Fans discuss where to find episodes of Michael Richards' spinoff show, with difficulty locating it in the UK and seeking help from those with videotape copies.
Hi
I dont seem to be able to get to the binaries site for Seinfeld and wondered if anyone knows where to download the Michael Richards Show from. I havent found it on Kazza and havent found a site with any on.
Plus, being in the UK the odds on a TV channel over here picking the show up are.........well.......slim to say the least.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Throw out a holler to Ian
IF (and that is a BIG qualifier) he got his dupe back, then he might be inclined to do one for you. I didnt have or copy all the eps that were shown ;-(
Of course, I in no way speak for Ian...

Giddyup !!!!!!!!!!

kc actually put an episode of the MR show on the copy he made for me of the Seinfeld Weakest Link show, but I never got the tape back from the last guy I lent it to - and I can't remember his name. All I know is he works in Covent Garden and reads this newsgroup. If you're out there, please can I have it back? I'd be happy to lend it to Rich.
Ian
I have the NTSC Weakest Link/Michael Richards tape! I emailed Rich about sending it on to him but have received no reply.

Is it my one?

I don't know, sorry. Can't remember who sent it to me. It is on a JVC E-180 SX tape.
Rich has now got in touch and I'm sending the tape onto him if that's okay.

Do you work in Covent Garden?
Ian
No! Maybe I got it off the person who works there...?

Just a shame neither of us can remember who he is! ;-)

kc was just TOO stooooooooooooopid to *not* make a dupe of _The Weakest Link_ when he had the tape in his grubby little hands. (Well, actually they aren't little...)
kc
Well...Its kc again...
and when I get the chance, I will xfr the MR shows, and Bob Patterson that I can *find* w/o a full search of every tape I have. That would take years.
I do not have the horsepower at home, or the video capture card(s), otherwise I would DiVx the eps, and put them on my PC for sharing thru Kazaa.
However, I would also be willing to do a '2 hr' dupe for whomever, asking they then xfr them to a DiVx format, and send me copies on CDR, so I could in turn place them for sharing on my pc.
I may or may not have recorded these episodes (originally) at SP speed, via a satellite feed.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, all you're missing is a HUGE disappointment. The show was really, REALLY bad. :( "Rich" wrote in message news:aqmm6q$621$[email]...

What type of show was it?
All info I have is a brief thing in a paper a few years ago. I don�t relly remember what it said but I have been under the impression it was a talk show.
Was it?
Or a sitcom?

You must be thinking of The Merv Griffin episode. Nope Michaels Richard's show was a sit-com. (with very little com.)
From: http://www.pazsaz.com/mrichrd.html ====================================== The Michael Richards Show premiered on October 24, 2000. Michael Richards, master of physical comedy, stars as a former security patrolman who tries to start his own detective agency in a charmingly quirky and totally fresh new series. Vic Nardozza is on a quest for flexible hours, better pay and real respect. With his background in security, a six-week PI course and a gung-ho attitude, he's on his way to becoming a premier gumshoe. With a little help from his friends and the determination of a bulldog, Vic will solve his first assignment...sort of. Turns out it wasn't really his to begin with, but the big-time detective he stole it from takes notice and offers to enlist him in the future. Vic may not crack every case, but he refuses to go down without a fight!
Yes, it was intended to be a sitcom, but it was horrible. Michael Richards played some detective. It just wasn't funny - at all. Trust me. I don't think there were many episodes.

Come on man, I don�t mix up a newspaper clip with a Seinfeld episode. I know the Merv Griffin episode inside out!
K: This stuff should be in The Smithsonian! J: Or at least in the dumpster behind The Smithsonian.

Okay, so can you explain the idea of the show and specifically the two lines you quoted and how they relate to Jerry and real life?

The Smithsonian asked Jerry if they could have the TV set (http://www.geocities.com/tnguym/tour.html) when they heard he was ending the show. They have the sets of other discontinued popular shows and have stored them for display at a future time. Jerry refused and when he was on The Tonight Show he told Leno he did not want to see his set treated like at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Many of those final year shows were "inward looking" with "in jokes" like this - about the show itself
e. g.
Can you name (??) the show? Any others?

The Burning.
Also The Burning.
Don�t know that one.
I would appreciate if you could elaborate some on these!
There are quite a few shows from the early years that I have never seen, only now catching up on.
Some of those "internal showbiz jokes" and references probably misses many of us Europeans altogether. We do get a lot of American shows and movies, but obviously not all.

Okay - here goes...
Jerry was leaving TV on a "high note". Voluntarily ending his show when it was at the peak of popularity was unheard of. Most shows reach their peak then fall from grace are are cancelled after the producers milk all the money out if it they can.
Michael Richards knew he could be nobody but Kramer after "Seinfeld". His portrayal of Kramer was so identified to him it would be difficult to be believed to be anyone else. So the portrayal of the diseases in The Burning mentions the fact that he was being type cast.
Many TV shows are put into favourable time slots to gain viewers who just leave the TV on the same channel. NBC put a lot of shows in after "Seinfeld" to gain viewers. In The Butter Shave Jerry accuses Bania of being a "time slot" success because he followed Jerry on stage.
Kramer: Did you see Bania's set last night? 'Cause I read on the Internet he killed. Jerry: He killed. He only does well when he has me for a lead-in. He's a time slot hit.
They only did this during the end of the last year when they knew the show was ending.
In the early years they did a lot of Movie parodies - you can see the ones we identified on my "Movies" page.

But didn't Seinfeld gain it's momentum when got Cheers' timeslot?
