And we close out the four-episodes series of "The Greatest Event in TV History" that Adam Scott did for the AdultSwim channel. Whether he'll be doing a second season, we'll find out. Here is both the full "making-of" fake documentary and finished product, this time recreating the opening credits of the sitcom Too Close for Comfort. It stars Jon Glaser, Catherine O'Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Chelsea Peretti, and Scott. First, we'll have the recreated credits, for those only interested in such things. And this is the full faux-"Making of" documentary, that concludes with the opening credits film. Well, okay, I have another of those homage remakes of old TV series opening credits that Adam Scott has done. (He did four in all, so there's one more to go.) But I was able to find out more about them. These were done for the AdultSwim channel, under the title of "The Greatest Event in TV History" -- and so were clearly made as a way to draw people's attention to the channel to see the oddities, and then hopefully stick around once there. But also, it turns out that these "credit" sequences were only part of the point -- and just the end part. Because each of the videos are actually 15-minute "behind-the-scenes" Making of... comedy films. Though those are all scripted or at least structured and ad-libbed. Ending with the final product, the opening sequence homage. So, here is the new video recreating the opening sequence of "Hart to Hart," which he stars with Amy Poehler. But if you want to see the full effort, I'll post that right after. And here is the full "Making of..." comedy video. Yesterday, I posted a video that Adam Scott made with Jon Hamm that recreated the opening credits for the old series Simon and Simon. This turns out to be something that Adam Scott seems to do on occasion. Here's another one he made with another actor with as dry and goofy a sense of humor as he has -- Paul Rudd. This is them recreating the opening to the old series, Bosom Buddies. Yesterday, I posted the 'Not My Job" segment with Adam Scott as part of the NPR quip show, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! During the interview, host Peter Sagal asked him about the weird video that Scott made with Jon Hamm that recreated the opening of the old TV series Simon & Simon. I had no idea what they were referring to, but it sounded weird and very funny, so I checked it out. And it was indeed weird and very funny. Here it is -- |
