A New Public Service

I think we can all acknowledge how good McNeil is at finding pointless YouTube "clips." So from now on we're going to present a new one each and every day. What McNeil enjoys about today's "clip" is the "kittenish way" (McNeil's memorable phrasing) that Dean Martin curls up on the couch... and Martin's utter and apparent indifference to everything - especially the fact that he is on television. He is also happy that nothing Robert Mitchum says in the "clip" is intelligible and - palpably - no one cares. McNeil wishes that there were TV shows nowadays that displayed the same open and appropriate lack of effort. In the future, we believe we will let McNeil's "clips" speak for themselves, with no leading annotation.
