Contrary to other reports, Sam Harris's forehead muscles are indeed there, but they are resting.

Here's an interesting LA Times piece on the show.

"Well, now we all know that Walsh, Ralph, and Ziemba need money a lot more than Gasteyer and Lenox do."

And Lordy knows, Ms. Z is a girl who can't say no to a moocher/stalker.

Like so many of you, I have become addicted to the rampant cluelessness on display in this video.

Thanks to BroadwayGuy12 for pointing out Barbara Walsh splashing most of the liquid out of her glass at 0:59. I feel a little less obsessive knowing that someone else caught that.

Props to AndAllThatJazz22 for pointing out Sheryl's brilliant improvisation on the word "Yeah!" from 0:41 to 0:46. I'm tempted to copy that part of the audio and make it the new error signal on my computer.

To try something new, I played the video at one-quarter speed, which is possible when you download the video from YouTube and play it on a VLC media player. That sent me into new hysterics. I highly recommend it.

Saw this last night. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be...although still needs a ton of work.

I can't stop watching it. IT'S SOO FUNNY.

When Walsh's drink flew out, I nearly peed my pants. This is too good.

"I'm tempted to copy that part of the audio and make it the new error signal on my computer"

Oh. My. God. That would be so f-ing funny. I tried to find a way to rip the audio of Patti saying 'STOP TAKING PICTURES RIGHT NOW!!!!' and using it is the default camera noise for my cellphone, but Sheryl's 'riffs' as an error signal might be even more brilliant.

She sounds awful. Really, really bad.

I'm wondering if one of these ladies were responsible for talking the producers into releasing this video? I mean - think about it. They're all too talented to want to be stuck with this mess but they've probably each signed contracts. If word of mouth (as shown on this thread) kills the show in San Diego, then they'll have gotten a few dollars, they won't have to break their contract, and they won't have to risk ruining their reputations in NY.

Tom's Cat, the damage has already been done. I will forever associate Karen Ziemba and Barbara Walsh with this dreck. I never liked either of them much to begin with, but those clips take the cake.

The only good thing about viewing that video is that now I can say I learned something today - how to spell 'unsalvageable'. I felt compelled to check its spelling after watching that train wreck.

it looks as though they've tried to make a plot with adult issues suitable for family entertainment, in the effort removing all that was funny in the first place...

wheres the gay club
wheres the obvious plastic surgery
wheres underage sex (phoebe) subplot
why is brenda the most tame looking of the lot - plus looking alot younger than the rest

I've watched it again. Does Barbara Walsh think she's playing Helen Keller in Miracle Worker?

[Kalimba]

Posted: 7/27/09 at 2:58pm

Barbara Walsh - blech.

[americanboy99]

Posted: 7/27/09 at 3:01pm

Walsh wears a fat suit?

Anything Goes: "Francess Z really has put no effort into this at all."

Yeah, that's not the problem. FZ always controls everything -- that's the problem
