DENNIS MILLER AND FRIENDS
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Fridays in prime time this month are devoted to “Dennis Miller and Friends.” The good news is that Miller invites a different friend each week, to show and discuss favorite films. (The better news: none of them is showing Miller’s Bordello of Blood.) Tonight, Miller’s guest is Martin Short – and that star’s cinematic Short list is an impressively intelligent roster. The Marx Brothers’ 1933 anti-war romp, Duck Soup, starts things off at 8 p.m. ET. And that’s followed by Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 anti-war masterpiece, Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (pictured), at 9:30 p.m. ET. After that, at 11:15 p.m. ET? The 1948 monster-comedy mash, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
