Something's Fishy With This News Set

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Something's Fishy With This News Set

Post by Mr. Jones »

Am I the only one who thinks a fish tank built into a news set is kinda neat?

Will the fish boil under all those lights? Got tarter sauce?

It's like their news set has turned into an episode of MTV Cribs...where's the bowling alley and giant fridge with nothing in it?

-or-

If our news sucks, just look here at the fishies...

Someone needs to put one of those big carpeted cat trees in a news studio...let the kitties play and do that weird leg stretching, licking thing during the first at 5...

ok, I've said enough.

Is this the TV news version of "I have no idea what's going on, so here's a bunny with a pancake on his head?" :mrgreen:


I actually find this interesting.....

Just think if that thing broke on air. You'd have a whale of a time cleaning that one up.

Why'd they do it? Just for the halibut.

I bet you someone in upper management really carped about the expense that went into this renvovation!

Hmmm...it's in Florida. Wonder if they carry the Dolphins?

Or, given how much attention it has already drawn, maybe it'll help the station make a big ratings splash.

It makes for quite a distraction, I'm sure. Just like having your competitors proudly displayed on the monitors behind you. :wink:

I really like it. Kinda takes the cold, hard edge off the set.

I'd hate to be the one to maintain it, though...

My first thought.

The first home improvement I made in my house in KY was to remove the built in aquarium after I cleaned it once.

Good Riddance.

I'm guessing you had to clean it because it...get ready, now...smelt!
