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.

Back to School - The A,B,C's

Whoa. So, some trojan virus snuck into the Rob and Bill computer and sucked the life out of the hard drive and the blogging was temporarily halted. maybe it was the pig flu? Heaven forbid that Rob and Bill could not blog. No burgers, no fries, no greasy buckets of chicken. Sorry for the lack of drivel but with all the pap on television you had plenty to do. Now where were we?....

Oh yeah, from our back to school episode we found this amazing talent.
I wonder if Elmo heard this guy if he would be on Sesame street or Talk Soup?

Hitting a Few Buckets

Now that The Masters is over and everyone is thinking about hitting a few buckets out at the range it seemed appropriate to post some early Rob and Bill golfing video. The hosts did not have the cash at that time for ProV1's. Please leave your comments and any instructional tips you might have.

Grease Of The Week

Perhaps there is no segment more universally understood than grease of the week. Franchisees used to think it was a negative slang but no way. Grease means love in Rob and Bill language. Gazillions and gazillions sold means it's good. Either that or there is crack inside the bun. When someone tells you they are tired of bad fast food let's just face the fact that they are lying. There is nothing better on the planet when someone is really hungry (or hungover) and wants to chow down than America's own fast food joy. Here is a little video montage on some of the first greasy segments ever done. Let us know what your favorite fast food is and why.

The World's First 37 Minute TalkShow

Early in the show's life we decided to title the program "The Worlds First 37 Minute TalkShow." That was because when we finished the first show it timed out to be 37 minutes. But more importantly, we didn't have any other title. True genius. So it stuck for a while, even when the episodes were 54 minutes, 43 minutes or 29 minutes. We really weren't sticklers for details at that time. Then one day we decided to do a show with a theme. Seemed like it just happened really. It think it was about the 6th or 7th show on Cable Access. It was called The Brain Dead Episode (more on this episode later). We welcome and encourage any comments on this one for sure. The best comment will get a full blog entry dedicated to the person and the entry.
