rebroadcast will be up at nowinla.com, look for the "mixed media" show which is the miles&greg show.
yousef was primary guest and was great as always. callers included iris and GOGO (whose entry caused the chatroom to go into beatlemania-like swoons).
not suprisingly, miles&greg did not address the glenn issues. there was some discussion of it in the chat room. and a slew of "save glenn" avatars of every possible variety scrolled up the right side of the screen which was unreal (including ALL the ones i made, though i wasn't doing it).

I have to congratulate our own Gogo on the amazing response she received when calling in! It was utterly incredible just as Milo said and is exemplary of what a respected poster you are!
And milo- you forgot to mention we're famous! ;-)

Listening to this really brought it all into focus for me. Despite what the creators might say, they have zero artistic integrity. I can't speak of their integrity as people, but as artists, it isn't there. I really believe that if someone paid them enough, they would throw the Bree character under a bus. And if you asked them, I'd half expect them to freely admit it.
On 3/20/07 they are still claiming they are committed to realism. To do that is to ignore the last six months, to insult our intelligence, and boggle my mind.
Those two points sum up everything that I find wrong with the show, and also why I feel no amount of our bitching will ever make the show what we want it to be. Some say "stop bitching or stop watching," but I did something that gave me some insight...
I visited a soap opera message board. One for General Hospital, the show Miles mentioned offhandedly as a model for success. There I found hundreds of people bitching about which characters they hate, plot holes, and people nostalgic for seasons that were over years ago. They don't think they're influencing the production. They just like getting together and bitching. There are entire threads set up for this purpose, yet it still spills into the other threads so that the whole board is mostly bitching. A couple of representative thread titles: "Geez what CRAPTASTIC writing for this story today" and "This all sucks." But these are the fans of the show, and among the all-caps ranting, there are smileys and 'lol's and off-topic tangents about ipods, and no one is yelling at anybody else to shut up.
LG is a soap opera. Sometimes the creators admit this. Sometimes they spew bullshit propoganda and talk about the show as if we were still in the week after the reveal. Again, intelligence = insulted, mind = boggled. And I'm not sure I want to keep listening to their radio show because of it.
But LG continues...and those who continue to watch, like me, do so for the same reason that Bree and Daniel post videos: a rare form of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. It can't be that we watch for the writing, cause we all know it's CRAPTASTIC.
edit to add: Oh, and Yousef rocks!
