Simpson's Cast On Bravo This Sunday

Posted by Hemos on from the seeing-them-for-real dept.

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."

  1. Reason for Multi Channel Tivo devices... by TibbonZero · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey, I remember some Ask Slashdot or something about having a Tivo like system based on Linux for recording either 4+ or 16+ streams. I guess this gives a little validity to wanting to record at least two streams anyway. And hell you might even like something asides from just the Simpsons, and want to record three things at once. :)

    I think "Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel? (Grins idiotically)" is a bit more funny.

  3. Hank Azaria by calyxa · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I watched Mystery Men with a friend the other night who had never seen it. she commented on how occasionally she could hear traces of Prof. Frink's voice in the character of The Blue Raja, played by Hank Azaria. throughout the film, it's hard to get a grasp on Azaria's "real" voice. for most of it he's faking a British accent.

    ---That is what TV Tuners are for. You could get an extra tuner and hook it up. You could buy a few tuner cards for a computer and record them all at once.

    Dont you see getting 2 of the same unit somewhat redundant, when 1 can read the signal? WHat I'm suggesting is a 'smart tuner' that could read multiple channels and possibly record many of them at once. After all, every channel is going down that nice coax from your antaenna.

    Oh well. Food for thought, stuff that might matter.

    (most?) TV tuners can't, right, but there would ideally be a way to get the entire signal before the tuner skims off an individual channel. But a 750 megahertz analog signal would still be bandwidth prohibitive in a modern day computer.
