Review for Young Ones, The - Every Stoopid Episode

TVShowsOnDVD.com: "Yeah, shut up, Neil! We've got videos to talk about, haven't we, Mike?'
'The Young Ones' was a BBC show about 4 very different (and unlikable) college boys who shared a home: Mike 'The Cool Person', Vyvyan 'The Punker', Neil 'The Hippie', and Rick 'The Complete Bastard'. The basic premise was that these lads got into all kind of strange situations, and you never knew what would happen next. The producers got it classified as a 'variety show', in a clever move to get the series paid at a higher rate, simply by tossing in one live musical act per episode. The Young Ones lasted for two seasons (or 'series', in British terms): the first 6-episode run was in 1982, and the second set of six aired in 1984. The show found an enthusiastic USA audience (myself included) when, in 1986, MTV aired all twelve episodes with only moderate cuts for the American censors."

We proceeded down the hallway flanked by doors, unsure as to whether the desire not to surprise someone for the sake of politeness overrode the rudeness of opening a closed door. At an impasse, we kept walking down the hallway, not opening any doors. But, we rapidly became trapped, when we realized that the only way out of this hallway was to open a door. Because it seemed the least likely to be the entrance to an office, bathroom or weird eastern European slave dungeon, we chose the last door the h...

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
