I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Brown...

William Conway: "Astute readers of this blog will no doubt know of my affection for Good Eats. Long story short, it's the best program on television since the A-team.

So you can imagine my surprise when I received an e-mail from a friend of mine asking if I'd like to be an extra on an upcoming episode.

Alton and the crew seem to write the details of the show as they go along. He had a script, but once he got a look at the 9 or so extras the scene just sort of unfolded from there."

How much fun! We certainly consume Good Eats from the DVR quickly. I finallly caught Shell Game IV and there certainly were a motley crew of extras in a scene.
