I must be a sad case, I actually watched it until then end.

I think it was a cross between Cheers and Friends....

Vermin got over his hangover pretty quickly!

@ pierre, i thought this was a comedy show, sat on the couch with a spoon of yohgurt and it was on the tele.

This is the future of advertising. I welcome it.

The ads will be sitcoms, or dramas within themselves. They will run during 'advertising hour' or similar. Your normal programming will have less advertising to draw people back from 'on demand'/internet TV.

Gold.

Compared to daytime tv that was well produced and quite intelligent.
Been pretty immobile for the last two weeks after a small surgery and will go quite insane if I watch much more of it.

I'm now up to date with all the must know celebrity gossip and I'm convinced that I need to buy funeral insurance, income insurance and an ab-king-pro.

Stitches out Tuesday, hopefully I still have some functional brain cells by then.

...that's how I imagine a 'morning-after-swinger-party-sleepover' would look...although probably not as much eye-eye contact.

(I've actually heard that those magic bullets are pretty good too)

I remember when my first daughter was born and sitting up doing feeds in the wee small hours. The only thing on the tv was infomercials- I decided I'd better not watch any more when I started to think the teeth whitening kits seemed like a good idea

Has anyone seen the ad for 'the renovator' tool? It nearly had me suckered. Bosch do one way cheaper and stronger tho.

I bought the same thing by Dremel (off the inter-webs), but my good friend bought the "Renovator". I resisted even looking at the "Renovator", primarily because it was one of those TV specials, complete with steak knives - I kid you not! The "Renovator" is a good looking product, cheaper than the Bosch or the Dremel and its spare blades etc are far cheaper. Having spent time with my friend's "Renovator" I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the brand name item. Do a bit of Googling. I found 8 (iirc) different brand names of the same type of tool around the globe, and the "Renovator" was the cheapest I could find. Now that I've seen one and played with one (in depth), when I'm fed up with the cost of blades for mine I intend to buy one. The Bosch doesn't have anything like the same solid feel and its blades are 2+ times the price. Bosch is just a name. Their handyman stuff comes out of the same Chinese factories, just like nearly everything these days. The Dremel is actually German made - and not worth the extra cost.

Yes, that's right. Most respectfully - do a bit of Googling

Dremel is most definitely not German made, however, the Fein Multimaster, from which all other oscillating tools are derived, is German made, and very highly recommended. On the other hand, you can buy the "Renovator" - good for "blaming the tools" when the job goes wrong.

Back to the topic - I don't see how this is different to any other "but wait, there is more" kind of infomercial. And I cannot see how this product is any better than a stick-blender.

We're watching the wrong TV programs.

My former sister-in-law used to sell... sex toys for women around the country side where she used to live. She says it's just like Tupperware, but dildos and the likes instead.

Now, that's the show I'd like to watch (or perhaps not, depending on the crowd).
