Dreams for the Final Wurster Call

[Mr. Spacely]

That's three votes for Jon calling in as "himself" and being human garbage!

God, I really want this to happen now. I love the idea of Tom's Newbridge Persona being really excited to hear from the drummer for Superchunk. Maybe Superchunk is going to be playing at the Newbridge Commons to herald the opening of Captain's Cronuts.

I'd personally love a call from Sheila Larson.

Should any of you wish to revisit the history of Hot Rockin' Ronny Fuqua, you might peruse this thread: http://friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,2030.msg29342.html

I would love to hear a Hot Rockin' Ronny call in the next weeks. It's been a while...

[D.JGeorge]

Hot Rockin Ronny is so fitting for the last call, if not it should be Philly Boy Roy. I do like the idea of Jon calling in as himself.

[Andrew F]

Maybe not ideal for the FINAL call, but at some point in the next two months it would be funny for Jon to call in as Chuck Woolery or Gary Schandling (or someone who represents them-i.e. their agent/publicist/lawer) to settle their Twitter feud once and for all. It could either be an effort to make peace, or them gloating about the show ending. Either way, it would probably have to end with a death threat.

[MiddleBro]

While the Best Show as we know it is ending I take comfort in the belief that Newbridge will go on even though we won't hear about it.

I was honestly worried about this, for fear of some scenario where Newbridge gets a nuke dropped on it, or some such terrible situation.  Hopefully it will live on, even if it's never directly addressed again, though making an occasional return in other various forms of media would be better.

Zach, I'm terrified Newbridge will be destroyed, too! I was just about to add a Note to the first post on this thread making my feelings known on the matter.  Because, you know, everyone cares what I think. /sarcasm. But still! I just want to go on the record as saying that I want Newbridge to live on, and in other media!

Have hope.

Since Tom is actually mayor of Newbridge I was thinking maybe his shoddy mayorsmanship would somehow destroy Newbridge, but I'd hope it was temporary.

This speculation is reminding me of the final season of Archie Bunker' s Place.

[MiddleBro]

Very reassured that my nuked Newbridge (Nukebridge?) scenario fear has proven unfounded, via Tom's posts.

I was thinking that it would be funny if Jon Wurster hosted the show as himself and Tom called in as various characters from Newbridge, but it probably won't happen. Bizarro Best Show

[djtyler]

Jon as a human garbage version of himself sounds amazing.

[daveB from Oakland]

Would love to hear from Bryce. And also Juan Pablo Fontana, the popCulture-savvy archbishop of the Newbridge Archdiocese. There's too many loose threads to tie up in seven weeks, but I'm just gonna throw my 2¢ into the wind.




(and just hope that the wind is not so violent that it would cause mere pennies to cause indentations in the faces of those who would be in the path of pennies swept up by said wind).

I'd be quite happy to hear Ronald Thomas Clontle check in.
