Recorded at Case de Burgener's, 2/20/09, in front of a live studio audience.

Producer's Note: So good to be back, gang. Far too long between broadcasts. A few network switches, but like you, we've hung in there. We present a short game this evening, but good times to be had nonetheless.

Extra Aside: Episode was running a little long this time out, so you'll probably notice that we didn't get to play alot of Movie Rounds. Yes, I was sad about that too. Not too worry, we'll remedy this for the next time. I'll see to that. :)
