RE: [TV orNotTV] Darrell Hammond's new memoir

[Brian Peek]

The friend of an ex-girlfriend of mine worked as a costumer on the show in the 
late 90's / early 00's.  We went down for a taping in early 2000 and got a tour 
of the studio.  I remember her telling us that Hammond was a cutter and a 
drinker.  It's interesting seeing all this come out 10+ years later, confirming 
everything she had told us about the guy, but I don't think anyone realized how 
deep it went.  I'm not sure it was a secret amongst the cast/crew that he 
believes it was.

Hammond was interviewed on Fresh Air a couple of days ago. His story
is one of the most difficult ones I've heard from a comic and it was
hard at times to listen to him describe his emotional life in the
past. I usually think that Terry Gross does the light stuff with show
biz people while Marc Maron goes for the darker side. Hammond's past
could be extreme material even for Maron and Gross did okay with it.

http://www.npr.org/2011/11/07/141990958/snls-darrell-hammond-reveals-cutting-abuse

I heard this too, and agree that Gross did a pretty good job with him. From 
what has been excerpted from his book, and this interview, it sounds to me like 
his drug problems are secondary to his mental health problems, which are pretty 
severe.

I have followed SNL moderately closely since it began - I am far from an 
expert, but probably follow it more closely than most of the general 
population. I had not heard that Hammond had these issues, and given his long 
tenure with the show I might have guessed that he was one of the more stable 
cast members over the years, instead of what, even for this show, must qualify 
as the least stable cast member (unless Andy Dick was ever on the show). I have 
long thought that Hammond was one of the least talented of the cast members who 
have been on the show more than 3 seasons, and this may now be explained by 
Lorne having a sense that the show was maybe the closest thing to a real home 
and family that he had.

RE: [TV orNotTV] DVR follies, part the next

[Brian Peek]

  At what point do you decide that the extra cost for a TiVo is worth
 no longer having to deal with Time Warner's various attempts to
 produce a properly-working DVR?

About 10 years ago.

 Interesting thought. Any TW cable customers out there who are using
 an
 actual TiVo? Is it a hassle?

I've had various TiVo models on Time Warner for the past 10 years.  I've had 
the displeasure of using their DVR several times during that period on other 
TVs in my house and have absolutely no understanding of why people subject 
themselves to that torture.  I get that it's cheaper, but the functionality is 
so limited, unstable, and difficult that, for me at least, the extra cost is 
well worth it.

I will admit that TW has made it more of a hassle to use a TiVo (and other 
non-cableco DVRs) by using Switched Digital Video (SDV) to tune various 
channels which requires a) their DVR/cablebox, or b) a (free) dongle available 
from the cableco that plugs into the TiVo.  In most peoples' experiences, 
including mine, that dongle can be pretty flakey and TW has little interest or 
incentive in making that a better experience.  It can be a pain at times, but 
still, even with the minor hassle, which only affects certain channels 
depending on what market you're in, a TiVo is far better than TW's DVR offering.
