The third installment of Adam Scott’s The Greatest Event in Television History ran last night on Adult Swim – a shot-by-shot remake of the opening credits of 80’s not-quite-classic sitcom Too Close for Comfort. As we already knew, it starred Scott, Catherine O’Hara, Jon Glaser, Chelsea Peretti, and Kathryn Hahn; it also featured Jason Mantzoukas, Seth Morris, Paul Scheer, and Jon Hamm. Be sure to check out Vulture’s side-by-side look at the original and remakes of the opening of Too Close for Comfort.
Scott has already announced that there will only be one more special of The Greatest Event – the next will air on January 23, 2014. He told Splitsider last month:
Yeah, it’s a lot of work for such a short, stupid thing, so that’s why I think we’re gonna wrap it up here after the next two. Just because it’s sort of a lot of work and stress for something that is ultimately pointless. They’re really fun and they’re fun to make, but we’re ready to move on.
Below, watch the first two episodes of The Greatest Event in Television History.
