CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #277

Belarus is a small, land-locked country next door to Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. According to Wikipedia, one of its major exports is cattle by-products. Which begs the question, what horrible shape are the cattle in, if all they're good for is felt hats and wallpaper paste? But Belarus does have a bustling TV production industry. One of their most recent hits is a sitcom about four nerdy scientists who live next door to a beautiful blonde waitress. The characters are named Sheldon, Leo, Hovard, Raj and Natasha, and the show is entitled, The Theorists. Each episode begins with a rapid-fire montage of images which takes us from the dawn of time to the present moment. Keeping with that theme, the montage is scored with what is probably the worst piece of recorded pop music since the dawn of time. And finally, each episode appears to be a Russian translation of a Big Bang Theory episode. When we brought this to the attention of the Warner Brothers legal department, we were told that it's next to impossible to sue for copyright infringement in Belarus because the TV production company that is ripping us off is owned and operated by the government of Belarus. Having no other recourse, I'm hoping that this vanity card will be read by the fine folks making The Theorists, and, wracked with guilt, they break down and send us some felt hats. The Kyrgyzstan version of Dharma & Greg already sent me some wallpaper paste.

My husband and I saw this and laughed like a couple of loons. Just goes to prove that if you are Firefly you may be cancelled but you will never be forgotten! As I recall the original Star Trek only lasted a season or two and was cancelled as well and then became a mega franchise a decade later. Someone should wise up and learn from TV history!

Three, I believe it was, but who's counting?


Oh, and Buffy got a shout-out of sorts on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" tonight. Christine was talking to her ex about donating sperm so she could have another baby, and told him to go to the clinic, where they'd "put you in a room, you watch an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and BOOM, you're done."

I'm not sure how that context makes me feel. I mean, I'm glad they got the mention, but I never thought of Buffy as porn. Maybe I need to rewatch it!
