Ugh. I have a friend that worked on this show, and while he loved Tom Goes to the Mayor, he said this show was pretty much crap. It's apparently nothing like TGTTM, and more avant garde.

I hope that he's wrong, but I'm not getting my expectations up. Though, if it does turn out that you like it, you'll be pleased to know that it's all ready been picked up for a second season. Strange since the first season hasn't even aired yet. :confused:

Technically season one is more like half a season (10 episodes), so it's not a big extension.

I like this show and TGTTM too. Was this what was originally called "Let's Blow up the Moon"? Or was that something else?

That's something else, from the creators of Harvey Birdman.

All the episodes are available on youtube which is how I've been viewing them in Canada and I have to say this is just about the most random and awesome "sketch" show since Monty Python. I love it.

You can also watch them on adultswimfix.com . YouTube compresses them a bit more.

Don't forget (all paraphrased but very, very close to the truth: )

- "You would never say 'use your calves,' nobody is that specific. It's 'use your legs.'"
- "Well this guy, see, he's yelling at the kids, screaming, he doesn't sound like a very good coach." "Uh, he's not a good coach. That's the joke." "What? That's not funny. That's not real."
- To the producer: "These guys, they can't write. This loving sucks. The past sense of the words and the future sense of the words are coming in at bad angles, and the sentences are not reaching the emotion."

Also, Gary Busey poured himself a glass of mango juice at one point and missed the glass, pouring juice all over the rug. He then proceeds to return to his script while casually GRINDING THE JUICE INTO THE CARPET WITH HIS FOOT. Eric's only commentary was "Imagine how sticky his floors at home are."

Tim says that off-camera, later, he "fired" him again for putting his feet on his own coffee table. The man is CRA-ZEE.

At Comic Con last summer Tim was trying to recall those moments with Gary Busey, but then realized he was a few seats away from Adam de la Pena, who traveled with him on "I'm With Busey." Adam said he'd give Tim some pointers on how to work with Gary.

I was wondering WTF was up with the MIDI skit, then I realized it was probably a jab at the RIAA. That is, everything that makes recorded music worthwhile has been made illegal, and the only music they can listen to is ancient public domain recordings.

Also, "douchebag".

I didn't interpret it that way it all. It was just another one of their jokes about old technology.

The episode taping went great. We were part of an audience in the final sketch of the sixth episode. Lots of energy was required, as we had to do multiple takes of clapping, clapping harder, laughing, and laughing hysterically and jumping out of our seats. All in that theater with no AC. We also got to meet the guest star of the episode, Robin Williams.

Great stuff, Tim in 2 Dark Boys looked awesome.

I saw 3 potential goons in the crowd, neckbeard, skinny kid next to neckbeard, and guy with bands behind Eric. My guess is livingfruit virus is #3.

I'm not any of them, but I was one of the guys reaching out to touch Eric.

Also, there's some stuff they shot I wish they would've used. For example, in one of the takes when we were told to laugh hysterically, the black lady in the front row stands up and spins around arms-in-the-air like she's just had a revelation.
