Folks! with Tom Selleck and Don Ameche. A comedy about Selleck's parents suffering from senility and the wacky hijinks that ensue from their dementia. So funny I forgot to laugh.

Isn't this the one with the hilarious bit involving his parents trying to commit a double suicide for half the movie? Funny, funny stuff!
