CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

The difference was that the studio sound wasn't played over the top, usually when they cut to the studio u get the screaming kids, but this week they didn't play out the sound until Michael said "here's what coming up..." etc.

I'm just starting to watch Saturday's MoM as I was on my way to a wedding and at a wedding during the show so missed it all.
and even though some hated it on SM:tv, I'm glad that Stephen's finally doing some magic on the show. From the start he seems to be enjoying himself and doing whatever he want's like the W with his fingers for Wizard.
I like how the camera panned and one of girls allowed was standing and then quickly ducked as he was supposed to make them appear, though i didn't get the point at Ray song! Or was that just me?

Im liking what their doing with the MoM logo when they say "here's whats coming up this morning " Michael "pulled" the logo down and holly screamed in the backround.

How many shows did they stand in the center of the studio and shout "good morning"

I managed to find the scene MoM cut out on Saturday of Sabrina on a website. incase anyone's interested. The cut scene is in blue text.

Sabrina- Well not knowingly, but, you know, you’re really getting carried... No!

She quickly takes the scolding hot coffee pot from Roxie that she was just about to pour over herself.

Sabrina- (Cont.) What are you doing?

Roxie- See? I knew you’d never ever let anything bad happen to me.

She walks off as Sabrina puts the coffee pot back on the table.

Sabrina- Okay. You know what? This is getting a little out o’ hand. We’ve gotta get you home before anything else...

Roxie- (Interrupting) Catch me, Sabrina!

Sabrina turns to see her friend standing on the sill of an open window with a twenty-story drop behind her.

Sabrina- (Horrified) Roxie?!

Roxie lets go of the frame and smiling, drops backwards out of sight. It’s time for some magic and with a point at her feet, Sabrina’s off like Speedy Gonzales.

Int. Fifteenth floor. Sabrina skids to a stop just in time to see Roxie plummet passed the window.

Sabrina- Oh dang!

She’s off again.

Int. Tenth floor. She pulls up again and again Roxie just ahead of her.

Sabrina- Oh, come on!

She turns and becomes just a blur once more.

Int. Fifth floor. This is rapidly becoming a habit and it could prove a fatal one for Roxie.

Sabrina- Urgh! So close!

She sets off again.

Ext. The pavement outside the office block. Sabrina sets the revolving door spinning as she comes through and catches Roxie in her arms.

Roxie- I knew I could trust you.

Sabrina- (Putting her down) Oh, A friends undying devotion and I didn’t even break a nail... and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

There’s the screech of breaks and honking of horns.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Roxie! Get out of the street!

She runs after her friend.
Int. Spellman kitchen. Sabrina finally gets Roxie home in one piece... just.

Roxie- That bus came so close to hitting my head, it was almost spiritual.

Just the one, the first one.
The titles ran, then they came down that little lift thing (looks like it was nicked from an old person's home!), they then one by one said good morning (stephen, holly then michael) with the 'na,na,na, na, na, na hoooo!' (and a dance move) in between each until Michael's when it then went to 'Dog's are Barking, neighbours howling, we can't hear a thing, it's the ministry, the ministry, the ministry mayhem' (as the word 'of' wasn't that noticible back then).

One thing I noticed- Spelling Smackdown was there, then it went, ten it came back, now it's gone again! Have they aggreed that it wasn't very good?

It's all very mysterious!
I can see what they were trying in the way of a Challenge Ant style format, but the use of spelling didn't really work that well!

Perhaps what they could try is a game show/team quiz element for the show, like the old Fully Booked 'End of the Show, Show'.
So one of the presenters would be quizmaster with the other two being team captains, that may work well.

In a way it's a shame that they don't have any viewer games, i didn't think that 'watt hertz' was a bad game actually. Though they could do with a fun perhaps sketchy based game looking at simple components.
Look at SM:tv with Wonkey Donkey, very simple, All Hands On Dec, guess the number of hands on dec, incredibly simple, Splatoon, move he gun and fire, simple again (plus with characters for little mini sketches)! If they could do something like that then they'll get people talking and playing it at home!

Surprised no one had mentionned this but there was no preenters on todays CiTV, just voiceovers on the main idents.

First time in ages, maybe they couldn't get there because of the weather, lol.

Well, i am really disappointed in MOM that they cut the end scene from Sabrina, the teenage witch. I hope thery aren't turning into SMTV and ending up cutting everything. I mean THE STORY MAKES MORE SENSE WITH THE END SCENE!!!
Sorry, had to say it.

Anyway, quite a good show today. I love the doctor, he is so funny but where are the twins? I hope they haven't axed them, and they have some very nice new graphics for getting in touch (e-mail, address etc) where they appear on the blue robit thingy, nice.

Overall, 7/10

LoveTV

They also had a new gunge tank!. The last one was red and the new one is yellow. I hope they didnt axe the twins, they're probably on holiday I gather.

I liked the opening with Holly, Stephen and Michael looking down in to the camera singing and the camera spinning around, dont tell me Holly got the dance wrong after the menu again? Michael started to laugh and said something about embarrising.

Didnt the final series of Sabrina have the closing theme after the second part?

The reason I know why they cut the end scene out is because I looked on the Sabrina Scripts website. Heres what was cut (end scene):

Int. Sabrina’s bedroom. Salem sits on the lounger and watches as Sabrina placed a gold pocket watch onto a towel on the floor.

Salem- Are you sure you don’t want to, at least, take a peek at Aaron’s watch?

Sabrina- Nope. I want to find out what makes him tick the old fashioned way.

She folds the towel over the watch and the whacks it with a hammer. There’s the satisfying tinkle of Swiss engineering becoming scrap.

Sabrina- (Cont.) You know, you could have told me that your little white rabbit friend was the white rabbit?

Salem- I thought you’d met him at my cousin Sheryl’s bah mitzvah.

Sabrina- Oh. He looks different sober. You know, that was a very nice thing you did for me.

Salem- I just didn’t want to see you making a big mistake... and it might be nice to see you in love again.

Sabrina- You’re turning into a real softy.

Salem- Promise not to tell anyone?

Sabrina- Promise.

Salem- We’re not gonna hug... are we?

Sabrina- No, you’re safe.

Salem- ...’Cause I wouldn’t mind.

Run credits.

The Chums DVD was out today, and I've already got my copy!

As expected a straight re-release of the Original Chums video with nothing changed or added. No Extra features which I would have liked, but nice to have the DVD quality
