I swear I heard myself laugh


Back in July, my sister got 4 tickets to see The King of Queens filmed out here at Sony Studios. Originally, her and her husband Mark and my parents were going to go. Mark has a crazy work schedule. And as luck would have it, he couldn't go, so guess who went instead? Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard! My sister loves the show, has a couple of seasons on dvd, and is basically a huge fan. I have watched the show, but never made time to sit down for it. Well, this show is hilarious. Kevin James is a comic genius. I have a new appreciation for sitcoms on tv. One the best part of seeing it filmed were all of the different scene takes they would do. On most of them, Kevin James would improvise and say something different each time. Seeing it filmed was fascinating. I've lived in LA all my life and have never done this. The set is incredible, just to be able to see the rooms up close was neat. I even got a script, and at the end of the show was able to have all of the cast members sign it. So, last night the show we saw filmed was on tv. I really did hear myself laugh. My niece is positive she heard my sister laugh, and my sister is positive she heard my dad laughing. The episode was entitled, "Brace Yourself, " and if you get the chance, watch it.

To have your own laugh on TV sounds so cool! Well that and actually seeing a show taped.

We LOVE the King of Queens. We don't usually watch it when it's on because of bedtime,etc. But it's the only show that we have on dvd. My husband will be so jealous of you!

How fun Jenny! I think it would be so neat to see a live show and all that goes on that we don't see in the final 20 some minutes that makes it to our TV! How neat to hear yourself!! Love that!!

How fun, Jenny!

My husband yelled once at an Andre Agassi tennis match just so he could hear himself on tv. So silly.

We've only watched that show a couple of times, but it's a good one...

I'm always a little jealous of all the fun things you Southern California girls get to do...
