Hey everyone,
I've been a big fan of the show since I was first made aware of its existence a few years ago. I've been trying out a web development framework and decided to make the website subject something that has brought me so much joy over the years - The Best Show.
You can search for an episode, view episodes by appearing characters, queue up episodes in a playlist and more. It's still a work in progress: there are still quite a few entries to be added.
You can check it out below.

Ugh, python. Should have used rails.
Seriously though, this is excellent! You can link to the clips in the pop-up player with a start time. For example:
http://www.wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=57144&archive=107115&starttime=0:37:50 (http://www.wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=57144&archive=107115&starttime=0:37:50)

Awesome, I'll look at sticking that in
Edit: Site has been updated to link to time in the popup player. Thanks for the tip!
-
That's pretty rad, man. Bookmarked.
-
Awesome, thanks!
-
This is incredible!
-
*wipes tears of happiness from eyes*
It's beautiful!!!

I second this emotion.

This is incredible!
Is it crazy, JRSly, to envision a day when your mind-melting map of Newbridge is joined up to kleinsbeer's Newbridge Navigator?
The thought of these two projects possibly coming together, reminds me of several noted historical occasions when peanut butter met up with chocolate:

How are you doing the tagging? Are you keying the times in from Omar's recaps or something?
-
Bookmarked.
Wonderful job, Kleinsbeer!
-
Woah! This is great. As stated by someone else, bookmarked.
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

At the moment I'm just coming up with tags myself that I think would be relevant to a character/show from listening to the shows. Most of the appearance times are referenced from the Newbridgctionary http://buffcoat.blogspot.co.uk/ (http://buffcoat.blogspot.co.uk/)

Whoa, there's a British buffcoat?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I guess since I'm from the UK it redirected me to a .co.uk domain ...weird.
-
Nice work and thank you! Are the episodes compatible on a mobile device by chance?
-
The site itself is mobile compatible. Unfortunately the links to the episodes go to the WFMU popup player, which is flash, so no (although you can run flash on android, it's not exactly a good experience). Can't really do anything about that unless WFMU decide to make the shows available in a mobile friendly format I'm afraid.
-
Fair enough. It'd be awesome to have some day just to avoid having large files saved to your phone. Either way, the site is great and thanks again

Indeed, I'd love to see something like that happen. I'm not exactly knowledgeable on the process entirely, but I had hoped my next step might be having the map, or another style map based on the original, be interactive and dynamic.
-
This is truly amazing. Thank you for this!
-
it seems like you only have character appearances on this thing if the appearance is in the episode title?
-
ABBAsolutely outstanding.
I love you.

Yeah, there are still quite a few episodes that I need to go through
-
Hey! This is great!
Thanks for building this.
Now, I have no idea how hard this would be to implement. But wouldn't it be great if we could annotate the episodes, like Wikipedia, or maybe RapGenius?

Thanks! Sounds interesting, although I think it may be more of a human challenge than a technical one. Opening up an effectively unmoderated site to public user contributed content is pretty much asking for trouble.
-
Yes, I agree that it sounds terrifying.
I don't know how the other sites do it. Also, I think there was a Best Show wiki from a few years ago that didn't as much love as you might hope.

Hey everyone,
I've added JRSly's fantastic map to the site. Check it out at http://newbridgenavigator.pythonanywhere.com/map (http://newbridgenavigator.pythonanywhere.com/map)

Dreams do come true!!!
See kleinsbeer's post just before mine for more details:

Ahh, the tears of joy.
-
Has the newbridge navigator gone out of commission? :(
-
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
