The Scrubs musical turned out to be disappointing. A whole song about poo? I thought you guys were better then that. The cast did a good job and some of the songs were funny but over all it just made me think fondly of the genius that is the Buffy musical.
Speaking of the Buffy musical, I’m committed to organizing a screening of the Buffy musical in Minneapolis sometime this year. I’ve been reading about a group that puts them on all over the country complete with goody bags and Buffy-oke. I think there would be something extremely rewarding about singing and dancing with 200 other fans.
One last thought about the Buffy musical. I learned this weekend that until I can see the above mentioned screening come to fruition, there is nothing wrong with doing a two person interpretation of the show for a smaller audience. Except for the fact that when you haven’t done it in a few years you forget a word here and there and your body feels much pain in the morning. Also you must have a great partner who’s willing to totally commit to the performance (which luckily I did).
I was really disappointed to see Payton Manning and the Colts make their way to the Super Bowl yesterday. Maybe I’m just a mean spirited person but I’ve rather enjoyed watching the Colts come up short year after year. It was the kind of thing you could set your watch to. Plus while I’m not a Patriots fan per say, I love to watch them play as they get more done with little then any team in the history of the NFL. Good thing Prince is doing the halftime show because otherwise I’m not too jazzed for a Super Bowl that features a hated division rival and a team whose only appeal to me is to watch them lose.
Speaking of teams that come up short when it comes to Super Bowls, my Minnesota Vikings continued their downward spiral this weekend when ladies man and defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin left the team to accept the head job in Pittsburgh. Tomlin was really the only thing this mismanaged organization had going for it so in typical Vikings fashion, while our defense took one step forward last year, it just took 2 giant steps back.
SNL rebounded from their horrible outing last week thanks to a strong performance from Jeremy Piven and the cast. The news segment called “Really with Seth and Amy” about Michael Vick’s drug smuggling water bottle had me falling off the couch Sunday morning.
It’s a good few weeks to be a TV geek. Between last week’s 24 and Battlenerd premiers, tonight’s Heroes and Studio 60, and the looming return of Lost, it feels like Christmas in January.
After reconnecting with an old college friend through MySpace recently, I wonder if the legacy our generation leaves behind will be web based networking as opposed to say ending Global Warming or figuring out peace in the Middle East. Of course if don’t solve those two there might not be anyone to leave a legacy too. (Wow what a positive thought to start your week out with.)
