11. Sundance Channel?

[NYCGirl]

12. It's a wonderful channel — something like IFC. Here's a link with info:

[maveric]

13. And its not edited. No PG rating

So Al can really go for the jugular without having to mind his language.

14. What channel is the Sundance Channel?

Is it on Fox? ABC?

[NYCGirl]

15. It's a cable channel started by Robert Redford

to showcase independent film. Parent company, Viacom. From their website:
http://www.viacom.com/prodbyunit1.tin?ixBusUnit=29

Under the creative direction of Robert Redford, Sundance Channel brings television viewers daring and engaging feature films, shorts, documentaries, world cinema and animation, shown uncut and with no commercials. Through its original programs, Sundance Channel connects viewers with filmmakers, the creative process, and the world of independent film. Launched in 1996, Sundance Channel is a venture of Robert Redford, Showtime Networks Inc., and Universal Studios. Sundance Channel operates independently of the non-profit Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival, but shares the overall Sundance mission of supporting independent artists and providing them with wider opportunities to present their work to audiences.

With monthly filmfests including "She Said Cinema," "Arte Latino," "Sonic Cinema," "Representing Soul," and "Inside Out: Sundance Film Festival," Sundance Channel features a variety of current films and points of view. Original programs include Conversations in World Cinema, Anatomy of a Scene, and 24 Frame News.

[Guava Jelly]

[NYC Liberal]

24. Awesome!

Daily Show at 11, then Al Franken at 11:30.

:)

[NYCGirl]

26. Great, isn't it? Couldn't be more perfect if they planned it that way!

NT

[Khephra]

39. The programing exec at Sundance stated that they DID plan it that way

He said he hoped people would watch the Daily Show and then tune into Al as they're a perfect combo.

Now we can pretend that TOUGH CROWD doesn't even exist!

:evilgrin:

[AlFrankenFan]

27. wish I had sundance

:cry:

[NYCGirl]

28. I guess you could do like on the commercials, and "call your local cable

company and request Sundance Channel"

Couldn't hurt!

[burythehatchet]

29. YEAH...I have Sundance.

[Cleita]

31. Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't even know that I got Sundance, but I do! :bounce:

[burythehatchet]

32. Holy shit....Al lost it when talking about the casualties.

[burythehatchet]

33. Al is really hot..."this admin has blood on its hands"

[NYCGirl]

34. It's Amber, the Republican stripper!

NT

[Eric J in MN]

36. Was she really showing cleavage or did they just say that on the radio? nt

nt

[burythehatchet]

37. her flirting with Al was hilarious

I can't get enough Franken

[Eric J in MN]

42. What was "Amber" wearing? nt

nt

[burythehatchet]

45. A very skimpy tank top and skin tight jeans.

steamy

[Khephra]

35. I'll add what I posted in the Lounge thread since it seems everyone

is posting in this thread.

---

Also, since Sundance doesn't have ads (Well, except for the ads for Sundance, which surprised me), they'll be able to fit in more than an hour of Franken's show, considering just how many frigging comercials the radio show has each day. They'll also probably cut out the news at the top of the hour. All in all, I bet they'll be able to squeeze in almost two hours worth of radio show in an hour slot.

I can't wait to see the stripper for Bush. That segment had me LMAO!

---

ADS ON SUNDANCE? Now that sucks even though it's Sundance ads.

I will say this, it looks like I might just watch this instead of listening to the afternoon show. They're pretty much showing all the guests, or at least that's what it looked like from the line-up.

I think they're gain a lot of cutting time by leaving out calls and ads. We miss a guest or two, but I need some extra time in the afternoon and I'd be taping this anyway.

---

The fillers like the Lester "ad" and the Oy Oy Oy intro were unexpected. I like!

---

It's nice to be able to see pictures of some of the guests to be able to place a face to their voice.

[Cleita]

38. This is a repeat of the show I listened to this morning.

It's really nice to put a face on everyone though. I am enjoying this.

[Khephra]

41. It looks like they're able to squeeze most of the good parts in the show

into an hour by cutting out the radio ads, news updates and calls. As I said in the above post, I think I'm going to watch this at night instead of listening during the day.

I don't really mind missing the calls, especially Al's conservative friend. I usually turn it off when he calls in as he drives me up the wall. I hear conservatives all the time, I don't want to hear them on OUR station, thank you very much. I wish Al and Janeane would drop those calls from their shows. I listened to them a few times, but after hearing them never give ground call after call it became clear that it was just a waste of airtime.

[burythehatchet]

40. Ms. Lanpher is very sexy (to us 40 somethings)

[Khephra]

43. I totally agree. I thought she was sexy before I ever saw her picture

Smart and political is better than artifical (as in body parts), self-absorbed, and vapid.

I started a thread on this very topic in the Lounge and then someone had to go and post pictures of Bush supporters acting slutty.

:evilfrown:

[burythehatchet]

44. Its her laugh more than anything else

it sounds like a song. A caller once referred to it as a "cocktail party" laugh

[NYCGirl]

47. And a commercial for THE LAST DETAIL, uncut and uncensored on Sundance!

Great film, perhaps Nicholson's best performance

[Eric J in MN]

48. If you watched "Al Franken" on tv, did you like it? nt

nt

[burythehatchet]

49. I think it was awesome. Its going to be a daily PVR recording

[NYCGirl]

50. A "Season Pass" has been set up on my TiVo to get all episodes.

Although I listen to Franken on AAR while I'm at work, there are lots of times I can't really concentrate, or have to leave my desk, etc. This makes sure I get the facts!
