Hi Gang.
I was thinking recently....is the time right for a new updated "compilation" show? I have'nt been keeping track, but the last one i remember was quite a while ago ( mostly 00/01/02 cuts on it).
As much as i oppose rampant "recycling"...it IS a good idea to keep the one generic backup show current. Some gems should be seen again and with the load of material that has been produced through the past decade i would say there is lots to pcik from.
So what do you think should be on a forthcoming "generic" compilation show? Should there be a new one issued? Let your ideas be heard hear!
Is there a lineup of songs you would like to see? Keep in mind these skits have to qualify as "current"....meaning the current voice artists. So yeah, that means no pre-98 material okay?
Post your "dream" lineups of current material and make up a playlist for what you would put on the next generic compilation show.
I already suggested the X-mas Compilation, so this thread should be more about the year-round edition.
Probably the best compilation show i have seen is Jan 2000's release of "Chuck E.s Variety Show". I say this as it had all new voice intros and a lot of great skits. It also had some real gems from previous years intermissions ( including Classic Rat!) which ya gatta love! Variety was also LONG...over 2 hours..and most of the material was streached out enough so you did'nt feel it was becoming very repeitive. The last compilation was a quickie in that it was simply songs stuck together with no intos or new voicework. It left one with the impression of being a real "slap togther n' ship it" project. It was a shame, as the skits were great and it would have worked better if another Variety Show type layout was used ( with characters talking and setting up the songs beforehand.). Shoot...it did'nt even have a show intro! The curtains just suddenly opened, and the song started! ( curtains...remember those??)
So let's hear what ya'all have for ideas. Maybe your suggestions will spur the creation of the next compilation!
:D
