This probably won't interest anyone outside of Western WA...

The article goes on to describe what the cast has been doing since the show was canceled. (Except for Bill Nye, I guess because everyone already knows what he's been doing.)

Very cool. Thanks for the heads up Jeff.
Be like Billy. Mind your manners.

 

[Jordan_E]

YES!
Loved that show!

 

[LarryDavenport]

I have the DVR set up to record it. Whatever happened to Ross Schafer? The last time I saw him he was hosting a game show.

 

[Jim Dalton]

Great show.

I remember the comedy channel airing it in the 90's - back when the channel was actually funny.

 

[BrianV]

Ah, I grew up on Almost live!, and my brother was actually in an episode (back in his child acting days).

I remember when they showed it on Comedya Central, but it wasn't nearly as funny with all the Seattle-specific jokes slashed out.

I'm on the other coast these days, so I won't be able to see it, sadly.

High-Fivin' White Guys for the win, as they say.

 

[Jordan_E]

I watched the beginning this morning after DVRing it, and man, those old clips were funny as hell! Sure, they're very Puget Sound area-specific, but that's why the show just killed for locals!

Green Riverdance!

It should also be noted that Almost Live!, I believe, was the birthplace of Bill Nye the Science guy, which many more people might be familiar with.

 

[LarryDavenport]

It was indeed the birth place of Bill Nye the Science Guy. And as usual for Almost Live, he blew something up real good!

 

[Tony J Case]

"Hey guys - can I be a high fiving white guy too?"

Damnit - I dont believe I missed this! Thats what I get for not watching TV!

 

[MishaLauenstein]

Thanks for posting this. I didn't see any ads for it and I missed it when highlighting this week's TV guide. Wouldn't have watched it without your heads-up. Thanks. It was a lot of fun.

I'd kill to have these on DVD. Maybe Belo can work something out with a small distributor.

 

[Jordan_E]

They are a time capsule of local Northwest living, and I would buy a DVD set!

 

[Michael Warner]

I had no idea this was on but saw it while channel surfing. I missed the first half but it was still good stuff. That show was just about the last gasp for locally produced sketch comdey shows. I was always amazed that it lasted as long as it did.
