Post by: Country Lobster on February 23, 2009, 02:30:58 PM: Wow. Going to be another amazing show. I'd like to hear Robert and Peter dish the details on Tarvuism and the involvement of Tim and Eric.

Seriously, I'd love to have the whole series on DVD. I just started watching this in Jan. when AS aired Series 1 and it's brilliantly funny. I'm enjoying the shift to 30 min. in the second season.

Post by: Stupornaut on February 23, 2009, 05:46:10 PM: Ask them if they've ever seen any of the American contemporaries of the early '80s science program(me)s Look Around You sends up -- stuff like 3-2-1 Contact or Mr. Wizard's World -- and if so, if they could remark on the cultural differences.

Does this mean "yay"?

If so, then I totally agree.

From what I can tell, it means "Hello" in Tarvuist.

Tom, it may be too early for them to talk at length about the Tarvu project, but I'm incredibly curious about it. The depth of the Tarvupedia is so impressive. I also love how straight it's played (98% of the time) in the videos. I'd like to know how long they've been working on writing all that backstory as well as what format the eventual show will take. Thanks!

YES

Post by: Regular Joe on February 23, 2009, 06:57:48 PM: Oh my god, what a powerhouse. A POWERHOUSE!

I'd be curious if there is any thought in their heads of a Look Around You season three, but I guess that would be bigger news than a call-in question if there was.

I like the town planning institute's slogan - "mediation of space - making of place."

The voiceover guy from Season 1 of Look Around You is best known as...

Post by: bakersfieldchimp on February 24, 2009, 05:02:20 PM: Awesome-- Look Around You is fantastic. I've seen it at least fifteen times now, but I still crack up at the carton of pig's milk with the slogan "It's Deloinkful!" in the Ghosts episode.

Post by: heartsauce on February 24, 2009, 06:47:46 PM: This will be the best Best Show yet, without a doubt.

Question for Mr. Popper:

For those of us who can't swim, I'd love to know if there are any plans for a stateside Radio Spiritworld listening party... or perhaps a podcast to arrange our own listening parties once everybody in the UK loses interest (very soon.)

The other day I had a vision that the raisins in my cereal were ants. I was wondering if this was a message from my grandfather, and if so, what it meant.

Post by: not that James on February 24, 2009, 06:52:49 PM: Wow. So much awesome packed into such a tiny space!

I'd tread carefully tonight. One momentary lapse of concentration, one slight relaxing of the reins, and this thing just might explode.
