FINALLY A SHOW (THAT'S REALLY) ABOUT NOTHING -- by Steve Nadis

I only saw a few minutes of this program so I don't want to knock it unfairly by saying it's a show about nothing. First of all, another show about nothing, as we know, ended up doing fairly well. But this one, called Nanalan, is actually about nothing, so far as I can tell. In the segment I saw with my preschooler (that's the target audience), a kid and her grandmother hang around the house humming and making funny noises in an unintelligible language. Whereas Seinfeld, despite the pretense of being about nothing, was actually about things (like masturbation, Chinese restaurants, fascistic soup vendors, etc.), Nanalan shows what true nothing is all about. Again, that's no knock on the program, which just might be a hit. At least they have one big fan in my youngest daughter.

2 - It has to be better than that crazy Teletubbies show with the "I was on mushrooms when I wrote this intro song" and the ever controversial PURPLE character carrying the handbag. (Comment this)

3 - I heard about that controversy, WFW. Around here, GS, you take channels 2, 11, & 44 to get there; I'm not sure how you get there from here. (Comment this)

GS, I entered Sesame St into Mapquest for over 9 major U.S. cities. No go. (Maybe they bought the rights?) Could be all that fresh clear CLEAN air means it's out in the Rockies somewhere... (Comment this)
