Last night the cast of "Almost LIve!" reunited for a look back at the series as well as to perform a few new sketches.
I was almost going to skip the show, consumed at the time in an ABBA special being broadcast on the local PBS affiliate in high definition. Fortunately, an extended pledge break disrupted the moment, freeing me to change channels.
The thing that struck me most was thinking when did these people get so old? Supposedly the show only went off the air six years ago. What happened to the young, edgy comedians that I remember so fondly?
If the High Five'n White Guys were to get together again, I'm sure at least one of them would be shuffling along leaning on a cane. And instead of the signature hand slap, I'm sure one of them would miss and stumble to the ground breaking a hip.
At least the could continue the Innefectual Middle Management Suck Ups indefinitely. That routine never gets old and is as relevant today as when it was first performed.
