It was awful and only lasted a few weeks, but the only thing they changed was some of the slang. The first episode used the same script as the British original, but it wasn't half as funny. I don't think any sitcom remake could live up to my nostalgic childhood memories, but I'd love to see an updated <i>Family Ties</i>. Sha-la-la-la!

We decided that any sitcom remade during the Civil War could be either potentially awesome (M*A*S*H) or horrifyingly bad (The Love Boat). We also decided that we'd like to see Bob Saget from his stand up take the place of his character in Full House. Think about how much more entertaining that show could be with some raunchiness and nasty humor. At the very least, it might be more bearable. And now that I've spent far more time thinking about Bob Saget than is healthy for anyone, I'm going to shut up. :| Been mulling over these topics since last week and had a lengthy conversation about it with my buddy Moose over the weekend.

Towards the end of the podcast, please announce to the listening public the title and artist of the song that you guys play. I had to do an EXTENSIVE search to finally find "She's Dead" by Jim's Big Ego. I'm talking a good few hours before I was finally able to find out that information. That would be helpful. A few ideas for the sitcom remake. WKRP in Cincinnati. Get Jamie Pressley to play Lonnie Anderson's character. Another idea would be Three's Company. Although, I've struggled with trying to find someone who does physical humor to the same level that John Ritter was able to accomplish. There is something that I would like to propose to you.

Most would end up in the sauce to cook all day, but man, those first ones right out of the pan...I don't care how old I get, it was the best way to wake up, ever. I shared the audio clip w/ my Mom and Sis and they got a laugh out of it. Unfortunately, I now have to wait until I visit at Christmas for the annual 'spend all day cooking Italian stuff day'. Damn.

The entire dynamic of Hogan's Heroes where the prisoners always pull off their risky scheme almost flawlessly would be completely reversed to where you have them trying to pull of the most convoluted stunt in the most depraved way possible and utterly failing at achieving anything. Bonus points if their antics end up creating an alternate timeline in which Germany wins World War II.

I would like to see Fawlty Towers again; but maybe that's just because I thought the show never had enough seasons in the first place. If they can't get John Cleese back for it, maybe Eddie Izzard could play Basil?

Since your comedy is occaisionally current events-based, I expect to hear you guys on 'Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!' someday. If the Comfort Food segment continues its popularity, I could also imagine a guest spot on 'The Splendid Table'. BTW, My comfort food would have to be my mom's meatloaf.
