Oh yeah, Texasdeb, I loved Rich and Dave, too. A while back, I found a site that had some Rich and Dave clips from that first season. I'll have to see if I can find that again. I missed most of Mel Silverback. Only caught enough of the Dian Fossey joke to think how odd it was to hear someone make a joke about Dian Fossey. For anyone interested in finding out more info about Dian, UN Museum & Webster's have pretty good write-ups. Or, you could always watch "Gorillas In The Mist". Of course, after seeing that, whenever I think Dian Fossey (which isn't very often), I see Sigourney Weaver.

Oh, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It really takes a lot to offend me, though. You just don't hear Dian Fossey jokes or references even very often...so just hearing her name in a joke was odd to me....sort of in an "what an obscure reference" kind of way. Of course, I missed the actual joke...so I don't know whether I would have found it offensive.... (And I read somewhere, don't remember where, that it was a recycled joke from some other comedian...basically he put "Dian Fossey" where the other comedian had said "Jane Goodall"...I think...)

I wasn't offended by the Dian Fossey reference..I just thought he was plain annoying and unfunny. His lack of talent is what offends me, and the fact that he was passed through at all. His whole routine was just stupid.

I enjoyed Mel Silverback as much as most of the others. He only stood out because of his ape gimmick. How much material can he have with his one & only theme? His 1st impression got our attention but I would bet that's all he's got.

Mel Silverback sounded like he was Alan Alda in disguise. I didn't think he was funny at all. My favorite season was season 1, when they lived in the house and they all played the joke on Dat. Rich Voss , the guy who ironed, and Dave Mordou,(spelling?) were hilarious..does anyone remember when they were in the bathtub?

I didn't really laugh at any of them tonight. A few chuckles with the guy talking about his friends wanting him to drink but other than that, not much.

Angelic, Bravo's been re-airing them (last night's ep is on right now), so you might be able to catch it there....if you get Bravo. Don't know if there's a regular schedule for it, but I know they repeated the first 2 several times over the past week.

I was reading today that Alonzzo has stated on his blog that they won't be doing the house this year, just competitions. But, I don't really know...haven't read his blog myself or read anything else about it.

He wasn't picked, but I loved that Australian guy who was joking about the warnings at the start of every DVD..."you wouldn't steal a car...you wouldn't steal a mobile..." but if his friend called him up and said, "I just got a new car, would you like me to burn you a copy...", he might consider that! lol. Also liked the Nigerian/English lady.

So if they're not doing a house, it's going to turn into American Idol. YAWN I'm so over those types of shows. What I liked about this show was the one on one challenges they did.

I think it is going to be more like Season 3...where they had the comics from Seasons 1 & 2 compete, but there was no house. The article I was reading said there would still be the head-to-head challenges...so...really...I have no idea what it will be like! Maybe later, I'll try to do a little research and see if I can find anything that spells it out a little more. Smartypants, loved the line in the homophobia thing about the uncle coming out of the closet covered in spiders! And ketchup: "Inside-out cat"...one of my biggest chuckles of the night!

If they have comics from other countries, then they have to give them a place to stay. Last season they were kept in a hotel (on board the Queen Mary) until half had been eliminated. I miss the house. That was some of the best stuff.
