Tales of Interest sounds like some early television news anthology program hosted by a deep voiced narrator intoning "You are listening to Tales of Interest brought to you by Marlboro Cigarettes, the cigarette that makes you of interest". Either that or a BBC program eventually rebroadcast on PBS in the States. Or A show hosted by Sheldon where he tells you tales he finds of interest.

As for the formatting struggle I agree that it is quite frustrating to want to simply dress up a post but have to spend so much time going back and forth in order to get it right. I agree with Tim who said not caring helps.

Or maybe even a radio show like in the days of the Waltons, hosted by some guy with his hair slicked-back even though no one could see him.

> Mary Ellen: "Hurry John Boy! Tales of Interest is on!"
John Boy: "I'm coming Mary Ellen! I've just got to finish cutting this wood with Jim Bob!"
Elizabeth: "Why the hell does everyone around here have double names???"

John Boy: Why am I called John Boy when I am a sophisticated intellectual stuck living in this backwoods shack.

Mary Ellen : Shack? have you seen the size of this place ? If were so dirt poor why do we live in this huge house?

Ha! It was an awfully big house for such poor folks. And I always thought John Boy was a bit too big for his britches. Could you imagine a TBBT/Waltons crossover? One whiney complaint out of Sheldon and Grandma Walton would give him the what-for. (She had the personality of a bulldog and the face of a turtle.) Then Olivia would tell him to grow up and send him out to milk the chickens!

Sounds kinda like MeeMaw to me. Besides they owned a lumber mill! At that time and place, that was a big business.

So who do you think would win in a cage fight between Meemaw and Grandma Walton? My money's on Grandma Walton upside Meemaw's head with a rolling pin!

That's a good one!

Dr Sheldon Cooper (and maybe Dr Amy Farrah Fowler/Cooper)?) Present(s) Dr Sheldon Cooper's Night Gallery: In which a tray of silverware on a sofa IS a valid organizational thing! And other terrors...

And it shall be called: Tales of Insufficient Light.starring Dr. Sheldon Cooper as Doctor Sheldon Cooper scary stories at night give him the willies, so we won't go there. But first: Fun with Flags.

So what is the plot of this "Tales of Interest"? Or am I supposed to fill it in?

Well that would be the point now wouldn't it? Tell us a story that we would find interesting. Of course your entire personhood will be judged on just how interesting it is. So...no pressure.

Alright Tim, I have made the assumption that this show is supposed to be a spin-off in keeping with the theme of this thread. I had several ideas but could not pick my favorite, so we’ll treat this like a “choose your own adventure” and let you pick which one you like best.

Tales of Interest:

1.This version of the show takes us into the future lives of TBBT main characters and tells us one “tale interest” each week so that viewers can have a continued glimpse into their lives. The first week of the month centers on Sheldon & Amy, the second on Leonard & Penny, the third on Howard & Bernie, the fourth on Raj, and in months with a fifth episode Mr. Tim Dash Buktu tells us a tale of interest from his own life. Expect him to have fudge smeared everywhere.

2.This version of the show tells us one tale of interest each week to explain the unsolved mysteries of TBBT. “Unaired footage” of TBBT will be shown such as Sheldon’s doctor visits, CT scans and health scare following prolonged exposure to luminous fish, the scene where Penny realizes she was a fool to stop making Penny Blossoms thus explaining her continued heavy drinking, and the scene where Dr. Gablehauser falls through a trap door to the Land of the Lost.

3.In this version of the show, many of the “appropriate for children” portions of TBBT are cartoon-ized with the characters as crayon drawings and the “tales” narrated by Levar Burton. It airs on PBS and has a lot of violin music in the background.

4.This version of the show is hosted by Swedish financial expert Jergen Bergenflergenshergen. Through a mix of financial advising and storytelling, he will share tales with viewers on the best way to accrue interest. How is this “Tales of Interest” a spin-off? He was in the Nobel Prize ceremony scene, 7th row, 3rd seat. Duh.

5.And finally this one has an extended title, “Tales of Interest…not that anyone cares”. Sarah the goth girl takes us through her days, touring local tattoo parlors, advising us on the best orifices to pierce and not to pierce, and sharing the best brands of shoe polish to use as hair dye.

> And now if you’re going to flip the game on me, I’ll do the same to you. Plot, please, for the following new spin-off, **Life Inside the Hologram.**

Food inside the hologram

You know there Lemons I used to make many a hologram when I was a kid. All you need is mirrors, angles, light, lasers if available and super powers. 👻

You know, Z, as much fun as we've had cutting up on this board as adults, think of all the fun we could have had goofing around as kids. You could have taught me how to make holograms and I could have taught you how to convince your sibling that you were from a planet made of nothing but band-aids.

I was a little naughty.

Well then that's the theme song for Life Inside the Hologram! And the show consists of a dream Penny has the night after Leonard tells her the hologram theory in the lab. In her dream two extremely cool message board posters return to their childhoods, make fake holograms and pester their siblings. Penny then wakes up, says "what the hell?" and writes it off to eating too many cheesy puffs the night before. The show is cancelled after one episode.

Z, I think it might be time for you to start a new thread.

Okay as soon as I come up with an idea for one. Stay tuned. Ooh and that cheesy puffs line reminded me of the time Penny had one stuck in her hair while she was playing Age of Conan. She still ate the cheesy puff.
How about a thread like : Have you ever ate a cheesy puff that was stuck in your hair?

That's where I got the idea from. I love that episode. And I love your threads. Post anything you want and you know I'll answer.

Well Lemons it likes it is down to two of us here. Don't want to make you a sad Lemon but I might just leave off here as well. The boards had so much to say about everything show and sometimes non-show related that there is little left to say. Also summer was also downtime for many. I will try one last thread. It has been swell knowing you here. I also have to confess that I was not really making holograms all over the place although one or two did work. I will give it a little more time however before I sail away. Maybe you should try to get Mr. Lemons and the Lemon family to come on and discuss things or at least have an old style Lemon Family Variety show featuring the Dancing Holograms and Cheesy Poofs.
