Experimental TV: Non-Fiction  

This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Sail, I thought the same thing! In fact, his little ad lib " something to talk about instead of hair" was great.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Like, how much rewritten?

I haven't seen enough of either one to really compare (people reeeeeally need to stop walking off with the DVDs!), but there was a series of posts on one of the biology blogs on ScienceBlogs a few weeks ago where people were complaining about Weaver's narration and the Brits were all confused because Attenborough's wasn't like that at all. I don't know how much was the new script and how much was just that David Attenborough makes everything sound smart.

Art Crawl!!!

to speak in English with a French accent, it would seem insulting

It's the Charla & Mirna plan for communicating in non-English speaking countries!!! (And yet, they supposed each speak multiple languages.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You know this is perfect: New Shear Genius tonight!

I wanted to have a special Ple commentary track on all the color disasters tonight.

Tabitha's a bitch but she nailed the color challenge and the cut. Anthony's style looked spot on. Evangelin did a great job. Jim was a disaster and deserved to be offed. Sweet guy, but obviously maintaining his client base with his personality instead of his skills. At least Daisy made her client look good.

Lacey's going to be the next to go. She hasn't done anything right at all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Damn, I forgot about Shear Genius. Have to look for reruns.

Project Runway was doing auditions in Chicago a week or two ago, so I don't think it'll be here any time soon.

I do love the way Bravo cycles its reality programming though. I just wish Top Design had been better.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I loved the pigeon experiment on Mythbusters but I expect the pigeon-trapping was purposely failed because I feel sure that San Francisco has plenty of regulations about what you can and can't do with wildlife. (I mean -- here in Somerville, you aren't allowed to trap or kill skunks and other backyard critters....)
