Pull Rob's Nob

OK, so we invented a segment called, "Rock Review of the Week," and met a bunch of cool and insane musicians. Some of them, like Rod Abernathy of Arrogance and about a thousand other bands, had toys. This one we found quite interesting so we did an interview with the toy. So cutting edge it is hard to imagine. The toys name was Rob, imagine that...

Back To School -- Street People

Every year in every town in America it is "back to school" time. We love that time of year and always had fun leaving the television studio and going out into the world to see what was happening as school was about to start. Colorful characters appeared almost everywhere we went and this particular afternoon was no exception. Meet Berferd.

Weird Man

Several years ago, actually before reality TV proliferated the airwaves, we met with a television executive in Los Angeles. As we were discussing double cheeseburgers, the saltiness of fries and the potential to syndicate Rob and Bill's TalkShow, he told us that he thought we should film in a studio behind a desk like "traditional" talk shows. For some reason he didn't think that people would ever watch reality TV. He said the public was just too sophisticated to watch television that wasn't high quality production value and not scripted. I guess the public became less sophisticated.

Rob and Bill "lived outside the box," "broke the TV rules," "changed the game," "shifted paradigms" and a bunch of other over used business bingo phrases.

Take "Weird Man." Now that was just plain old unscripted genius and reality fun.
