DISQUS

It's been three days and I can't get the "Fatty & George" theme song out of my head.

Three days ago I was delighted to hear about F&G again after so many years.

Now I loathe you all.

Not only is Josh Lyman going to be Obama's chief of staff, but also, in Entourage news...

Ari Gold's brother is going to be chief of staff.

Big cheers for The Middleman. Wonderful rapid-fire humour, great homage/spoof combination, sensational straight acting by the two leads and maybe my favourite opening credit sequence of any show I've seen (excluding the Sopranos and Soap).

I submit that there should be an Emmy for credit sequences. Makes more sense than "Reality Host" anyway.

Back to topic - 6 episodes in, I love The Middleman! And so does the Lady D Boxcutter.

Ray Punjer is a dead-set legend. Wonderful work Boxcutters.

What impressed me about the Red Rooster ad was the disclaimer at the end. See Crikey for more.

Thanks Boxcutters! This week's ep was a real treat. Tom E and James T together plus some meaty news-related material to talk about. It doesn't get much better.

I just wanted to say that I could listen to Lawrence do Barry Jones for hours. A lot longer than I could listen to the real Barry Jones.

@ Jimbo, Back To You starts off pretty standard and declines from there in my opinion. Fred Willard, though, is wonderful.

Man! Where did those granola kids go? I just finished listening today as I'm only powered by Special K and the odd bagel.

Anyhow, I wanted to let you know that the Tim Ferguson interview was really interesting. I had totally forgotten about "Book". I also think Tim'd be a great candidate for the long-form interview when you guys get around to doing them again. I felt that there was more story to be told about each of his projects over the last X years.

The Lady D Boxcutter watched Emerald Falls the other night and gave it the thumbs up. I caught a bit of it and I actually quite liked the "dumb secrets" aspect. It gave it a bit of a folksy charm in a Hamish Macbeth kind of way.

Then again, I only saw about half an hour of it so maybe the effects vary with dosage.

Apology accepted. Nevertheless, I still feel the need to exact revenge. Petty, I know. But seeing as you are yet to catch up on this show...

Two and a half men: Season 5, Episode 10
Alan finds out that Charlie stole his girlfriend in high school, so he sets out to even the score.

Take that Kinal! Pow!

Ok, I'd just like to say thank you to the Boxcutters for bringing us this interview with Rob Brearley. It was great to be offered these glimpses into his background with Roving and the behind-the-scenes workings of producing a game show.

Your interviews are consistently of a high quality but this one just had that something extra. I feel like I've really been given some insight into the light entertainment side of the industry in a similar way that interviews with Jimbo offer the news correspondent side.

I look forward to you taking him up on his offer and bringing him back again. Oh, and I think this format for the summer break was inspired guys.

That is all.

Yay!

"Out of 35 episodes that have been nominated for "24," more than half -- 18 -- are from the first half of the season..."

Heh. Not exactly the most compelling statistic.

I have no idea how I missed that. Feeling a bit stupid and slow now.

In related Ice TV news...

Paul Higgins is back now (yay!) so any concerns the Lady D D and I had have now been allayed.

Nevertheless, my thanks to Ross for almost making an effort to answer my question.

catbrain beat me to it. Yup, that'd be the Malachi Crunch. Karachi Crunch, is a kind of "Bombay Mix" spicy snack I think. Karachi King is a kind of hockey stick. Bernard King was something else entirely.

I hope I've been of help.

Not as drastic as it sounds. Really.
