Jesse April 22, 2016 Share April 22, 2016 I'm just glad to hear this topic as a thing that is common knowledge. I feel like every so often, I tell someone I wanted to shoot the tv, Elvis-style, and they just look at me like I'm nuts. Not nuts! 1 Link to comment

Kip April 22, 2016 Share April 22, 2016 I'm going to go Doctor Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for my MD, because future tech and he is a genetic engineered super genius on top of that. If your going to sue than who would be better than Lilah Morgan from Angel? With the resources from Wolfram & Hart in this dimension alone would make them nearly unbeatable, but they are interdimensional with the power to literally move Heaven and Earth for me. Aslan from The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe (There was a TV movie) would be the best spiritual guide, and he could protect my soul from Wolfram & Hart. 1 Link to comment
John Potts April 22, 2016 Share April 22, 2016 I couldn't decide which of the ER Docs to fix me up: my odds are worse in that I'm not an adorable moppet/love interest so I wouldn't get Doug's attention. Hopefully I'd have some interesting injuries so I'd get "Rocket" Romano (before he lost his hand) - he wouldn't give a damn about me, but he'd care about showing off his skills in putting me back together (and I presume I'm unconscious for his attentions, so his abrasive personality wouldn't bother me). To sue the other driver - David Lee from The Good Wife. Again, he doesn't feed you any warm fuzzy feelings, he's just a ruthless operator, but he'd get me more $$$. But after all that ruthless pragmatism, I'd like somebody more soothing to counsel me back to health - so I'd go for Pastor Tim from The Americans. - a guy who was not only capable of counselling somebody through their parents' divorce but is courageous enough to face down an angry Philip Jennings when he'd broken into his house late at night (particularly given the complete monsters I'm surrounding myself with!)

Qoass April 22, 2016 Share April 22, 2016 Christina Yang/Grey's Anatomy for my doctor, Not only is she accomplished, she wouldn't indulge in happy chit chat which is a plus to me. Michael Kusak/L.A. Law for my lawyer. Cute, dedicated, usually wins. Old Lady God from Joan of Arcadia as played by Kathryn Jooston for my spiritual advisor. Is it cheating to go straight to the top? Link to comment

David T. Cole April 23, 2016 Author Share April 23, 2016 Hmmm, not sure why you are not seeing it Valny, it is definitely there. You should try unsubbing and resubbing to EHG in iTunes. Link to comment
bbrazeau April 24, 2016 Share April 24, 2016 MuuMuuChainsmoker images reminded me of something I'd been meaning to make for the last couple of years from EHG mark 1. Tagline - This summer Michael Moore turns up the heat...in SPACE! 1 Link to comment
Jesse April 24, 2016 Share April 24, 2016 (edited) I went looking at lists of TV doctors, and realize I would take Dr. Mark Sloan, and don't care much whether it's Dick Van Dyke from from Diagnosis: Murder, or Eric Dane from Grey's Anatomy, but I kept scrolling and was reminded of Andre Braugher on Gideon's Crossing! I pick him. For the lawyer, Jessica Pearson from Suits. Badass. Definitely Rev. Sidney Chambers from Grantchester for the spiritual help. For mostly non-spiritual reasons....

April Bloodgate April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 I love how 99% of the posts in this thread are suggestions for Dave's roller-derby name. It's like there was nothing else in the entire 95-minute podcast! 1) Derby is awesome. 2) I haven't watched any of the new Kimmy Schmidt episodes, so I had to skip that part of the podcast. I'm sure I'll have plenty to say on that once I'm caught up. BTW, how many episode of the season do they cover? Link to comment
Actionmage April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 Porthos, from Star Trek :Enterprise, needs to be taken away from Captain Archer. Half the time, the poor pooch is neglected because of captain-ing. (Then you have the documented proof of abuse in the reboot movies, but that's a whole other thing.) I would give Porthos to Ralph Dineen, of Scorpion. He's a genius kid. He would be devising excellent ways to play with Porthos. He could- as network-mate Sherlock Holmes did earlier this season- figure out a more efficient/nutritious food mix for Porthos. Plus, his mom, dad, and surrogate family seem to always be somewhere far away for chunks of Ralph's day/week. Having a more consistent companion should be helpful in keeping things smooth for Ralph. (IIRC, Ralph prefers familiarity, but that might have been Paige.) Link to comment
Monty April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 I would take Stampy the Elephant away from Bart Simpson. I know he only had an elephant for most of one episode, but all the episodes kind of take place at the same time, so it's still kind of current. Then I would give the elephant to Gob Bluth so he can have a big, glitzy Las Vegas show to compete with Siegfried and Roy, but with a psychotic elephant. And hilarity, I imagine, would ensue, 2 Link to comment

Actionmage April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 My Preferred: Doctor: Christina Chang (Sandra Oh, Gray's)-- Because Chang is results oriented. She'll see what's wrong and fix it. As her head nurse? Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit, M*A*S*H), because she was the best nurse you could find on the front lines. Equally tough-but-fair women whose goal was to make you as well as humanly possible. Lawyer: Caroline Julian ( Patricia Belcher, Bones)--Cherie? You oughtn't have done that, but you're an adult and will be made to pay restitution like one. Because Caroline is the best. Second chair? Foggy Nelson ( Elden Henson, Daredevil). Spiritual Guidance: Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert, The Unit)-- Jonas would get you back on your feet, physically. He'd understand the role of medication, but not allow you to think about abusing it. If you are lucky, he'd give you a number to call and so if you needed to talk, you could reach him. (What? He's got a very nice voice.) Link to comment

Aethera April 28, 2016 Share April 28, 2016 That was my favorite game time of recent memory. Terrific, and best of all, something where I knew most of the answers despite never having watched some of the shows that pop up over and over in Game Time. So good; nice work Rob Hartman! 2 Link to comment

Kip April 28, 2016 Share April 28, 2016 Ellie Kemper and Terry Crews should have a talk show for audiences under a hundredy, they would be super awesome together and would be up for anything.

SnideAsides April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 Yeah, I was considering doing a multi-round "Themes and Variations" quiz with a bunch of different takes on the TV Theme Quiz concept, and then both "deadpan spoken lyrics" and "themes in reverse" turned up within a few episodes of each other. Sigh. "The Looooove Goat... soon will be eating another caaaan..." 2 Link to comment
Actionmage April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 Fictional folks: Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster as Frank and Sadie Doyle hosting a morning show. Real folks: Andy Roddick, the tennis player, and Jerry O'Connell, the actor. Both guys seem cool and silly, which can be helpful in the AM. As someone to be a bit more serious- but still playful- add Tracee Ellis Ross. -or- Eva Longoria, Monique, and Ice-T. They would bring such a 'what's gonna happen today?!' vibe that could be fun.

In my case, I submitted the game a few years ago, and Dave said "I'm going to save this game for a special occasion," and as far as I know, he's still saving it. So my game hasn't aired, so it's not like Rob Hartman stole my idea. We both came up with the idea independently. He just did a better job. Link to comment
John Potts April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 (edited) Sure, I didn't want it to sound like I was complaining. Nobody's poaching my ideas (unless Dave is leaking what I send in to other people... for some reason) - there's only so many TV related game that you can come up with so duplication is inevitable. But I'm still not saying what my next Game is! Also, nice to know that the lag between submitting a Game to its appearing on EHG (around 2 months or so) is considerably shorter than the lag between making a Canon submission (about 2 years, apparently!)

profreader April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 Ron Howard was in VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS (you can find the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version on YouTube) which is a trippy, trippy delight. Ron Howard plays a kid called "Genius" who invents some kind of goo that makes everything huge. Local "crazy wild teens" get hold of it, and before you know it, you have a giant shirtless Beau Bridges and some Sharon Tate lookalikes ruling the town. It's campy and funny but also sort of disturbing... I would be up for seeing Nick's "Hanging with the Batz" take on vampires... just no more angsty-romance vamps. Link to comment
Jael April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 Succubus fans rejoice: the show "Lost Girl" (aired in the US on SyFy, currently streaming on Netflix) centers on one of those. And yes, it is largely an excuse to have lots of sexual content -- though it's network-level, so really just lots of shirtless making out. But the show hauls out a lot of myths and creatures (werewolves! sirens! furies! Baba Yaga!) under the broad heading of "fae", so it's fun if that's your interest. 1 Link to comment
Kristen April 29, 2016 Share April 29, 2016 (edited) It had more of a cult following, but the lead character in Lost Girl (which just ended actually, so there's some space to fill) was a succubus, and that resulted in a lot of the sexxay. ETA: Ah, @jael beat me by two minutes! haha Edited April 29, 2016 by Kristen typo 1 Link to comment
