Those ones were weird. I think the strike made them cut the originally intended series finale from season 6 and then they had to commit to making a bunch more seasons to get an any episode order, or something. And then I dunno maybe Braff started a meth habit or something.

People falling for the great trailer trick for TV shows is still better than people falling for a "great" trailer for a videogame though. I remember way back when people were falling over themselves to pre-order Dead Island based on the trailer.

It's amazing

Or watch any of the thousand lets plays on youtube (or the other thousand Lenister LPs). The first and second video will give you a good enough idea of what you're meant to do.

Yeah. An audience would make it so much better.

I saw a double-header of HMS Pinafore and Trial by Jury on the Australian ABC a few years ago, stage show, not televised live, but Anthony Warlow was in the lead for both of them and he has a fantastic voice. So they should do that.

Nah, he just Fonzie-tapped it. Works every time if you know it will.

Speak for yourself.

Malls?

Everybody did get killed by the Cee-Lo hot tub, so there's that.

BTW, the fact that disqus doesn't have a PM function ruined the joke.

Bert is a character on Trophy Wife, the new sitcom on ABC starring Malin Ackerman. He is played by a small child, and like all child characters in sitcoms since time immemorial, delivers lines that a room full of writers spent hours on in that child-actor lisp/shout. It is apparently cute. The WOT author has clearly…

You're welcome.

Yeah, and that's one of the reasons they can pay so highly if they're successful. Unless they're super hot, nobody is going to want to hire somebody that has made any sort of allegation against their employers in case it happens again.
