Very excited to note that Trivia was just recommended in the New York Times. Fingers crossed this will lead to RTÉ going back in time and uncancelling it. Link here.

Hey, look who I bumped into. It’s only David Pearse and Janet Moran out of Trivia. Well, I didn’t so much ‘bump into them’ as go see them starring as Molly and Leopold Bloom in the Abbey’s production of Ulysses. They were magnificent, as usual. Sigh.

Oh boy. OH BOY. Frinkiac.com is a database of three million screencaps from The Simpsons. Type a quote, or part of one, and get a pic of the relevant moment. Godly.

Trivia is available on Netflix Ireland and UK, I’m informed. Maybe it always was, I dunno.  

I just found out that Trivia is now available on Hulu in the U.S. I have no idea how long it’s been on there and might never have found out if it hadn’t been for a kind comment from fellow blogger Anghee. This is exciting! I’m all excited over here!

Jerry Seinfeld has a web show called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee in which he and some other comedians get into cars and go for coffee (it’s a pretty good title, now that I think about it). He has people like Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman and, most recently, Louis CK on. It’s endlessly fascinating and frequently hilarious, but surprisingly few people seem to know about it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Go here, and get yourself happy.

RTE have decided that there will be no third series of Trivia. I’m extremely disappointed, not least because the story hasn’t finished. We needed a third series to tie things up.

Trivia series 2 ended last night. Some of the cast and crew watched it in a public house. Hugs were hugged and drinks were drinked. Hope we get to do it all again (the series, not the going to the pub, although that would be nice too). Thanks for watching.

Trivia has a Facebook page! I mean, it’s always had one but I thought it was time I started banging on about it. If our time together at the beach house meant anything to you, please go there now and Like, nay Love it.
