Perfect Strangers In Seattle?

Everybody remembers 'Perfect Strangers', right? The lovable Balki Bartokomous and his Cousin Larry Appleton living together in Chicago.... Well, Ian Hugh Fraser and Christopher Bange recreated the show's intro using Seattle, Washington as the backdrop.... We need more of these! I want to see the 'Full House' intro in Baltimore, Maryland! Or the 'Laverne and Shirley' intro in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Ooooooh, or the 'Moonlighting' intro in New York City! Ok, now all of you get an expression of shock on your face and say 'NEW YORK CITY!?!?!' Sorry.... I had to do it....



By the way, did you know that Louie Anderson was cast for the role of Larry Appleton in the original pilot episode? It's true! Look!

All Together Now

I'm a little late to the game with this, but I love this commercial! Budweiser hired advertising agency DDB UK to create a commercial to promote their product in the United Kingdom (probably to try to take a little bit of the market share from Guinness)....

The commercial is set to the Beatles song, “All Together Now,” covered by the band The Hours. It reportedly took the Beatles less than six hours (all in one day) to record "All Together Now" at Abbey Road Studios in London

The filming of this commercial took director Chris Palmer and his crew more than 50 hours over 5 days.... With all the film being shot from an elevated train circling downtown Chicago.... Try to see if you can spot all the visualized lyrics. I didn't see the 'C' or the 'H' the first time I watched the video....

Take That Dallas Cowboys

Damn it! Chicago is now out of the running to host the Olympic games in 2016! Maybe they'd have had a different opinion if America had a few fans like this.... All we'd do is the stupid wave.... Maybe Jerry Jones can install them in Cowboys Stadium.
