I like to think that a person's name says a lot about the type of person he is. What was your name again?

The episode that I always think of is the one were Johnny and Venus were showing how alcohol effected people's reaction times and Johnny kept getting quicker the more he drank.

Fish Story.

And that episode was originally designed to be a flop.

I can't pull the link up here at work right now, but I believe if you look closely in each episode, Less Nessman has a band-aid or bandage somewhere. I remember reading something that right before the shooting for the first episode, he hit his head on a boom mic stand or something like that hit him in the head and they doctored him up and put a kiddie band-aid on it. Apparently it was such a kitschy thing that got noticed by some that they continued it unobtrusively throughout the rest of the episodes.

Yes, that was a running gag. Also, he demanded his own office, so you had to open an imaginary door if you wanted to talk to him at his desk.

On the wall of his "office" there was always a current calendar from one of our local radio stations.

I came in here to post this.

LOL I totally forgot about that.

That interview made me realize -I'm guessing the majority of this generation and probably at least half of my generation had never seen the Hindenburg disaster coverage of Morrison. Having seen that, it made the turkey episode even funnier. It was amazing writing to parody that disaster unoffensively. (Go ahead, try to be a sitcom writer & parody 9/11.)

If it was 2041 I might give it a shot, 40 years is some distance from the original event. Hopefully I will still be around to see them try.

Yeah, Andy and some others would knock by stomping on the floor. Great stuff.
