My local Public TV station used to air that. A fun series with great character interaction, tongue-in-cheek humor, and Emma Peel’s goofy '60s-TV martial arts techniques which were good for some laughs (or winces).

Re The Avengers, five seasons are available on the Roku Channel, and two seasons on Prime TV.
(These are from the good old days when a season was 26 episodes, so there’s plenty of brilliantly cheesy entertainment there.)

We’ve been enjoying Pluto TV, a free streaming app with some commercials, but the commercials are only like 30 seconds or so total. What makes it worth it are the channels – lots of fun stuff like old Doctor Who, Godzilla movies, MST3K, etc. – it’s live streaming, so you turn it on and you get whatever they are streaming on any given channel, but it’s FREE.

Something was bothering me about this episode: Who was the bloke what done the bloody good Michael Caine impression? So I went back and played the ending credits at quarter speed so I could actually read them. There is a lot of humor towards the end, such as:
Dr Z’s Wardrobe By
Carroll & Co.
On-Set Medic
Dennis Hopper
He Fell out of a Window
Anatoly Geraschchenko
That last one isn’t laugh-out-loud funny, but will keep the show out of the Russian Federation.
Anyway, the absolute last credit was
Needed a Check
Michael Caine
So I guess that was really him.

Nothing But Trouble (1991)
Dan Aykroyd (in multiple roles), John Candy (in multiple roles), Chevy Chase, and Demi Moore, along with Digital Underground and Tupac for the musical scene.
A businessman and his friends are captured by a sadistic judge and his equally odd family in a bizarre mansion in a backwater town and end up fighting for their lives to get free again.
It’s not a great movie, but it’s a fun little memory slice of the late 80s, early 90s. Set design was crazy good.

Just finished watching the original Twin Peaks series. It was a lot more coherent that I remembered it being. Maybe being able to stream it makes it easier to remember all the convoluted plot. There were a couple of positively beautiful scenes. I really appreciated that Parmount+ didn’t put many commercials in on some of the shows.

You might find these of interest…
Spoilers for the original show, the movie, and the sequel series, if you plan to watch the other two…

Shit, she died a little over a year after this, of cancer.
If the world had been more woman-friendly back in the 1950s…sigh. RIP, to the FIRST Janis. (come to think of it, it wasn’t all that woman-friendly during the 2d Janis’s time, either.)
Just found this…“I told ya I was a dirty old broad!” - I have a new heroine, just like that.
Oh, and try to convince me the lead guitar player doesn’t look like Newton! You won’t, lol.

I didn’t watch it back when it first aired; I was still a drunk then and it wasn’t the kind of show that bars in the Detroit would turn their TVs to. I’m not sure if I want to watch it and the related shows, as besides this review, I read an article that basically covered everything.
As an aside: What’s your favorite work by David Lynch? Mine is:
This and “Mulholland Drive” are all I’ve watched @kxkvi Forgive me for not viewing “Eraserhead” yet. I promise to watch it some time this year, LOL.
