I can't figure out how Dave and Tara and I have all seen it and Sarah hasn't (or doesn't remember). Maybe Sarah was just a kid who didn't watch Sesame Street regularly, or maybe they only showed this bit in Canada? . . . I'm sure there's another explanation.
She said The Electric Company, so I imagine she has seen it but just didn't place it in the right title of the franchise. (Sarah's TV watching was very limited during her childhood.)
Oh, I missed the TEC reference! Gotcha.
-
Sesame Street was one of the few shows I was allowed, but the sketches on that and TEC all run together for me now.
Ah, yeah. That makes more sense than my "theory."

Oh man, I LOVE that Pointer Sisters counting song from the end of Game Time! Such great 1970s grooviness, and I'll always love the sweet animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUL4T8WcFdA

[Jumping in here before I've watched the show or read the recap]
"Hooray!!"
I'm so excited that the Fug Girls are back with the TWoP gang, recapping *at length!* It's all making me very happy. Praise be to Rae Dawn Chong!-

Great show, you guys! That Nonac music made me laugh so hard my coworkers were concerned for my health!

"WEAVE WEAVE WEAVE WEAVE!" [I seriously need that as a ringtone]
You all are total champs. Great job on the show. -
The double Dave-Hate segments reminded me: Have you guys ever talked about how the "Will Dave Hate This" song came to be? I've always found it to be a really catchy, fun tune, and I'd love to know more -- Is it based on another song? How did you record it (i.e. why does Tara's voice sound far away/old timey)? What are those lyrics?
Thanks! -
Feel better, Dave! Vendreddy-three forever!

Re: Love & Hate -- Wow, you guys. what a journey! There was some *major* thespianing in those clips. I'm the same age as Tara and I'm from Regina, so your examination of the movie was a total time-machine experience. Thanks for enduring the hours of shitty YouTube clips for my benefit!
I don't remember ever watching this movie but, like Tara, I was pretty steeped in the story as the trial was taking place. I think by the time the film came along, I felt like I knew the whole saga and didn't need to watch it on tv.
The whole story still makes me pretty uneasy, especially since Thatcher's out and about in the community these days. Uch, what a creep. -
Not germane to the show, but: that's some seriously janky photoshop work in the promo pic. The dog-holding fella seems to have dislocated his left leg.

I've been waiting all week (since Tara tweeted about watching the episode) for the Nonac, and it did not disappoint. Solid episode choice and presentation! Of course, the Nonac theme is always a complete and ridiculous delight.
I was shocked at how many of those 1-second theme songs I recognized. I know those songs on a molecular level.
The one I drew a total, not-even-a-single-guess blank on: 90210. O_o -
Truly one of the great KITH classics.
"But I can 'splain!"
"No, Ray. No . . . 'splanation is necessary, it's your drinking."
Also, I just now realized that all the bartenders in the ending montage are the same guy.-

Moose Jaw is perfectly charming, Jeff. Don't listen to Dave.

Oh man, you're so right Sarah: Team Haverchuck forever. The photo of him at the top of this page makes my heart hurt.
And if there's still online evidence of the Joe-hugs-Busy shenanigans, a link in the show notes would be so uplifting. -
Bradley Whitford's impersonation of John Slattery is uncanny!
-
Aw, that's a sweet story. Seth is vibrating and delirious with emotion.
My brother is also named after his grandmothers. We're a family of mostly women -- my mom has three sisters, and all four of them had a bunch of girls until my brother came along. I've always admired the subversive commentary of naming the first boy after the family matriarchs.

Adele gives such good face. Her expression when James hits the harmonies on "Hello" (at 1:26) is excellent. She is so lovely and tells him, "That was amazing!" His reaction is perfect. I could listen to her tell drinking stories all day.
I love that James is so obviously a huge fan of music. Watching him driving and singing (and crying), I like to hope that I look that good when I do the same, though I likely skew more "hopelessly deranged" than "having the best time."
-
Oooh, that clip set my heart a-flutter! The cast, the costumes, the styling, the sets -- I am here for all of it.
-
It was amazing to hear that outro again! Like Tara, I had forgotten how long that bit went on. Vindaloo Babysnack is my new favourite. Thank you for making me laugh till I cried (at my desk, of course).

I'd like to subscribe to Ellie's podcast about the museum in the basement, please.

...So seventeen seconds of dead air?

Not for nothing, but Bon Cop, Bad Cop is actually pretty funny. Colm Feore (the bon cop) and Patrick Huard (le bad cop) are well-cast and likeable. It deals in a shit tonne (sorry, not sorry) of stupid cliches,and it's kinda dumb, but it doesn't take itself seriously at all.
And it features a fabulous scene where Huard conjugates, with several physical examples, a ridiculously long list of the ways to use various Quebecois curses like "hostie," "tabarnac," and "calice."
I have a strange soft spot for the swears of Quebec, so I find it delightful.-

Chiming in to add to the Nonac love. It's always great to hear you all talk about the things you like on tv, but I am equally happy to listen to an enthusiastic pile-on for the stuff you think is craptastic. The "oh, and ANOTHER thing" discussions are always really fun.
Plus the theme music is just the best. The pauses between the musical phrases always make my stomach clench because I'm tricked into thinking the piece is over, but then there's more and I am overjoyed. Works for me every time. I'll never get tired of Dave's anguished howl of laughter he can't contain, Tara's "is he really broken forever this time?" nervous giggle, Mark's delighted cackle, and Sarah's breathless "oh, jesus" at the end. I just listened to it again. So much joy.

I would watch Sarah's Tired Detective show. Sounds more engaging than what I'm hearing about s2 True Detective.
Also, please sign me up for the Dracula Minis.

Related to the "show about the bananas world of a famous person" of The Other Two, there was a very short-lived show on Vice called What Would Diplo Do, in which (your fave and mine) James Van Der Beek plays Diplo. It was an engaging and entertainingly goofy show and JVDB once again gets to demonstrate his excellent sense of humour.
