So are all the commentaries drunken commentaries, or is specific one(s)?

My season 2 discs arrived today. I think I need to watch the Two Live Crew episode with commentary, but I'd love to know the drunken one(s) if they are specific.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm only in by three episodes, but as far as I can tell, they're at least a little lit on all of them. I think they find that's one of the best parts of doing commentaries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can hear beer cans opening in #2 and #3, for sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I finally watched Justified, and was coming in to say stuff about Walton Goggins on Fresh Air. She asked if Boyd was really (a) a white supremacist and (b) born again. He said no to the first -- because he wouldn't play the character if he actually was, and wouldn't answer the second -- he said he didn't think the writers knew either, when they started, but they do now. That dude was fascinating, and I love hearing people's real voices. Unrelatedly (except it was also on Fresh Air), I forgot how different Jerry Orbach's voice was from Lennie Brisoe's.

TiVo refuses to record Justified for me. It's weird. I have to manually force it, so I'm behind.

Oh, just started the commentary for The Fairy Godparents Job, and they start off by announcing what they're drinking. I won't spoil you, but Frakes is classy and shit.

Yeah, I heard one cracked at the beginning of the Two Live Crew Job. And OMG do they love that episode. Maybe more than I do, which is saying something.

Heh. Need to watch that commentary then. Frakes has done good work for them.

I haven't even finished the S1 commentary! I am a slack fan. But I think I'm going to finish S2 and go back to S1.

It's interesting how they completely mix actor and character names when they talk, even in a group--I can't deduce rhyme or reason to it. Though John at least cited alcohol once as an excuse, but they flop back and forth all the time.

The season two gag reel is hilarious. And plays into a few fan obsessions in interesting ways.

It was also interesting to see the panel discussion.

Does anyone else remember a show called Moloney, about a psychiatrist, that was on in, I think, the 1990s sometime? I want to get a copy of the run, but it's not on DVD (of course). I have it on videotape, but it's fast deteriorating.
