Glasshouse tonight (21/9/01)

[Mythor]

Funnyyyyyy. :)
Rebecca De Unamuno was very amusing (deliberately!), and Adam was of course a cack. :)

I'm glad they had some amusing bits about what's going on with the US, but they didn't try and make any cracks about the deaths. I think that'll be the only way anyone with any taste will be able to touch the topic yet.

Generally I think it was even better than the previous episode. Wil seems to be much more at ease with reading off the auto-cue (though it did still come across a little weird at times). The switches to the panellists seem to be coming more naturally as well. The only real problem I noticed was the "well disguised" joke. ;)

What'd everyone else think? :dunce:

[Nick]

i missed it!! but i actully saw about 10 secs of it and i saw lisso :)

[Laney]

I really liked that episode, i laughed rather a lot in that one...

I didn't actually think all that much of De Unamuno, and yes, Adam, he always cracks me up.

The audience participation - there were only two questions asked, i was hoping there would be more - i like that section.

Good episode.

Oh, and it was amusing seeing Adam's parents in the audience not laughing when the camera was on them...

[comedychick]

Given that I'm in Perth, I still have an hour & 15 mins till it's on BUT Rebecca De Unamuno is on? RIPPER!! She's a legend, and I love her work (even if I have only seen her on Dags, and on Cope on Heat in Melbourne). I really should get around to writing up my interview with her...she was funny :)

[Laney]

Oh yes, something i forgot.

At the GH last night there were WAY too many people for seats. *Ted Robinson asked if a stack of people would prefer to give up their seats and see backstage - see how the show is put together from the other end...Well, i was putting my hand up, wanting to go, but *sigh*...he didn't see me putting up my hand to go, and then he said there were enough people backstage now...

I was so annoyed. **I* wanted to go backstage.

Is anyone here, one of those people who went backstage???

just on the glasshouse...yes i thought it was a CORKER of a show....the guests were the best ever and i was having fits of laughter despite the fact i was sitting in an empty house......
it is DEFINITELY getting better!! BRING IT ON!!

[IaProddie]

Ppl got to go back stage? I want to go backstage- (i'm sick of waiting.)

Oh Yeah I watched it for the third time tonight.
it was sooooooo funny- excellent script!

And yes i noticed the one time Wil moved his eyes away from the autocue while still reading it! (sorry thats a little criticle) he looks more relaxed infront of the camera now.

The segments seem so short though......... i guess thats just the game, but you could soooo streach that show out too an hour.

I love how the panelist interact - they starting to show some really good repour.

(hmm anyway my those were my thoughts- i'd love to stop having them but i cant see that happening anytime soon.)

[Abundance]

Except for the anti Canberra comments, does he mean Canberra or the Parliament, everyone bags Canberra it's just so *if you haven't got anything to say just bag Canberra*.  But otherwise the show was chucklealacious.  If they had Adam on it won't be too long till they have other GNW people on.

[Mythor]

Nooooooo, don't stretch it to an hour! Then they'll start having 'filler' sections like GNW, with boring music shit. :tongue:

Sorry, but that was one of the things I detested about the move to Ch10. Way too much time filled with musical guests. I didn't watch it to see some band I don't like perform a song that sucks. :biggrin:

Yes, but personally, i don't want it to be another GNW.  I want it to be different.  That's not to say, i wouldn't love to see any of the GNW gang there, but if Paul, Mikey or Julie were ever on the show, i'd like that to be a fair way down the track.  Right now, i just want it to be totally different from the old GNW.

No, no it wouldn't have to be like that.  They wouldn't need those filler sections.  They'd just come up with some other lame sections they've got now, like the "Other Stuff".  And so much is improvised, they could just chat on stage about anything, go from topic to topic - it's all funny.  :cheesy:

[Mythor]

Liiiiiiike... The Panel? :laugh:

[Abundance]

Did they get this format from somewhere else or develop it themselves??

[Laney]

But the Panel always has either a crap band playing, or some crap guest that you really don't want to see.  IF the GH went for an hour without the crap music or crap guests, all would work well.



Abundance - the format is just a variation on shows like The Panel and GNW.  Those shows together = GH.  It's not exactly a hard format to develop...

:cheesy:

[monkeyboy]

its not technically based on an overseas format that i know of.

But another lawsuit could prove me wrong.
