15. My own personal reign of tv terror

Wed May 15, 2013, 05:37 AM

May 2013

Ran from about 1989 to 1995. We did an hour-long show once a month called Alive and Dangerous. That started out as basically an excuse to just run amuck on TV because no one could stop us. Later we became a bit more focused on doing parodies of other access shows, as well as having recurring comedic segments. We would edit the live show down into a half hour called Hi Density TV and that got a fair bit of airplay.

People came and went, eventually we began to run out of gas as folks decided raising families was more important that being access TV stars. That's how dreams die and people like Alex Jones take over the channels.
