Seattle’s “Almost Live”
Jodi and I have taken to watching the reruns of Almost Live, ever since King5 hosted a reunion show this past summer. It’s an hilarious show, and – as recent transplants to Seattle – it pains me a bit to see that this show is no longer on.
Picture Saturday Night Live (even with a “Weekend Update” equivalent), except 30 mins long and VERY locally oriented. Jokes about the kingdome or local political figures from 15 years ago are still funny, and they’re giving us a good sense of Seattle political history, but it’s a shame we don’t get satired local news for today…
In any case, bravo to King5 for hosting this show over the years, the reruns each week, and the reunion. And bravo to the cast, writers, producers, crew, etc for a great show that we’re really enjoying each week, even in reruns!
