Simpson's Cast On Bravo This Sunday
droopus writes "So, what does Dan Castelleneta look like? (He's a kinda weasly looking bald guy.) See Dan, Hank, Harry, Yeardley, Julie, Nancy and the rest of the Simpsons cast this Sunday at 8PM (EST) on Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo.
According to the website:
"In anticipation of the landmark 300th episode of The Simpsons, James Lipton sat down with the series' accomplished ensemble to meet the actors behind the voices in order to discover how they have managed to create such a wealth of believable and beloved characters."
I saw a quick preview, and seeing that thin, weasly bald guy go "Aggggggh, donut" was alsolutely hilarious. Watching Nancy Cartwright morph effortlessly from Bart, to Nelson, to Ralph is waaaaay cool. My TiVo is set for this one.
One hitch: it's on at the same time as the usual new Sunday Simpsons episode, so Bravo has thoughtfully repeated the show at midnight so fans can record both."
What I dont understand is ALL frequencies are running through that wire going in to the TiVo. Why cant you just do a stream record of the WHOLE analog signal (ad converter) and then re-play all channels when you want to?
Because the required bandwidth would be obscene. That, and I don't believe we even have any existing technology to simply capture a collection of mixed radio signals and somehow (digitally or analog) store them...
But think of the amount of information contained in each signal. Even if you ignore everything but the video, how do you store all of the detail for 100+ channels (or even just a few)?
Those are only a couple of problems with the theory... I'm sure there are many more, but that's the obvious reason.

Harry Shearer was on 'The Panel' a TV show in Australia and did a number of character voices.

That's a bit over the top isn't it? These shows have scientologists working on them, true, but they aren't promoting the thing.

Nancy Cartright and Danny Castelleneta deserve ALOT more respect than this, especially by THIS crowd which obviously worships the show by their fanatical knowledge. Those are some very mean and unnecessary comments about Nancy's religion and Dan's and Yeardley's appearances considering all the laughs these people have brought you folks over the years. Without Nancy and her "wacky" religion America would never have "Ha ha" burned into its collective consciousness. Without that "weasly" looking Dan, America would never know the magic of the words "D'oh" and dozens others. Without that "nerdy" looking Yeardley we would never have that intelligent foil to Homer's idiocy as well as a constant source of moral outrage. So I would please hope you consider any slam against the Simpsons voice actors is a slam against America and we are far to young and dumb to defend ourselves against such onslaughts.
Well, to play Devil's Advocate for a moment... Ding! Ding! Diing! Hey, extra ball!
Um... where was I...? Boycotting is a proud American tradition. There is nothing wrong with boycotting any product for any reason (sane, insane or completely mental). It's a form of free speech and is part of our American Way!
When, of course, you force others to join you against their will (e.g., jamming the TV station signal) does it become wrong.
If the poster wants to boycott anything related to clamheads, then let him or her. Of course, you couldn't pay me to miss out on all those "Welcome Back, Kotter" reruns.
I boycott all states who have drunken philanderers as Senators.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
