I just LOVED that episode!

its a wonderful life is so awsome and cool

Oh man…I love that movie so much that I thought this episode was kind of dumb when I first heard it. But coming back to it now…I think it’s hilarious! Great job guys. And only die-hard credits browsers like me would notice that they used all the actor’s names from the movie (e.g. Lionel Barrymore for Mr. Lionel, Ward Bond for the policeman). “Pedal and petal” was cute too. Fun dialogue to follow if you have the movie memorized like me 😀 I love how Eugene screams HELP exactly like Clarence!
B on December 31st, 2009 - 7:16pm
And I really like Chuck’s performance too. He really captured the spirit of Jimmy Stewart there…what a fun tribute to a great actor! Hey by the way, if you’ve never watched Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, that’s a really awesome Jimmy Stewart film too. Not as well known as Wonderful Life of course, but really terrific in its own way.

And, Does A.C.T.S. stand for anything? And what is Katie Leigh’s favorite color? When is Shona going to be on the air?

Oh…hi……..haven’t been here in a while…. ok my turn
Don’t you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music’s gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound
AIO ROCKS SOOO MUCH <3 <3!!!
