and i know Pruitt is the one who started it, but you're the one who said, "Faster, Jeffycat! Kill, kill!"
encouragement is 87% of the something or other, you know.
Ro: ok. coffee IV for you. even though i think the Dewage would look unholy cool in the drip bag and going into your arm...

Acc , backscrolled just a little, and got caught in -mere-'s web...
-mere- - - For the record (do people still say, for the "record"?), I didn't initiate the Anna Nicole Smith line of discussion. I only jumped right in with a certain gusto. The fact is that Anna Nicole Smith, in all her cartoonish voluptuousness, is not my type. I tend to go for the complete opposite. TV Lori is my ideal.
And, by that, I don't mean to, in any way imply that TV Lori is, or is not... never mind.
That's it. I'm really leaving. No acronyms, no poems, just the gentle sound of the AOL man telling me, in his pre-recorded voice that I still feel is speaking directly to me, "Goodbye."
Ty King
an acronym for "-mere-" is "reem--"

Just dropping in long enough to keep those "Doesn't he ever sleep?" questions going. Oh, and to get people to ask questions that I will not answer because I am immediately signing off after this, resulting in people deciding I am a jerk for not answering them.
Not even scrolling back, lest I get drawn in again.
ROANNA - - Don't you ever sleep? What a L.O.S.E.R. By the way, they have Hanson shirts at Tower, and most reputable record stores (are they still called "record" stores?)
I have just finished up with answering e-mails up to March 10th. Hey, 11 more days to go.

- ok. so apparently it's been VIP weekend here at the bronze, with the
Three StoogesTalented Buffy Triumvirate (Ty, Jeff, and RD) not only making their presence known, but debating the feasibility of having Anna Nicole Smith guest star as a vampiress and chow down on Sunshine. ["i would have to go with stooges, also."]
you people need some sleep.
TVTVTVAlex, you listening? how about you, Ty "Pink Floyd Rules" King? Jeff "I've Got Random PB'ers Snoring On My Couch" Pruitt? ROANNA "I Can't Have A Cool Middle Nickname Because I Don't Have A Last Name With Which To Sandwich It"?
remember sleep? that thing that you do when you're not awake?
in any case...
microserf: i humbly bow at your feet for comparing me to betty page--the very reason that the term "hottie" exists. woo, mama. plus, i was mucho appreciative of your use of the term "horked", as in "my cats horked up a hairball." if i'm not mistaken, is that not a Dave Barryism? oh, and videotapes of last night's proceedings would be illegal to transport over state lines.
sorry, Jeff.
TVTVTVAlex: re: IM tweako. abort, retry, ignore. abort, retry, ignore. abort, retry, ignore. and skip the retrying part.
Ro: yes, the 12+ hour club for which i still have no cool name. eye suck. but when it's officially formed, you and Ty and TVTVTVAlex will all be charter members. i hear the perks include nonstop Dewage IV's and a complimentary stylish straitjacket, in any number of assorted pastel colors...
and now to scroll through yesterday etc...

- microserf: I won't say who - but I'll leave you with this image:
I once worked on a certain show (not Buffy) and when we opened the door to the star's dressing room there he was - putting a roll of socks in. The next day his "action figure" was hanging from the stage ceiling - with a big sock pinned to it. The grips put it there as a joke. The moral is --- never enhance that area. Go with what ya got.
There. It had to be said.
Take care now

- btw - If any of you see Loup Garou on here I just want to say that I saw the episode of JONNY QUEST today in which the Lumberjacks of Canada warned Dr. Quest about the "Loup Garou" and then we find out that he is a man in a terrible lame werewolf outfit. I laughed and cryed.
I also witnessed Fenric on Dr. Who recently. Another interesting choice of nick.

- SWMF: In the days when Ty and I were wide-eyed tykes peeking at the big screen there was a film called, "Freebie & the Bean" starring the number one box office draw - Elliot Gould.
Therefore I submit to you that beans are an integral part of any good hit movie. Think about how beans have played an important part in your everyday life. Never underestimate the bean my friend.
^- JEFF PRUITT says:
(Sun Mar 22 10:07:22 PST 1998 169.132.208.180)
- SWMF: The bean is well. Thankyou for asking.
I'm just biding my time spouting nonsense as I wait for the PB'er who is sleeping on my sofa to awaken so that I can drive him to the bus depot.
so now to the tune of the BUFFY theme music -
"Jenny. Jenny and Sunshine. It's a tale. A plot to thicken.
Dogs. They taste like chicken. So I'm told by the chicks of Wiccan.
Anna Nicole must die - Jennicide! Yeah!"
*theme song of the very short-lived JENNY & SUNSHINE HOUR
^- JEFF PRUITT says:
(Sun Mar 22 9:54:11 PST 1998 169.132.208.180)
- microserf: Yes. It's true. On THE JENNY & SUNSHINE HOUR Sunshine is captured by Anna Nicole Smith and taken to her lair for a BBQ (the kind favored by the un-dead) Jenny must summon all her old Gypsy comrades to launch a full scale assault on the Smith hide-out located within the deep recesses of the Playboy Mansion. Finding the half-eaten remains of Sunshine sends Jenny into a rage and she vows to track the escaping Anna Nicole to the ends of the earth. The show ends with Jenny holding a mighty flaming baseball bat high above her head and crying out, "Think of Sunshine when you look at the night sky. Sunshine!" The other Gypsies can only look on as Jenny Calendar begins her deadly quest to find the murderous dog-eater.*

Signing off soon. Another day, another emergency call for my shaky parenting skills.

Boywonder - - To answer your question about who will be the new computer teacher... I haven't seen any episodes past "Lie To Me" yet, since we are a few months behind on the WB station up here in Seattle, so I guess I should ask, why should we even get "new" computer teacher? I think Jenny Calendar is doing a great job and I'm really starting to like her character. Besides, I see a future between she and Giles, if she can only get over her upsettedness about this Eygon thing. So I don't see any need to get a new teacher. Sunnydale High is too small for two computer teachers anyway.
I think that is why no one answered your question before... it's kind of ludicrous.

(Sun Mar 22 9:19:42 PST 1998 169.132.208.180)

Poizonivy - - Can I have a pic, or should I IM you for that?
Jeff AKA Stunt God - - Haven't had that video experience, but I think Angelyne could be a very creepy vampiress, maybe one who has a strange variation on vampirism in which the body continues to deteriorate very slowly over time, instead of the frozen in time thing the others do.

LOTHOS - - "Passion" was written under the influence of five days straight of ELP's "Welcome Back My Friends, To The Song That Never Ends" mega live thing. I started out on Traffic's "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys", but didn't feel it 'til I moved to Emerson, Lake and Palmer. That ep just poured out after that.
TV Lori - - So this is a real, not for fun, writing gig you're doing? Sorry, different advice for that sitch. Just don't know what it is.

- Ty : I'm typing in Pink now becuase I actually saw Angelyne on the freeway yesterday and almost crashed my car. Yipe! Did you ever see her special appearence in that home video rental? She just danced (sort of) around a chair with a guy sitting in it as the camera sat on a tripod and never blinked. It was truly horrific.

(Sun Mar 22 8:44:41 PST 1998 152.163.207.135)
Jeff AKA Stunt God - - That may be the most brilliant idea I have ever heard. So, you saw the video of her drunken dance with the bar mitzvah boy (or was it just a birthday party, I forget). Hey, if you think you could find someone to double for Anna, I would love to write it. That is one scary woman. And, if she's not available, Angelyne as a woman with a "picture of Dorian Gray" in her attic would also be good.
Either way, J.P. AKA S.G., I'm printing that one up and putting it in my dream file.

(Sun Mar 22 8:39:42 PST 1998 169.132.208.180)
- Okay - listen to this Ty ( and don't dismiss this out of hand - just think about it)
Anna Nicole Smith wanders into the library. She is blotto and she grabs Xander for a dance. Giles tries to intervene and she vamps out. She runs amok in the school and the LAPD arrives and surrounds the place ala' DIE HARD. (The Sunndale Cops dare not question why they are there.) Buffy (who was in the restroom during all of this) is the only non-hostage and has to outwit the waddling drunkard by placing twinkies in a line that leads Anna out into the open where the LAPD can get a clear shot at her. The bullets only irritate her. She runs rampant over the city and she and Buffy wind up in a battle to the finish high above the terrified townspeople at the unfinished Noxen Towers Building.
scarier stuff was never written by a human.
^- Ty King says:
(Sun Mar 22 8:38:34 PST 1998 152.163.207.135)
TV Lori - - Poizonivy's post reminded me... if you can't write while listening to Pink Floyd, you're not a writer. Try it. The earlier stuff is better, but it's all good. Yes or ELP come in a close second and third.
Ty King
who am I to hand out writing advice, anyway?
^- Ty King says:
(Sun Mar 22 8:34:54 PST 1998 152.163.207.135)
Jeff AKA Stunt God - - To your question, I forget who (sorry), but someone the other day suggested Ewan McGregor, and I think he and James M. could have good times together. Or... Giles son he wants to forget, who blows into town and hits on Buffy. Still, my favorite answer, so kudos to who first suggested it. I have another answer, but I have discussed it with Joss, so can't say in case it were to happen. I'd love to write that one, too.
ROANNA - - I'll come to the PBFP if you're wearing a Hanson shirt.

BoyWonder - - My taste in music is musty, but eclectic. At the moment, I am listening to an album by a group no one has ever heard of. The album is "Vinyl" by Dramarama. Before that, Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde." Before that, the cast recording of "Rent." Before that, Oasis' "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" Before that, Alice Cooper's "Muscle of Love." Before that, Hanson's "Middle of Nowhere." Before that, Neal Young's "Harvest." Before that, Pink Floyd's "Pulse." Before that, recorded music had not yet been invented.

I see we have another Canadian on the board. Breakdown in our border patrols. "It's called security people!"
Just kidding. Welcome to our world, Voxana, where the Canadians just may outnumber us lower life forms.

*** If you could have anyone you want on as a guest star on BUFFY who would it be and what would you have them play?

^- Ty King says:

Chrystal - - Anyone who wants my name and reputation can have it. I've pretty much trashed it to the point no on in his or her right mind would want to be me. And, I didn't give out the codes, only the names of new colors - there's still a string of symbols and numbers that have to be input first.
TV Lori - - Now you see the secret of my writing. Court exhaustion, then befriend it and write with the aid of incoherence. It lowers you normal standards, and you pretty much just write down everything that comes to mind and think it's pretty darned good. Oh, except for the script I just sent to Joss. I know that wasn't good and look forward (sarcasm there) to discussing it on the phone with him today.

- Nitro: Congrates! "King of being First" Woo-Hoo!
Lena: did you guys just get home? (u party animals amaze me) Did Nick ever get past the bulls outside? Did Tommy attract too much LAPD attention with his long-haired trouble-maker appearence?
^- Ty King says:
(Sun Mar 22 8:02:01 PST 1998 152.163.207.135)
Jeff A.K.A. Stunt God - - The new codes are just new color names used the same old way. So far, they just seem to be a lot of fun. In addition to the primary colors and green, they are - -
"shadow"
"aqua"
"indigo"
"jade"
"pink"
Just more codes to worry about inputting wrong and giving away the code secret that two or three people still don't know.
While you're here, Jeff, how have the recent weather peculiarities affected how you plan and execute stunts, or is the rain of little consequence?
Ty King

- Lena: Sorry we couldn't find you before we left. I had to bail before the cops discovered my true identity and put me away for a few thousand years.
Ty: I too ran home to watch DARK SHADOWS. The eerie music at the opening used to make me hide behind the pillows of the sofa.
^- JEFF PRUITT says:
(Sun Mar 22 7:56:36 PST 1998 169.132.208.180)
- Ty: Nope Don't know the new codes.
The night we packed up and left was the night of my "special foot appearence." We went back and shot it later though. The slightly greenish dirt on the top of the right boot will indicate that it is me. So obviously different from the nice new boot of the guy I was doubling. I may have pushed the envelope too far.

Stunt God - - Barnabas and Angelique Collins were the reason I used to run home from school every day. The actor who played Reverend Trask, Jerry Lacy, is actually a good friend now. He also played Humphrey Bogart in the Woody Allen movie "Play It Again, Sam" and is married to Julia Duffy, who was on "Newhart" and "Designing Women." He also wrote an episode of "Parenthood", the series based on the movie that Joss and I wrote for. I know, more information than you want to know, but Jerry is cool about telling "Dark Shadows" stories.

Stunt God - - Thanks for the hint about the bottom of the boot (or, "bout" as they say in Canada). You double too well, I often have trouble picking out you and Sophia. Get a little lazier so I can spot you two. BTW, were the scenes that the tornado warning ate a week ago stunt scenes? And did you get the new colors TV James and TV Lori added to the codes?
TV Lori - - How goes the block? E-mail me your full name and I'll get an anagram for you. That should help.

I'm sorry, but I'm an artiste and I will not compromise.
By the way, in your list of what people drink, "Diet Coke" should be capitalized. And please put "(he has a prescription)" after the Ritalin. Don't want to promote misuse of prescription drugs.

Fidelis - - A final word on how determinedly I, at least, avoid research... I am currently adapting a short story of Rudyard Kipling's called "The White Seal" to be an animated feature for Disney. The character in the story have names like Matkah and Kotick. In the Disney tradition, I have created a half dozen or so additional characters, mostly comical types, and Disney asked me to do a little research to find names that were authentic for the region of the story (somewhere along the Bering Strait). Well, three of those characters in the script are named "Karrip" (after a woman, Karen Phillips, who used to post here as "Karriap"), "AkaBeck" (whose name may also be recognizable as derivative of our own "AKA Becker") and "Tel", which was my wife, Michelle's nickname as a child (her sister called her Mattel instead of Michelle... awwww). Other names, like "Sha'vaka" are purely made up, and "Rupert" the Arctic Owl is named after everyone's favorite watcher. Disney loves the names a nd has thanked me for taking the time. Hee hee, what a stupid Mouse.
TV Lori - - I mean it. Back off. Take a nap. Take a walk. Compose a poem by rhyming with "microserf." Get something to eat. Do sit-ups. Listen to "Middle of Nowhere", the finely crafted first album by Hanson. Watch TV. Run water. Read a magazine. Call me here at home and tell me what you're wearing right now. Anything to take a mind break. As Frankie Goes to Hollywood once said, "Relax... don't do it."

Fidelis - - Can only speak for myself, but stuff about demons eating the flesh of recently deceased virgins others in an attempt to achieve divinity by absorbing their souls (that's from the script, I forget what was in the show) or voodoo priests needing more than one zombie for most traditional purposes or Orbs of Thesulah or Romanian liturgies for the restoration of the soul or souls from the ether are all from the top of my head. "Thesulah" just sounded like a cool word to go with "orb." See, I, too, deplore research.

Oh, wait, I've never ever had writer's block. My problem has always been that the ideas seem to come to me faster than I can write them down.
Hope this helps with your dilemma.

Sparkita - - Temporarily not ignoring you to say, yes, the studios on Radford - formerly MTM where they filmed many great series, from the original Mary Tyler Moore show to St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues and Thirtysomething and Mad About You and Seinfeld (for at least a while) and Roseanne and the lagoon scenes in Gilligan's Island and too many others to mention.
Brad Grenz - - You said "Yeah, but how long was Parenthood around? GP was his first real big gig." Ouch. Ouchity ouch ouch. "Parenthood" was around long enough to appear on 17 of the 20 biggest Television critics "top ten shows on TV" lists, just like "Buffy" was so many years later. And, believe me, it was a "real big gig" *Ouch* in the industry. In fact, when I bumped into Leo about three years ago on the WB lot, he still recognized me from afar (I didn't even see him until I heard a voice call out "Ty!" and he came over to give me a hug) and he said that many producers have told him he first caught their attention in "Parenthood." So, please don't say that it wasn't a "real big gig". *Ouch* Thanks.

Brad Grenz - - Yes, Leo was on "Growing Pains", but that was after he worked with Joss and I on that series I mentioned earlier (it was called "Parenthood", after the movie), so Leo didn't get his start on "GP". In fact, Leo used to hang with Joss and me in my office on the lot in Studio City. We used to open baseball cards together and write on the walls with Markers to kill the time between scenes. Leo was cool. Still have old publicity shoot proofs and stuff of a 12 year old Leo in my closet somewhere. But, the "GP" came a couple of years later. Just thought I'd clear that up.

I remember a lot of the tsuris (sorry for the spelling there) Joss went through at the time.

BRAD GRENZ - - Wrote four "Growing Pains." The only one I will even consider copping to is one where a girl contemplating suicide comes to study with Mike, knowing his Dad is a psychiatrist and hoping to get in some talk time.

OzFan - - Just wanted to say that the "Family Ties" episode your referred to was called "Speed Trap" and was my first glimpse into the fact that Michael J. Fox could act. It was written by Michael J. Weithorn, by the way, just to give credit where credit is due.
I'm going to have to stop my "type and scroll back, type and scroll back" method of responding. I just realized my last post started with telling DR.STRANGEPANTS I had no information on an article which I proceeded to thank CROSSBOW for the information on just five lines later in the same post. Ack.
CD1106 - - Sorry, not a Skippy episode, but a Nick (Scott Valentine) one.
Angle Man - - I would tell you what episode, but I am afraid you would remember. There were extenuating circumstances (read, an actor tantrum during the week) that caused it to be almost completely rewritten at the last minute, but you may remember one of the things they added - Alex and his parents sing "I Got You, Babe" in the kitchen at the end.
TB - - Yeah, I wrote for that show. I liked Alex and Michael J. Fox, but I could tell you stories about Justine Bateman... could, but won't.
Sorry, didn't want to turn this into a Family Ties board.

DR.STRANGEPANTS - - Haven't heard of any such comparision in a magazine, but it would make for intriguing reading.
Quick break to fix some perceived ignorage...

CROSSBOW - - Thanks for the info on the article. I trust the mag wasn't too kind to the divine Ms. F.R.K.?
-mere- - - Don't ridicule "Sock Guys." We have our reasons.
bec - - Am remembering that the Angelus/Joyce scene motivation is kinda not for publication, but Ember is pretty darned close.

- well, we had Vaultage first, then Kate Kearney's on 50th, where bookish_girl (hereafter known as freakish_girl) and i found ourselves propositioned by several irish frat boys, including one sprawled out on seven kegs at the bottom of the basement stairs.
we kissed that one.
then on to mcdonald's, and home again home again jiggity jig, except with more jiggity, considering the fermented beverages imbibed previously...

Oh, and microserf, the new comedy is a Mutant Enemy production. If it went to series, it would have the "Grrr, Argghh" card at the end.

Angle Man - - My current gigs (there be three) are just the result of 12 years doing this sort of thing. My first job was selling a freelance script to a sit-com, probably before you were born, called "Family Ties" (it was Michael J. Fox's series before "Spin City"). So, maybe it answer your question to say I got started by selling a freelance script to a sitcom.
microserf - - Yes, Sanddollar is there because every screenplay contract pre-assigns credits for the possibility of a future TV series, Broadway show, book, etc. So, it was pre-ordained that Sanddollar would be the production company for any series.
Whelk - - As for the mulitple Executive Producer titles, this happens. I was once an Executive Producer on a series with two other Executive Producers, one of whom was Ron Howard, who never once set foot on the set (he was busy in Chicago filming "Backdraft" at the time). By the way, Joss was a Producer on that series. The only important thing to know is that the only person who "earned" his Executive Producer title on "Buffy" is Joss. I have never seen Fran on the lot while I was there. BTW, David Greenwalt is a Co-Executive Producer, and he definitely earned that title. I am only excluding the types whose names are there because they were associated with the movie, and for no other reason. Again, these are my opinions, and do not necessarily reflect those of Joss or anyone else associated with the show.
bec - - Give me a moment to consider. I know the answer, but am trying to remember whether it falls into the "not to be discussed outside this room" category.

TED - - Sorry, I was kidding. Always looking for any flimsy excuse to shamelessly quote from my own scripts. Sorry.

I would like to vote against making any rules or categories for L.O.S.E.R.s. I have always been proud of the fact that we are one of the few clubs that don't assign numbers or require application for membership. We are the club of the common man, anyone can join, and we are all equal in the eyes of the Joss.
That's just my druthers. I'll go along with the will of the majority.

A poem for Malista...
"Samantha, Samantha
Hold me closer, Tiny Dantha
I've tried so hard to romantha
But I have yet to entrantha
(Much less to de-pantha)
Perhaps flowers are the antha
To thaw my cool Samantha."
When Ted uses colors, it just cheapens it for the rest of us.
And I can speak on the record about Fran Rubel Kuzui and the Buffy movie. I read Joss' original draft of "Buffy", the one she bought (and before she got her mitts on it), and to suggest that there was no martial arts or humor is laughable. The script she bought was brilliant, funny, action filled. She is like a maniac who takes a sledgehammer to a DaVinci sculpture, smashes it to bits, then says "Look at all the nice little marble pebbles I just made. Before I got my hands on it, it was just one big hunk of stone." (I overstate by comparing Joss's script to DaVinci, but you get the idea) I loved that draft of the script much more than the movie that eventually "de-evolved."
Beyond that, I can't say more. Joss is invoking Executive Producer Privelege to prevent us from having to talk on this subject.
Hi, TV Lori.
