Katt's comments on Fred MacMurray's character being "an insensitive bastard that wasn't even funny" was right on. That was a hilariously true description! I have to disagree on her view of MacMurray's and Colbert's performances though. I thought they were superb, especially Colbert's excellent comedic timing... - @Friday, February 5, 2016 12:34 AM
