Posted: 10/1/08 at 3:01pmCute! I was actually walking by when they were doing the voter reg part...but I didn't see myself. When I saw that I was like "I totally remember seeing some people doing what looked like voter registration the other night." But who it was didn't click at the time. Too funny!

Posted: 10/1/08 at 3:04pmThis was the last episode,I think. I'm going to miss this series. Good luck to Jake and the rest!

Posted: 10/1/08 at 3:12pmit's the end of the season. not the end of the series. depending on what happens with Jake's future jobs, we could be seeing ANOTHER season.

Posted: 10/1/08 at 4:09pmI thought that this was the second best episode of the season, with the first best being the premiere (in January). It kind of lost its track in the middle, but finished strong. Guest stars were great for the finale as well, especially miss ripley.

Posted: 10/1/08 at 4:25pmThe closing number was just a rehash/reprise of the first song in the series which would have been fine if they made it better or something, but they didn't. I'm just not a fan of this thing. Only the guest stars. Now that Clay is out I hope Jake can find his way out of his closet, maybe get a kid and find something better to do with his time.

Yeah!
Wish I could say the same about your post in regards to Jake's homosexuality.
My partner's best friend dated Jake so she introduced us. Jake is such a sweet guy and really driven.
Who cares what he is???
He's dated girls. But I'm also guessing he has expieremented before.
Does his sexuality have anything to do with THIS???
No. So stop and go away... you closet queenie.

I sense wishful thinking on CATS's behalf...
This was just... OMG! I was freaking out the whole time! And "This is Your Life (Reprise)" is grand.
They are SO talented.
SPOILER:
Since Jake (the character) is in Roller Coaster Highway now, does this mean more Cheyenne Jackson next season? I mean, he DID get the lead role in episode 3. =]

Posted: 10/1/08 at 8:25pmNo. If we're going to go there I wouldn't want to be with someone who seemed so ashamed of being who he is. If he is, in fact, straight I feel really bad for him because the show doesn't seem to showcase any ability on his behalf to be able to play straight and I imagine it must be difficult for casting directors having to only ever consider him for gay roles. If he isn't gay it just makes it all the more bizarre.

Why does it matter???
You are talking out of pure bitter jealousy.
Go make your own damn YouTube Show.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 1:03amOK, if someone on here is calling Jake Wilson brilliant, then I know it's the end of musical theatre as we know it. For the record, I think it's cool that they made the series, and yes, they put a lot of work into it, but it is unwatchable most of the time. Kudos for putting yourself out there, but "brilliant" it is not.

This episode made me so proud of those guys. Not every episode was my favorite but if you look at their growth over the season, it is pretty remarkable. Watch the first couple, I'd forgotten how drastic the differences were in quality and production.
These guys had no experience at all in film making and somehow managed to pull off an entire series, with intricate musical numbers no less. I think regardless of how much you enjoyed the show or jake himself, he did make history as being the first person (to my knowledge) to pull of an entire musical online series. He brought NY musical theater to the computers of people across the US, and to that I say Bravo!

Posted: 10/2/08 at 12:36pmIt's a cute idea with a bunch of funny moments, but I can't fathom how it picked up a fan following.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.
