Farewell Clipshow! This was one of my favorite episodes as I am a sucker for your film parodies. As 'It's a Wonderful Life' is tied as my all time favorite movie, I was able to get the references and have a little chuckle. Great acting and editing, too. My only qualm would have to be my slight discomfort at the beginning when Charlie and Jim were playing with the gun as it closely mirrored how my brother died. The Clip Show will surely be missed by this viewer, who enjoyed it not only for it's humor and wit, but also as a way to keep somewhat connected with Colorado Springs ('I know that street! Oh, look, downtown!', etc). However, I know that only bigger and better things await both of you on the horizon.

Thus passes into the annals of history the great video podcast review podcast of them all.

I can only hope that future generations will come to understand the misundstood and misunder-watched and misunder-funded genius of this sleeping giant from the world of new media.

Maybe the internet doesn't get thrown away without the clip show, but it certainly would have been a lonelier world for the makers of video podcasts. This show, an instrumental part of the early community of podcasters, brought a critical eye to something that went previously unstudied. The academic aspect of the show, certainly can't be touted as it's main thrust, but one can imagine that the clip show may go down in history as having done for podcasts what Andre Bazin and Andrew Sarris did for film.

The passing of the clip show brings tears to both of its loyal viewers, myself and Jim's mom. However, the media has evolved so much since the inception of the reviews that it's possible to imagine the clip show as a delightful placental lubricant in the birth canal of the internet's video baby.

Long live the once and future kings of post-post-post-modernity, Jim and Charlie.

I don't want to say goodbye
That was one of the funniest episodes yet.

By far the funniest I've seen Charlie, and Jim, well, Jim's just riding Charlies coattails anyways.

<3 The Clip Show, You guys both kick ass!
