Chevy Chase made it look so easy to fake clumsyness. He's almost your honorary token celebrity, isn't he?
He should have made PSAs.
"Hi I'm Chevy Chase. I'm not a clumsy person, but I play one on TV."
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

I suggest Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People
It's a funny title, but I think I'm missing the joke. Could someone explain?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It's a line from the last episode. It went something like this:
Danny: So it's an S&M club.
Mel: No Danny, it's a support group for very clumsy people.

Hee. Thanks aurelia! I'm following the Minearverse thread 'cause Tim so totally rocks, but I haven't been able to catch The Inside yet, so, yeah, I suck. </Natter>

I like Clumsy People.
I am Clumsy People. This title gets the thumbs up from me (assuming I don't sprain them in the attempt).

We're less than 100 away from needing a new Minearverse thread, and the episode just started on the west coast.
Wheee!

What is even happening?
I know "Support group for clumsy people" is likely to take it for Minearverse 4, but in case some folks are still luke-warm on it, or, as a pre-emptive strike for Minearverse 5, I'd like to throw this in the ring:
From Minearverse (posted by Tim):
One last thing. I will mention one person who does seem to get it... of course he's had a chance to see more than the critics, and that's Peter Liguori, the pres of the network. He called me Monday to tell me that he wanted to air two originals back to back, and wanted to do it on the 6th so there would be time for it to show up in the listings. He told me he'd been thinking a lot about the show, that he couldn't shake it, that this was a "testament to my illness," he said he didn't think it was something you could sell in ten minutes, called it all kinds of nice things, said it was a much better show than it was performing, and that he hadn't given up on it. So that's good.

I think someday, one of the Minearverse threads needs to be called:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
