Awesome show!
This week it was the gay guy who always appears on Rove and an operatic singer (i am lost for names, missed for few minutes)
The great thing about this show, is that it can appeal to everyone, as discussed by Adam - the questions and humour have a wide and limitless audience)
What's your fav segment - i adore 'Substitute'

I like the one where they have to draw album covers or song titles etc.
I love this show, but the only bad thing is I can only ever answer 0-5 questions per show lol.....


Still a great show though.

i think thats what got me into the show, substitute, but al the other segments that have sorta like gags are cool too. Btu althogh i dont have the accumluated knowledge of years and years of music, its still great to watch and its humour.

the first substitute was form the book of cost accounting, which also further my liking...because i not only guessed the song, also i understood wha thtey were singing about lol

great show (as everyone has already stated). Fav part of the show would have to be substitute, the drawing one, the bicycle one and the one where the letters are mixed and form a band (bloody hard).

Great show, but why did it have to be on at the same time as Prison Break. I loved it last year when the line up was New Inventors>Spicks and Specks>Black Books>The Glass House. Now that is good television.

I was sooo upset about it! I just loved the xmas show that was hiliarious.

I am a 'Spicks and Specks' regular, and I watched last nights -- definitely the funniest one I've seen in ages! I laughed so hard at Jesse Griffin's country-singing alter ego Wilson Dixon, and his song 'Philosophy'...

"We owe this song to the Greeks. Three thousand years ago they invented thinking. They called it philosophy, which is thinking about thinking..." Hilarious!

and

"... a song that goes something like this. Actually, it goes exactly like this." Classic!

I <3 Jesse Griffin
