Sorely missing Harris

Mauser just doesn't cut it. He was fine in PA2, just as a change of pace, but I watched PA3 earlier today for the first time in a long time and thought how much I would've liked to see Harris in the adversarial role.

Yeah, they would've had to come up with a reason why Harris had his own academy, but that would be easy enough. I mean, it would be more believable than Mauser running an academy. Harris could have joined a rival academy after the humiliation he suffered in PA, but then needed to return to Lassard with his tail between his legs at the end of PA3, setting up his return to Lassard's academy in PA4.

Mauser rules. As does Harris. Both are equally hilarious in my opinion, and I might even give the edge to Mauser at times. We're lucky to have the variey of the two brilliant actors doing those roles, not unlike the brilliant comedy variety of The Ropers and Mr. Furley on Three's Company. I think they are very much on the same level of great.
