Is this the Best Show's Best Year Yet?

[samir]

Are you talking about Brock Peuchk? If so, that was 2007.

Samir's favourite call of ALL TIME, that one.

[Trembling Eagle]

I really liked '05 and '06

I'm a Tommert and Capt J fan.

Also the Wuster character who is always saving people until it turns out he's the one causing all the mischief.

That has to be my favourite turn so far.

I almost knew I was gonna get that wrong
it felt like '06 to me.

Now I got to dig it up and listen again.

[Rockford]

The Mayubinatorial Debate was one of the most brilliant pieces of comedy I've ever had the pleasure to witness.

Talk about slow roasting a dish to perfection.

Two words: balance buddy


Just thinking aout it ow still makes me laugh.

The connections between 70s and 80s news anchors and the punk & new-wave bands of the time was an eye-opener, to say the least. You might even call it an L-B.

I still need to check out some of those Cronkite commentary tracks.

(pppppfffffffttttt)

I agree with the people saying 08 has been the best year yet.  I hope 09 is even better!

[HaroldBlvd]

Here it is at the halfway point for 09 and already Tom has hit another high water mark. So far the shows this year have surpassed anything in the past years. Amazing guests. Amazing shows.

From the Brushman to the Mike Show, The six hour marathon, and so much more.

Great work Tom and the gang.
Making my mouse pledge worth every cent!

I don't know if 09 has been the best year for the Best Show as a whole, but I think this has been the best year for Tom's performance specifically. Of course, JW's contributions continue to be spectacular, but Tom seems to be digging deeper and deeper on a weekly basis and hitting new notes all the time. Whether it's the recent streak of amazing guests, or even the more emotional and personal stuff, Tom is bringing it like it's never been brought. Amazing.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i think the archives are proof that the best show gets better year after year.

i think the archives are proof that the best show gets better year after year.

When I first started listening, I'd comb through the archive descriptions to see if there was anything of interest in each show.  It soon dawned on me that I could literally just scroll down and pick ANY episode and have a great 3 hours of listening.

I liked Matt Fraction's comment that the Brushman episode seemed somehow like "Best Show Fan fiction".

[ackbar]

quality/frequency of guests & tom's riffing w/ other comedians is at an all-time high imo

the calls vary.. but a lot of that is out of the hands of anyone at the station

I think I might agree on this one, with the Maurice Kern/Philly Boy Roy Peniscillin/"repossess your presents" call as a close close second.

I agree with whoever says the Peuchk call compresses in their mind.  I always forget the absolutely phenomenal Cronkite (RIP) DVD bit and the Sanders/"The Beard" bit are in that call, among a couple other absolute gems.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

mighty boosh guest stars and we're only halfway through the year.  i love the best show.

[HaroldBlvd]

After the Gathering of The FOT on Tuesday, do I even have to ask?
Get Metmerized, A Gathering of the Juggalos, the guests, the Wurster calls, The Tom album, it's just too much to list.

The Best Show gets better with every show.


You can take that to the bank.
