    Unfortunately, none of this is very funny. It's unfair to compare Guzaldo and Riley with Wilder and Pryor, so let's do it. The latter were not at their best in the theatrical version of "Stir Crazy," but provided enough punch to make the movie at least watchable and occasionally amusing. And they also had chemistry. Guzaldo and Riley have no chemistry. Nor do they appear to be very funny actors. Maybe it's the material.

    Think of TV's Stir Crazy as only a slightly more sophisticated Dukes of Hazzard. ... If you really need this kind of "comedy" fix, my recommendation is to rent the movie once a week and watch it until the series is canceled. [17 Sep 1985]
