April Fools!

Who doesn't want a little snow to start off April? The three foot blizzard we had today merely capped off a fantastical week here at GCTV.

On Monday morning, John Lester joined "The Dukes of Sports" for a spirited conversation about beating the Yankees (much to the chagrin of our New Media Producer who is a die-hard New York fan). Shortly after the Dukes and their crew left the building, the U. S. Secret Service came by to check us out because Mayor Martin's two shoots this week involved very special guests---President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton. Make sure to check our Video on Demand Player next week for those informative episodes.

Tuesday was a little quieter. Our big shoot for the day was supposed to be the Charter Review Commission Meeting in the evening but that was put on hold when Godzilla stomped down the middle of Main Street. You should see the footage we got as we ran screaming the other way. Now that we've had a few days to recover our wits, that video will air on Cable Channel 15 sometime today.

At the town council meeting on Wednesday night our public servants decided to make pizza the official food of Greenfield, its official color plaid, and they decreed that Snoop Dogg will now sing the national anthem prior every GHS baseball game.

"Local Bias" recorded a new show on Thursday morning in order to highlight changes in Greenfield's biggest yearly event. On the show, Becky George announced to Dr. Andrew Blais that this year's Green River Comedy Festival will be headlined by Bill Cosby and Jello Biafra. In addition, this year's hot air balloons will actually be filled with helium. The gas will do double duty as the instigator for a chipmunk voice contest in which the winner will receive a voiceover part in the upcoming movie "Chipmunks 3: Crunch & Munk" (the heartwarming story of Dave Seville's attempt to have a peaceful midnight snack).

Currently, we're digging out from under all this snow and planning for next week when we've been asked to film a coming out reception for the martians who've been living undercover in Greenfield for the past three years. That's all for this week folks!

April Fools!

As promised, here’s a special video from us to you:

But wait, there’s more! Tune in to Cable Channel 15 at 2PM & 6PM today for special April Fool’s Day programming.
When our New Media Producer was a teenager, she and her friends produced several programs for themselves and their local community access station. In honor of April Fool’s Day she dragged the footage out of the deep, dark, hole it had been buried in and, after much wrangling, has supplied us with two shows that are sure to leave you scratching your head. This afternoon you can watch the first three episodes of “Dragontales”, a not so sweet story about a man and the pet dragon that is thrust upon him after the death of his parents. (Did we mention that said dragon is a spoiled little brat?) Later on catch “Tales from the Cracked”, a sketch comedy show including anything the group thought was funny at the time of filming.

Enjoy! Oh, and don’t worry, everything goes back to normal tomorrow.
