About "Suddenly Millennium"

This is the best I can do so far.  Looking for a fabled transcript of this bit; all spelling/grammar/other errors are from the original episode review.

Suddenly Millennium - A Suddenly Susan/Millennium crossover, in which Lance Hendrickson (Dave Herman) works at a magazine, and has been sent to kill the entire Must See TV lineup. As his coworkers (Bryan Callen, Mary Scheer, Phil Lamarr) plan a party for him, he kills each of them and keeps talking about his visions of death. A little strange, but I liked it. The premise was original, and the feel of both shows was replicated well. The coworkers performances (especially Mary and her annoying walk) are the highlight. Thumbs up for trying out something different.

It is MadTV Episode 212 if anyone knows a MadTV fanatic....

[Opening scene: main room at the magazine, based on "Suddenly Susan," Brooke

Shields' sitcom. She and her co-workers are depicted. The doors of an elevator

open and a man exits, walking past... ]

 LOUIS (pseudo Nestor Carbonell): "Hi Todd."

 

 VICKI (pseudo Brooke Shields): "Hi Todd."

 

 LOUIS: "So, Vicki, tell me, how was your big date last

 night?"

 

 VICKI (exhaustively perky): "I picked him up. He made

 me pay for dinner. Then he stole my car and left me in

 a ditch. It was the longest relationship I've had this

 year! Spank me!"

[laugh track]

 

[Elevator doors open again and Frank Black enters the news room, dressed in

a wedding tuxedo.]

 JACK (pseudo Judd Nelson): "Huh, Frank, uh, shouldn't

 you be at a wedding right now?"

[laugh track]

 FRANK (pseudo Lance Henriksen, in a gravelly monotone

 throughout): "As I was standing at the altar I saw

 the edge of the abyss. I saw children with their eyes

 stitched shut. Their features sanded off. Their screams

 masked by a veil of brutal indifference. I, uh, called

 off the wedding."

 VICKI: "Good for you! Now you'll have more time to

 tour with 'Up With People!'"

[laugh track]

 FRANK: "I want my job back, please."

No kidding!

It isn't available via the "usual suspects," that is -

No eDonkey

No Kazaa

No Google

I figure our best bet is to ask around our friends and maybe one of them taped it - but then again, I don't personally know *anyone* who watched MADtv enough to tape it.

:thinking_big:

Maybe Newsgroups?

I never bothered to look at the dates in this thread. I thought this was brand new and started in the past couple of days since I was last on!

I'd too love to see this. I was going to say I hadn't heard of Mad TV but I have seen it in the listings sometime ago. Or it could have been mentioned in some US TV news with their schedules.

How about this for an idea? Lance Henriksen on The Simpsons as Frank! I've been thinking - how would they do Frank's face? ......and him reacting with Homer? :rofl:
