WWTBAM Bored

That kinda sounds like to start of a scary Halloween story.

Another Halloween YAY! Go for the treats!

On a related note, where's suitguy's Halloween show call??? If he doesn't get one, the other costumes must have been truly spectacular.

I started a new thread cause I didn't want to rain on Rafferty's parade. There was no Halloween call to me, I don't even know if they are having a Halloween week. I did hear of rumor of one. I'll be looking for Halloween promos.

I gave it my best shot, perhaps I was a bit over the top. It was a lot of fun dreaming about running the stack as a Flying Monkey and the kind of sensation that would have created. TPTB didn't share that dream.

Aw.... you need some cheering up!

This is the 50th portrait I've posted here so far! Yay!

TPTB could see the MAWG beneath the costume.

Bastards!

That works! Thanks!

I think it is more likely they canned the whole costume concept.

Otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

Ah, shoot. I think your costume would have been awesome.

Christie, this is TPTB. TPTB, this is christie.

It's obvious, you've never met.

Are there any of you I HAVEN'T met yet?

Multiple times.....

Hey, what's with this Hello Kitty format on this Bored? Has Skip been hacking into my account again?

Well, you haven't gone to visit Kazoo, yet...

I emailed my contacts asking when they were going to tape the Halloween Week shows. I did not get a reply from any of them.

Thanks for trying

I'm very sorry that they aren't doing a Halloween show this year and including you in their taping schedule.

you could still get a call for the regular show. Why not??

Kay, this is TPTB. TPTB, this is Kay.

I join you in that fantasy, but my application was so "all in" for Halloween week that they don't even know what I look like. (NTTIAWWT)

Sorry Tmitsss, I definitely feel your pain about not getting the call. I definitely would have watched that episode.

I have plenty of room on my ship. There's a giant hole in the bottom, but plenty of room.

This so completely stinks.

I REALLY wanted to see you in the Hot Seat in that outfit!

I don't know if it's been brought up, but I had the thought that there may be a copyright issue with tmitsss's costume. Turner Broadcasting, or whoever it is that owns the copyright to the "Wizard of Oz" movie these days, may require payment for its broadcast use. If so, 'BAM's lawyers may have realized this too late to warn auditioners about it.

If there is a Halloween show, I'll be interested to see if the costumes are all generic or otherwise uncopyrightable characters.

The copyright issue did cross my mind. The flying monkey costumes for sale on the web don't seem to be licensed. The one costume I heard a rumor about was a Star Trek character.

How much might such a licensing fee be, for an incidental appearance in a half-hour game show?

I'm thinking that tmitsss would be quite willing to pay it!

I just hope I don't have to pay licensing fees on my MM's each time a trademarked one posts.....

Yeah, but just think, if some people have to pay for every HK invocation...

Good thinking! Dave needs to hack into the HK interface and have HK holding out her hand each time someone logs onto the Bored with that background.....

I went to a taping once, and the contestant had a tie with a cartoon character on it (I think it was a Looney Tunes character). They started taping the show, and then during the initial banter before the game started they stopped tape. They made him take off his tie and put another tie on, and then they started taping all over again.

I think they might have hit on something. Speaking of ties, I had to sign a release so that they could show my episode while wearing the tie my daughter designed when she was 5 - and it had no characters on it except some stick figures (that is virtually impossible to see on the tape).
