Yeah, that was a great episode and that is what got to me thinking I wish they would rotate the hosts every season if not every episode.

Entertaining episode. Hilarious story about the Dodgeball Machine. That movie stills sucks, though.

The Vince Vaughn Wild West Comedy Tour conversations sound forced, but I'm interested in seeing it.

Great show. My favorite episode was the one with Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner anf Colin Ferrell (I think). The give and take between Affleck and Smith was great.

I know about the dvd-r fiasco from Amazon a few months ago, but did the remaining seasons ever come out on pressed dvds?

After checking this out I took the plunge on Amazon and bought the entire series for only $75.

What a steal that was. I've burned through about 3 episodes a night thus far. EXCELLENT show -- though some are better than others.

Thanks to everyone who recommended this one!

This show was still on?!?!?! I thought it got discontinued. I was just thinking about it the other day too. Hmm. Oh well maybe it will show up on DVD some day.

Dinner for Five

Just curious if anyone else here remembers the show Dinner for Five. Wondering why this show isn't available via streaming because it's not like the show featured clips from movies/shows or music that may need clearance.

Are there any shows available that are similar?

Re: Dinner for Five

IIRC, wasn't this just a roundtable talk with various celebrities while eating some food? Plenty of stuff out there these days like that but it's all online. Hot Ones, for example.

Loved it back in the day. I want to say it got a DVD release at some point which I may actually own.
Doing a little search, it appears to be available on YouTube.

Re: Dinner for Five

Does Jason Biggs and his wife Mollie do something similar on TBS?

Dinner with Biggs is okay, but don't touch the dessert!

Gah he will never escape it. Arnie has leaning in and saying “I’ll be back”. Bogart has “here’s to looking at you, kid”. Biggs has standing there with a pie on his crotch.
