All You Need to Know about Norwegian TV in Six Minutes...

...Seriously. Watch the entire thing. I promise, it will be worth it. Keep in mind, this was a promo for their upcoming season.



I'll let you take a minute to collect yourself. Since I'm just as flustered as you are, I'm going to keep my thoughts brief.
--First of all, the thing that has to jump out to any Seinfeld fan is the reunion of the three principle participants in the Tonight Show hallway incident (Costanza, George Wendt from Cheers, and Corbin Bernsen AKA Roger Dorn from LA Law). Though I can't help but be disappointed they didn't play this up somehow, I'm thrilled just to see them all on the same screen again.
--Roger Moore looks exactly the same as he did in Live and Let Die: old.
--How in the world did they convince Glenn Close to do this? Shouldn't she have known something was up when they put her right next to Tonya Harding?
--I wouldn't hate seeing more of Katarina Witt. She plays a mean air guitar.
--No Carlton Banks dance? If ever there was a time, this was it. Come on Alfonso.
--What would the Premier of Russia have said if he saw Drago singing like that? No wonder they started cheering for Rocky and basically conceded the Cold War.
--No matter how many times I see Ray Pruitt, I'll never forgive him for pushing Donna Martin down the stairs.
--Bud Spencer is a stone face killer.
--Did Jason Alexander know this was a joke, and just didn't care? Nobody actually acts like that if they think they're doing this for real, right?
--It doesn't look like Robert Englund was wearing very much makeup in Nightmare on Elm Street after all.
--I'm shocked Right Said Fred weren't booked when they were putting this together.
--I want to watch this show, I don't care what it's about.

Apparently, there was some confusion as to what these actors were getting themselves into. However, there is no confusing the fact that a finer piece of filmmaking will not be seen the rest of this year, nay, this decade.
