Fantasy Bedtime Hour

Post by Romeo »

Lost the link? It can now be found on the Links page of the official site. :D

Steve met the cast and crew while on his book tour in San Francisco. They gave him a DVD with all the episodes (he's always had trouble in the past trying to view them on the web), and now he's HOOKED. 8O

Hook, line, and sinker - rod, reel, and boat.

That is excellent news, Romeo! I'm glad SRD has given his seal of approval by linking to the Fantasy Bedtime Hour. It was Mark Jeffrey who first brought the site to our attention, and I've been tickled silly by it ever since. I love the two gals! :lol:

Not many people responded to Jeffrey's post way back, which surprised me. I'm still puzzled as to why there hasn't been more talk among Watchers about the Fantasy Bedtime Hour. This is buried treasure on the 'net! It's hilarious stuff, folks! C'mon, check it out! :D

Personally, I find it hilarious. Especially Atrium's rap version of the history of Berek Halfhand. It's not to be missed.

I think it was actually one of the first sites I found when I googled "Thomas Covenant."

Glad SRD found it amusing. I saw on their site somewhere they were hoping he'd come on the show and be the Ultimate Expert, which though probably not likely would be a complete crack-up.

hahaha... I"m just watching episode 1... My God this is hilarious stuff!!! :)

I wonder though... Do we really need the live action movie when these girls have been acting out the story? :)

Gotta love the show...my personal favorite was Covenant's climbing down Kevin's Watch, cursing the whole way. :lol:

I think the live action pieces add spice to the experience. The actor who plays Covenant is a riot!

I'd love love love to see the show, but dialup takes forever with such things. Maybe some day...

It's absolutely brilliant.

Every time I've ever tried to look at it, it's either frozen or caused my computer to develop leprosy :?

I want to go be an expert for them but I'm not sure I can get through all the episodes... quite a lot of watching there.

Go for it, zenslinger! It would be cool and surreal to have a KW member on the show. :)

I "borrow" a computer with dialup every so often to download new episodes. I wonder if the people from the show would be willing to send out CDs. Or there's nothing to stop people with broadband/cable from saving the Quicktime files to a CD-R and sending them to those of us with dial-up. I can do a few, if anyone is curious, as I have a few CDs lying around.

Since I saw this thread, I've been working my way through the shows while working from home (more like "shirking from home" :wink: ). They're a bit patchy but on the whole bloody hilarious.

The only thing is I can't help but visualise TC as the actor who was playing him now! :roll:

It worked this time, but the only one I had the patience to watch was the first one. The "mechanical walk" was hilarious :lol:

Finally got around to watching the first episode today - as Johnny Carson used to say, "That is some wild, wild stuff."
