Evening Entertainment: Cloris Leachman and Jim Rash star in "Thanks," a pilgrim-era sitcom

Remember "Thanks," the sitcom set in the zany world of the American pilgrim era?  You may not, as you might have been busy during the six weeks that it aired, starting in August of 1999 and gone over two months before Thanksgiving.  Heck, Sarah Vowell even wrote about it and compared it to "The Crucible."  It does feature Cloris Leachman defending the plague, Oscar-winner and "Community" dean Jim Rash as a young chap who has bad hair (who gets the best moments) and Erika Christensen.  Here's episode two, with original commercials that should give you fond memories of  the Taco Bell chihuahua and Disney's INSPECTOR GADGET.  It's much better than you'd expect.
