John Lehr and John McCray are, respectively, the creator of and historical consultant for the TV show Quick Draw (Hulu) (above). Messrs. McCray and Lehr are also my two oldest friends, and we spent most of our late childhoods and early adulthoods together.
Their appearances on today’s Media Room Live! were, ostensibly, part of this publication’s “Top 25 Sitcom Episodes Of All Time” series. You can see the first ten shows on that list here and the first Honorable Mention here.
We had planned to discuss “Nicodemus,” Season 1 Episode 6, another Honorable Mention. As you will see, we spent an hour screwing around and reminiscing about the halcyon days of our youth.
Although we did eventually discuss Quick Draw and “Nicodemus,” I must warn my readers that this particular episode of Media Room Live! is crude, profane, and filled with inappropriate references to taboo topics.
Again, I’m really sorry about this.
October 1: ensemble 132
Next week we should get back on track with ensemble 132’s Sahun Sam Hong and other members of the group about their album Masques and Marionettes to be released the next day, October 2.
Hong arranged Stravisnsky’s famous ballet Petrushka for piano quintet (above) and Robert Schumann’s solo piano compositionCarnaval for piano quartet.
Masques and Marionettes also includes Stravinsky’s Two Poems of Konstantin Balmont and Clara Schumann’s Three Romances for Violin and Piano.
