I thought Vanessa got many of the early best lines: <BR/>"I always felt safe when he was around" referring to LaMont, the dead goldfish. <BR/>And "Can we get a dog if Rudi dies?" in the epidsode where Denise has kicked the two younger girls out of the bathroom and Rudi still has shampoo in her hair (and eyes).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-16383990434977080192008-06-22T01:38:00.000-07:002008-06-22T01:38:00.000-07:00More, more more!!!The problem with this type of ac...More, more more!!!<BR/><BR/>The problem with this type of acting seem to me that a. not every actor can do it<BR/>b. more think they can than actually can<BR/>c. other actors think they can do it when they see their boss do it (unless he was enough of a dictator to forbit the others to improvise)<BR/>d. not even an actor who can do it can do it every time<BR/><BR/>Isn't this a way of working that works much better on a one camera show (like Curb Your Enthousiasm) or do 'jazz actors' need the audience?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-28931921087032285752008-06-21T05:08:00.000-07:002008-06-21T05:08:00.000-07:00This isn't a comment on this post, but on the doze...This isn't a comment on this post, but on the dozen I've just read (having found your blog this morning, courtesy of Google Reader, which considered my insecurities and sent me your way.) I draw a comic strip called Spot the Frog for United Media. It's ending in a few weeks, after a five year run (not enough newspaper clients to satisfy my insatiable desire to eat every day), and my confidence in writing another strip -- or anything else with a cartoon in the vicinity -- is shaky. <BR/><BR/>But the insight and honesty of your blog -- your suggestion to <BR/>“Acknowledge your liabilities and minimize the damage,” -- is hitting me straight behind the shoulders and delivering a second wind. <BR/><BR/>I've loved your work over the years, and I'm loving your blog, and its timely intervention. Many thanks for both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-35724425866463411232008-06-20T14:50:00.000-07:002008-06-20T14:50:00.000-07:00Eagerly awaiting the Monday sunrise.Eagerly awaiting the Monday sunrise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-18085554221136222202008-06-20T12:39:00.000-07:002008-06-20T12:39:00.000-07:00Thanks, Earl!
