OHHHHH, KAY!

In order to dilute the connection being forged with the holiday season in our national sub-conscience, here are two "modifications" to a recent Kay's commercial.

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one to find that guy creepy.....

"GAME OF THRONES" IN PRODUCTION

Not sure if I shared this one yet, but I'm cleaning out my files and figured I'd better use it now and then toss it.

From Wikipedia:
Condoleezza Rice (born November 14, 1954) is an American political scientist and diplomat. She served as the 66th United States Secretary of State, and was the second person to hold that office in the administration of President George W. Bush. Rice was the first female African-American secretary of state, as well as the second African American (after Colin Powell), and the second woman (after Madeleine Albright). Rice was President Bush's National Security Advisor during his first term, making her the first woman to serve in that position. Before joining the Bush administration, she was a professor of political science at Stanford University where she served as Provost from 1993 to 1999. Rice also served on the National Security Council as the Soviet and East European Affairs Advisor to President George H.W. Bush during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and German reunification.

Following her confirmation as Secretary of State, Rice pioneered the policy of Transformational Diplomacy, with a focus on democracy in the Greater Middle East. Her emphasis on supporting democratically elected governments faced challenges as Hamas captured a popular majority in Palestinian elections, and influential countries including Saudi Arabia and Egypt maintained authoritarian systems with U.S. support. While Secretary of State, she chaired the Millennium Challenge Corporation's board of directors.

In March 2009, Rice returned to Stanford University as a political science professor and the Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution. In September 2010, Rice became a faculty member of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a director of its Global Center for Business and the Economy.

* If anybody out there is familiar with this actress from the German comedy series, can you clue me in as to who she is? I get the feeling this is blackface (a la Bernhard Hoecker as Bruce Darnell), but who knows?

BIG "WHO" NEWS!

As a finale for today's edition of the Video Weekend......

The big Toobworld news this week was that two long-lost episodes of 'Doctor Who' have been found and will soon be available to the public. They've already had at least one public showing at the BFI festival last week or so.

One of the episodes is from the story "Galaxy 4" which was an adventure with William Hartnell as the First Incarnation of the Doctor.

Here's a clip:

The second missing episode came from "The Underwater Menace" starring my favorite Doctor, Patrick Troughton, the Time Lord's Second Incarnation.

And we have a clip from that as well:

SHERLOCK & THE DOCTOR (AND WE'RE NOT TALKING WATSON!)

Another series I can't wait for - 'Sherlock'. But at least it'll be here a lot sooner than 'Game Of Thrones'.

And since I always like to have some 'Doctor Who' content on the weekend, here's a couple of mash-ups for you:

SKED ALERT: "GAME OF THRONES" PREVIEW

The new season of 'Game Of Thrones' can't come soon enough for me....

"BEST FRIENDS"

Here's one of my favorite of the SNL Digital Shorts. I can't get the tune out of my head!

BALOK... AND LOADED

It's not often we get to see the original actor play his Toobworld role in Skitlandia; usually that falls to the members of the variety show's cast. A good example had Vinnie Barbarino and Lennie & Squiggy, all in a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch about a Tarantinoesque version of 'Welcome Back, Kotter'.  Everybody else in the sketch was played by a member of the show's cast.

But here's another - Balok from 'Star Trek', as played by Clint Howard:

BOOK 'EM, BUSEY!

Since we were talking about the new version of 'Hawaii Five-O' the other day, here are a few clips from the true successor to Jack Lord's original series.....
