Quotes:

Crazy Old Guy: Make some TV... oh... I think they should be more detailed information about what's going on, there doesn't seem to be that and what is given doesn't allow much of choice. Same with our elections... our taxation. They cut away... the, uh, municipalities are all cutting budgets...

i have an idea, let's not cancel this one.

i won't bother elaborating on how funny and witty i find this show. and i don't think i can really advise anyone to or not watch it based on other shows they like. i just wanted one more voice to be written in something permanent,,, y'know,,,, like digitally,, in some database somewhere. that way, when the time comes to cancel this show, which is just around the corner i'm sure, i can be heard. and all the lords of demography out there who reign over the most important elements of decision making (e.g. which commercials we will get to see,what shows will air and at what times, etc.)will be able to guide their wands not so blindly this time, and actually hear me as a slight statistic when i say "HEY, THIS SHOW IS SO FUNNY THAT IT MAKES ME LOSE CONTROL OVER MY BOWELS". ---- so please, for the other 5 people who enjoy wonder showzen, cast your vote like how i did and vote yes on "hey, don't cancel this please.... please.... for the love of god, what else are you gonna play instead?, that one real world episode where the kids get drunk again?"
