Drinky Crow, nsm, though Bob's brother voiced the whale.
Really? I loved Drinky Crow and the whale was excellent. Emmett declared it "Very disturbing." Then again, I'm a big fan of the comic Maakies.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Experimental TV: Comedy
This thread is part of an experiment to determine Buffistas' interest in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which there will be a brief skirmish to sort out what we want to do next. This thread is for discussion of all comedy, regardless of airing station. [NAFDA]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The local news promo told me that was an actual Local Couple on HIMYM. Of course, they told me before the scene aired, but still.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It didn't appeal to me at all...if it gets picked up, Bob has been asked to pitch for it, so I hope I figure it out before then.

Really? (again) Because it doesn't seem that far away from Sealab in the outrageousness of its humor and it also has a nautical theme.
Did you ever read the comic?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Of course, they told me before the scene aired, but still.
Yeah, that was not great timing.
Regarding HIMYM, I've heard unfortunate rumors that it might not get picked up for another season -- its numbers aren't terrible, but apparently one of the new higher-ups at CBS just doesn't like the show and wants it off the air. I guess we'll know tomorrow after CBS upfronts.

The Futon Critic has it on the list as an undetermined fate for the next season.

Art Crawl!!!
I've heard the HIMYM is on the bubble too. CBS upfronts are tomorrow. Perhaps we'll hear leaked information before then.

Heh -- somehow, I don't think a lack of suits is the problem. We should send blue French horns!
