestly, this sounds cooler than the upcoming "Rise of the Planet of the Apes!"
I have not seen this in many years, but it used to be a staple on NBC's "Wonderful World of Disney" back in the 1970s (along with clunkers like "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" and "Superdad."
