Guh.

It was part of the joke. Their last great episode was 30 years ago...in other words all episodes since then sucked...obviously the show was not made 30 years ago. The word last is not used as final, it is used as immediatly previous. The schedule still says the next episode is on sept 2 as usual.

About this last episode, not final but previous, I didn't really like it that much. It's kind of getting old. Perhaps the trailers should be brought back. If not that, perhaps bring back some more known characters that haven't been used much like Chef and maybe bring back Animal and Dr. Teeth. These guys did a pretty good job with them. The guy who does Sam is really good.

ok i get the joke now! :smile: duh! :stick_out_tongue: LOL hahahahah!!!

WHAT?!!!!?!

I respect your opion but I have to strongly disagree.
When Eric Jacobson performed Sam in MWOO that was the best Sam since Frank.
The From the Balcony version just doesn't cut it, and at some points it truly hard to listen to.

I really hope that even if they don't bring back Dave & Steve to perform Statler & waldorf that they will use the regular performers for the inserts bits.

Just recently saw this episode and I really enjoyed it! I especially liked the "Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind"!

I think he's decent enough for a short webisode. I like Eric as THE Sam, but obviously Disney won't pay the higher prices for THE Sam. I'd rather have some nice well known characters instead of that annoying Ted Thomas. He was funny for a minute or 2 but how many times can you use the same joke? He's kind of like Marvin Suggs. Funny in small bits but not all the time.

Victor and Drew performed Statler and Waldorf on a cruise show when Whitmire, Nelson, and Goelz performed. I wouldn't doubt that they would return to the cruise lines to do that again.

So Dave and Steve were on the cruise at the same time but didn't do Statler and Waldorf? Were they doing other characters at the time?

That latest episode was really great! I especially loved the part with George Lucas (even if he did sound pretty much exactly like Waldorf lol).

I'm sure they were performing Kermit and Gonzo.
