we have 4 tickets to "Television Preview"
this Saturday night. we go and watch a pilot, and we get to play TV God. i feel warm and tingly knowing i have the power to decide whether a show lives or dies. :bounce:

and we could win prizes.

so, we have two extra tickets. who wants to go?

i can't promise this isn't some Scientology scam though. Xenu help us.

2. I've done that before
It's pretty fun if the show is watchable.

3. Television Preview jumped the shark when Laura and Fred hooked up
i was like, "oh whatever, that's so contrived"

5. if it's anything like the one I went to once...
...that's a couple hours of your life that you'll never get back.

When I did it, the TV 'previews' were old, old failed TV pilots, mixed amongst commercials. It was patently obvious that it was all just marketing research for products, not a testbed for new shows.

It really, really sucked. :( Hope yours is better! Xenu failed me. :cry:
