Remember the writer's strike? David Letterman's beard. Endless "reality tv" repeats. Public worries that the next season of "Two and a Half Men" might be delayed. Good times.
How did I cope? I read books, dog. How did Joss Whedon cope? Hilariously.
Imagine being rich and having funny actor friends and access to world-class video equipment. Now imagine none of you can work for current production. Now imagine what a great chance it would be to go down to the basement and make a three-part Web-based musical mini-series about an evil genius trying to gain entry into the exclusive Evil League of Evil but not entirely succeeding. (Perhaps partly because, woefully, his henchmen sport dastardly powers like having unnaturally moist hands.)
I know! Such a great idea. And the end results are stunningly clever.
PS - How, how, how is "Two and a Half Men" so popular?! (Top 10 show; 9.2 million dumass viewers weekly.) Still, Chuckles gave us "Big Bang Theory." All is forgiven. Oh, and "Debaser" by The Pixies rocks, now playing on iTunes.
