Alyson Hannigan -- where are you?

I heard through an actor friend that Alyson Hannigan is a HUGE FAN of Situation Comedy and SPERM DONOR. (She went off how much she liked our sitcom recently).

If anyone can contact her -- tell her we appreciate it and we'd send her a copy!

Situation Comedy R.I.P.

Okay, the value of your Tivo just went up. If you actually have Situation: Comedy on your Tivo, keep it forever, because you will never see the show again.

Even yesterday, it was supposed to air at 11 AM. I told my friend to Tivo the show and was told that instead of our lovely finale, an episode of Celebrity Poker aired.

So, Situation: Comedy went out with a whimper... However, if you missed an episode of Being Bobby Brown, it will air from now until the Apocalypse.

Flitter has good PR Agent

Congrats to Josh Flitter who has a good PR agent to get him in this article in The Boston Hearld about his role in the upcoming Disney movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played" starring another reality show actor, Shai LeBouf, who starred in the amazing "Holes."

According the article:

   While filming, Flitter and LeBeouf became pals.

     ``We're really good friends,'' Flitter said during an interview at the Four Seasons in Boston.

You can see more of Josh's friends at his website.

 

Letters

I received many email from people very upset about the outcome of "Situation: Comedy".  Here are a few:

Hello Mark and Shoe,

My friends and I are so disappointed that "Sperm Donor" was not chosen the winner from "Situation: Comedy."  Your pilot was so superior to "Stephen's Life" that there really was not a contest. Blame the voting (more about that below).  You should both be very happy with the results and I am sure that TV executives out there will take notice of your efforts.

I am really unhappy with how the voting was handled.  I am sure there were many people watching tonight who had no idea that the voting had closed the previous week.  Although I voted on AOL, many people seemed to be under the impression that there would be a chance to vote after your pilots were shown on BRAVO.  After all, who wants to watch a postage-stamp window for 15 minutes?  Furthermore, not everyone has a broadband connection to make the streaming video even viable.  Nowhere that I saw in last week's episode did BRAVO state that voting was closing after episode 7.  The voting procedures were mishandled and misguided by BRAVO, AOL and the producers.  The pilots should have been screened last week with an announcement that voting was closing.  This week's episode should have been a wrap-up and should have included comments/interviews with the directors, actors and NBC executives.  I am shocked by the amateur way in which "Situation: Comedy" was produced.

Three more airings...

Situation: Comedy airs three more times unless we figure out that whole time travel thing.

Also, I recommend you record the show via Tivo or VCR, because I doubt anyone will  actually be up to watch the show at 5 AM unless you're watching it after a night of heavy drinking.

But not to fet, I have a link to watch Sperm Donor that should continue working unless AOL takes down the pilot.

Here's the schedule:

Bravo promotes Situation: Comedy finale by not promoting it

In case you didn't know tonight was the finale of Situation: Comedy and you happened to wander over to the Bravo home page www.bravotv.com how might you discern that tonight was the finale where they air the two NBC sitcom pilots and announce the winner?

Perhaps you can find our timeslot on the primetime schedule below:

"Situation: Comedy" finale, finally

99.9999% of America polled said they didn't know that Bravo actually broadcasted at 7 PM on Fridays, nor had they heard of "Situation: Comedy". Well, for the other .0001%, watch the finale of "Situation: Comedy" tonight, the Sperm Donor pilot and Shoe's hair.

Also, tonight is as close you're ever going to get to a Situaiton: Comedy marathon, with episode 106 starting at 5 PM, Episode 107 at 6 PM and Episode 108 at 7 PM. Shoe and I will be presenting Episode 103 in Spanish on the corner of Melrose and LaBrea at 8 PM.

Situation: Comedy Boards

I have been deluged by requests to add a link to the Aol.com "Situation:Comedy" boards, so that the SC fans can actually talk amongst themselves. Ask and you shall receive.

Please note: you do not have to be an AOL member to post.

Situation: Comedy Schedule... Get 'Em While They're Hot

While actually spotting an episode of "Situation: Comedy" is harder than finding Bigfoot, below is the schedule.

Not many episodes left guys, so you better set your Tivo.

And if you missed Episodes 101-105, Shoe and I will come to your house and re-enact the episodes. All you need to do is buy Shoe a sandwich. He really needs the money. Hint. Hint. (Vote for us).

Videos that don't byte!

Aol has a preview of Episode Five, which has a showdown for the role of DALTON in Sperm Donor between the two superior and hysterically funny actors:

• Richie Keen
• John Ducey

So download before Friday's episode!

In fact Aol's video quality is amazing. Download this video of the White Stripes' "My Doorbell" (with it's homage to "The Little Rascals" -- brilliant). The future of broadband is really here!
