A Return To Basic Cable Programming

No discussion on the myriad of quality programs on basic cable would be complete without a nod to the lord of the lobsters, none other than Mr. Pontifex VonHummer.


Where does one begin to describe VonHummer and his show "The VonHummer Hour"?? Do you begin with his crown of lobsters or abstract painted suit? His long, hippie hair or the spectacles with the scary absent eyes painted on? What about his musical exploits - singing such clever songs as "Blame It On The Aliens" or "My Happy Pills Aren't Working Today"? Perhaps I should start with the skits that are all subtitled because they are speaking in another language (which we strongly suspect is made up) and which make very little sense?


No. I don't think any description on my part could do the man or his show justice! You can never fully grasp the VonHummer Hour unless you have seen it first hand. Never fear. He has a website: http://www.vonhummer.com/ as well as a myspace page and a facebook page in the works. You can download mp3 versions of his music AND check his schedule for the live concert tour happening around the Northwest...now wouldn't that be a treat?!?
