posty 2,613 Posted October 19, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/10/mel-brooks-variety-series-history-of-the-world-part-ii-hulu-1234857822/ The 1981 Mel Brooks film History of the World, Part I was never meant to have a sequel, but Deadline has confirmed Brooks’ high jinks across history will continue as part of an eight-episode variety series at Hulu. The writers room for History of the World, Part II will begin this month, and production will commence in spring 2022. “I can’t wait to once more tell the real truth about all the phony baloney stories the world has been conned into believing are History!” Brooks, who will write and executive produce, said in a statement. The big-screen original parodies various moments in history from the Roman Empire and Stone Age to the Old Testament and the French Revolution, among other periods. It starred Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Gregory Hines, Cloris Leachman, Mary-Margaret Humes and Sid Ceasar. Part II will also be executive produced by Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen and Kevin Salter. Searchlight Television and 20th Television are the studios. Variety reported new of the series order first today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,613 Posted March 10, 2023 Watched all eight episodes last night, kind of what I expected since Mel has a lot of other writers involved... There were a couple of funny lines in the early episodes, but as the series continued on, it was less funny... Overall I would give it a "D" or a "D+"... Been better off if this never happened...

Saw a review last night that pretty much says the same. 1st 3 episodes are good but it falls off a cliff after that. Reviewer mentioned that most people may have a hard time sticking with it after the first 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reviewer mentioned that most people may have a hard time sticking with it after the first 3. Totally agree with this review... I wouldn't say they were good, they were just better than the last portion of it... I stuck it out because I hoped that maybe there was a good skit in there, but it never happened... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
