sigh, story if my life...always in the minority. I like The Lot. Even the the hostess and Carri's hper active review. I actually find the hostess very refreshing and likable. Oh well.

I don't particularly dislike the hostess though she isn't a favorite either. I think the show's format is terrible. However, it is a bit of a catch-22 because they dramatically reduced the show after its initial poor ratings. It may have been much better if they could have stayed with the original format.

More intelligence, more respectfulness, and less AI type hyperbole, would make this show soar. With a MATURE host not a valleygirl.

How in the heck did Marty get cut and that piece of crap weird music video on ice beat it. Kenny? Is that his name? Absolutely HATED everything I've seen him do. CRAP!

I think Marty lost votes for his "I'm so great" attitude. Big turn off.

Isn't this dumb show on Mondays? I just looked at the listings in the paper and didn't even see it...

I was just wondering the same thing Madelane, but I have all my tv days confused right now. I'll just remember that there is something I watch on a given day, but have no idea what it is! Anyhoo, I just checked the FOX site and they have On The Lot Tuesday at 8pm, so it should be on tomorrow. And, yeah, I know I watch something on Tuesday, so that must be it! Monday is my Hell's Kitchen night.

It used to be on Mondays and Tuesdays but when it didn't perform as well as they wanted in the ratings they cut it back to just Tuesdays.

I think the format tonight was better. They just came to the film makers and announced who was going home, then gave out the assignments. Some of the films were pretty good.

I missed the few minutes, so I wondered how that worked...whether whoever was eliminated had to complete the assignment only to find out they were eliminated. Who went home? I also missed the first couple of films, but liked most of the ones I saw.

Zach's was great!! It was titled "Die Hardly Working". It was about people in a typical office, bored. Two of them started play-acting various fights - One would "shoot" the other. Then the next would use an invisible bow and arrow to shoot back. Then a machine gun. Then a grenade, then swords. Finally, when one "died" in the arms of a co-worker (woman), she stepped in for him and shot a missle at the other! Finally, the clock reached quitting time, and they left for the day. That doesn't at all relay how well made and FUNNY it was! The actors were terrific, as was the comic timing. Very nicely done! (It was so good that I totally forgot what the other films were!!)

The girl with the cute haircut went home, can't remember her name but she did that lame film about how to change a lightbulb. They sent her home before it was time to make the comedy so no waste of time or energy. Most of them were pretty bad to OK, but Zach's was great! I almost voted before I remembered I hate this show. Zach didn't use any special effects this time except for sound effects, and I was laughing out loud. He has TALENT. Make sure you watch Zach's online because it was terrific. Garry gets more and more sexist as the show goes on, and I rarely notice stuff like that. As far as I can tell, the next six directors have to do horror. Which, again, is totally unfair because it's difficult to compare six comedies against six horror films. Even though the selection was likely random, it is still not fair in my opinion. Also it was fun that they used pretty good character actors provided by the show. Zach's film had ones I recognized.

Good for Zach!! Thanks for the info I don't think I can watch online - I think you have to be in the USA to do so ( i am in Canada)

I LOVED the Korean in-laws at the doctor's office short!! I was cracking up the whole time!! I thought it was the best all-around, and Zach's had a good story too. I chuckled. I have to give Zach props for employing a Seinfeld actor in it. The balder guy was in the episode of Seinfeld where George misses the instructions for the project at work, and has to go down to payroll, and the payroll clerk is that guy in Zach's film. LOL Jessica was the one booted. She did the horror film with the trees.

are they all on You tube? How do you find things there?  ETA: at youtube I did a search- I couldn't find "Die hardly working" yet - but the search brought up Target jack - a short from last year showing a worker shooting "missiles" at another worker. I wonder if this one gave Zach the germ for the idea?

I loved Zach's film -- really clever and funny and the sound effects were spot on. He is very talented. I also like the in-law at the doctor. Made me laugh out loud. The sperm bank film was bad. The set up is rediculous -- why rob the bank when you can walk in and buy the stuff.

Or, really, its not like men won't just give that stuff away... I'm glad that Jessica was the one to go after that short with the trees!

The brain thing was too silly, as was the sperm bank thing. The only good thing about the cave men was the last nanosecond, when they were the same people. The making a girl thing was just dumb. I liked the in-law film and Zach's film, though. They made the hour for me.

I liked the in-law film too. And I'm not easy to amuse when it comes to comedy.

Making A Girl was the worst. Followed by Brain Surgery. Die at the Office was the best. With the Doctors Office second. Middle of the road was Sperm Bank. IMHO.
