normal blogging will now resume...
we'll pretend it's tuesday... (to the point where i've cheated and changed the date...)
another day where nothing much has happened. a 7 dog day with some quality kimchat. i've found out that we have a new starter in the call centre on may 20th, so hopefully i can start my new job early in june. i'm getting very antsy, waiting for the day when i'm no longer chained to my desk by the headset.
Reunited and it feels so good!
Tuesday at 9/8 central CBS is running the 159th episode of one of it's classic TV series: The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited. This episode was written 40 years later, with all the surviving cast members in it. This will be an actual episode, with the actors in character, not just actors sitting around reminiscing about the good old days.
Bill Persky, the show's writer-producer, said in TV Guide: "Everybody's memory was not what it was. We could remember a joke from 40 years ago, but we couldn't remember whether we decided to do a scene this way or that way. Everybody had something they almost remembered, so when we were looking for a title, I came up with The Dick Van Dyke Show Almost Remembered. The comic timing was terrific - except when they couldn't hear anything. There was a lot of "What? What? What?" The greatest below-the-line expense was for hearing aid batteries."
On that note, how do you feel about reunion shows?
1. What show would you like to see brought back for an hour or two episode, to see how the characters are doing now? (This should be a show that it might be possible to do a reunion on.) the young ones. would they have jobs yet? somehow, i doubt it...
2. Pick a show that could not realistically be brought back for a reunion, because some or all of the cast members are gone. What if they could have done a reunion before it was too late? Name the show you'd most like to see. number 96 - the man who played alf sutcliffe used to be my landlord back in 1983 when i lived in rozelle.
3. Which reunion show have you watched and thought "Wow, they should have left that one alone!" i cannot say that i have ever watched a reunion show of any sort, so i cannot answer this question...
~Bonus~ Which do you prefer- a "reunion" episode of the series, or a "cast reunion" where the actors sit around and talk about the making of the show? definitely a 'reunion' episode.
