Tiki Bar TV Forum

They replayed the episode on G4TV today, but my DVR's recording is horked up.  Unless pixelation and dropouts are supposed to be part of the interview!  What I got was so bad that I couldn't even follow the interview.

And the interview still isn't up on iTunes.  The only thing from the 16th is the "Daily Feed".

Thanks!

Cool!  I am beginning to doubt that G4TV is going to post the interview themselves.

(I also thought the interview wasn't all that great -- I'd have liked a little more info on the genesis of the show, the backgrounds of the cast members, etc.  Perhaps that was too much to expect for such a short piece.)

I agree, the guy interviewing the good Dr. sucked.  My opinion is Dr. T did very well in the context of what he had to work with.  Maybe that interviewing guy should spend less time pretending to be cool and more time on learning how to do a good interview.

If you ask this Monkey...

Kevin Pereira was acting more like a comedian than a host.  It seemed like he was trying to make the interview funny himself instead of letting our good Doctor try and make the interview funny.  Kevin is a comedian and AOTS is a comedy show.  The show and everyone working on it are relatively young and gaining experience, that is what gives the show its character and makes it AOTS.  Not everyone can be David Letterman or John Stuart and thank goodness for the variety that niche channels like G4TV supports.

I think Dr Tiki did an admirable job trying to go with Kevin's lead.  I don't know if it was a conscience effort.  Maybe I am just projecting what I want to see.

Personally I like Kevin Pereira and AOTS.  The show occasionally plays off of his "borderline jerk" personality is humorous and self-deprecating ways.  Office Jesus practically kills me!


...spell checker to the rescue again.  This is too much for a strung-out simian!

i think we should continue to refer to the director as Doctor Tiki.

Mr. Ambassador agrees.

What kind of interviewer tries to talk more than his guest?  Interupting the guest's anecdote to re-tell jokes that the guest just told?  Interupting the guest to re-attempt jokes a second time that didn't play the first time?

"Infotainment" is not a punchline.

Exactly. I rolled my eyes a few times.

Wow... way to revive an ANCIENT thread! I almost thought Doc would be on AGAIN.

lol yeah

Awesome video, audio was off sync in the beginning but seemed to catch up after a minute or so
