Community access cable is fun. The other night I watched a guy sit in front of the camera. In the upper left hand corner of the screen the text read: Live On Air, 1/10/1999. In the lower right hand corner was a phone number. The guy sat there drinking coke and eating pizza. He didn't say a word until a little noise sounded indicated someone called in. He started off by saying Happy New Year and chit chatting about nothing in particular. This went on for the rest of the show. Some callers called in to tell him it was 2002 and he laughed it off as if it were some big joke and kept insisting it was 1999. That was it, that was the whole 30 minutes.A show I watch regularly is a comedy called We're Geniuses in France. It is pretty low-brow humor. One of the bits they do is taking a Mexican show about a girl's school and dubbing it over turning it into a show about sexually obsessed girls that desire only one man, Dale Chapman (the host of We're Geniuses in France). It may not sound funny, but it really is. It makes me want to produce a show.
