- ADDENDUM (3 Nov 00): USA has unceremoniously
pulled the Get a Life rebroadcasts from its afternoon lineup. The last
episode shown was episode 32, Bad Fish, on Thursday 2 Nov,
leaving out Spewey and Me (where
Chris adopts an alien), 1977 2000 (where Chris travels in time to stop
Gus from peeing on his boss), and the clip show finale. The episodes
were shown once, in order minus those three episodes, and are now gone.
If you missed out, for heaven's sake, please (please please please PLEASE)
email USA and demand they be shown
again soon. They did it once; with enough show of interest, they will
do it again!
Chris Elliott is the best comedian of the 1990s. Period. If you have any
doubts to that, the USA network is
ready to set the record straight because, after 8 long years,
Get
a Life is finally on television again. Every weekday at 1:30 PM EST, USA
is showing an episode of the show. If you are as excited about this as we
are, I urge you to write USA and
tell them how glad you are to have the show back on the air.
However, that's not the only big news for Chris Elliott fans as he also has
a brand new show on NBC. Well, perhaps that is overstating it, as Chris
Elliott is a costar of the show. The show is called Cursed and is a Must See
TV Comedy on NBC airing at 8:30 PM EST Thursdays between Friends and
Will and Grace (occupying the time slot once held by such classic shows
as Jesse, Union Square, and The Single Guy). The show is a star vehicle for that guy who used to be in
Wings. No not that guy; he is on the new The Fugitive show. No not that guy,
either; I haven't heard from him since that show Ned and Grace. Yeah, yeah, that
guy... him. Chris Elliott plays the best friend and roommate of that guy
from Wings and is, to oversimplify things, a pasty white bald pudgy guy who is
a homeless doctor. Perfect casting, at least.
Oh yeah, and Snow Day is also now on video. Umm, yeah... Snow Day.
As for our issue (oh yeah, we talk about music here), we have one new
interview this time. This time we got to talk with a great new space rock
band from Seattle called
Voyager One.
The band's debut album, From
the New Nation of Long Shadows, takes the best parts of recent British rock
and blends them into an smooth, intoxicating mix. The band is preparing to
play at this year's Terrastock in their own hometown and also have a short
tour planned up and down the West Coast.
Aside from the interview, we have 27 new reviews, certainly not as many
exciting new great things as last issue (which included Godspeed You Black
Emperor!, Radiohead, The Sea and Cake, and others), but there are some
pretty good new records reviewed here (and a few disappointing ones maybe you should stay away
from).
Let us know if you have any comments, either
send us an email or leave a note on our message board. We heart feedback.
Look for our next issue on November 23rd. Thanks so much.
