It wasn't a spoof, but I thought the violence in The Last Man
Standing was over the top.
In The Red Hot Typewriter, John D. MacDonald and his editor
talk about ways to give the books of the series--he wrote
three before he published one--a continuity, and discussed
letters, numbers, and colors. Colors won. To me, the color in
individual titles has no particular influence on subject, or
theme, of the book. It wasn't programmatic.
John D. MacDonald liked the movie Victor Nunez made of A
Flash of Green.
