brootsie_and_rainesy: No, we haven't read it, novella.

missparker84: Patrick, what do u think about Andrea? (parker)

dr_sydney: Andrea Parker is in reality a very kind and considerate person whom I admire...both as a person and as an actress...I'm always amazed at how effectively she portrays a character so contrary to her own persona.

william_raines: for RICHARD: in the next season, will your character eliminate Mr Broots?

brootsie_and_rainesy: RICHARD: No way will Raines kill off his dear Brootsie...he's in love with him! JON: Raines is in the wrong ballpark.

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: I'll never tell. RICHARD: Gries tortures me every day on the set. Prank-wise, he tortures me.

delilah_tina: Any of you willing to share a prank anecdote or two?

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: It would be too involved an answer. Buy the tell-all novel, coming soon to a bookstore near you.

liberty_belle98: Mel Gibson's famous for his pranks ... anyone on the tP set up to his standard?

__TeeJay__: Or George Clooney, he's good with pranks, too

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: George who? He's not allowed to be talked about here.

delilah_tina: for JON, PATRICK AND RICHARD: Are there times when you disagree with the script in respect to what a character would and would not do? - (from Wendy)

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON and RICHARD: Occasionally in little places.

brootsie_and_rainesy: DEB: Please don't send private messages...

dr_sydney: leaves

brootsie_and_rainesy: DEB: Patrick's screen is frozen. The PMs messed up his computer...stand by.

brootsie_and_rainesy: DEB: Patrick can't chat any more. His computer got messed up by all the PMs. So he's done.

mr_wiggles_snowman_2: Q How exactly did Raines lose his medical licence??

brootsie_and_rainesy: RICHARD: Regarding how Raines lost his license...go to his office and you'll find out.

novella_jones: I thought people weren't supposed to PM..

brootsie_and_rainesy: They weren't (says Deb)

brootsie_and_rainesy: DEB: We have time for just a couple more questions for Jon and Richard.

his_dog_fido: Jon: GREAT wardrobe on the show! From your own closet?

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: The wardrobe people go to great lengths to make me look incredible. RICHARD: Jon is actually a fashion monger. JON: Anything will look fashionable next to Richard's dungaree overalls and hobnailed boots.

mr_wiggles_snowman_2: Richard - My brother would like to know how it felt to play and evil wheezing cyborg in a computer game?

brootsie_and_rainesy: RICHARD: Thank God for cue cards (regarding the computer game).

delilah_tina: for JON GRIES: The producers were gracious enough to chat with us just about a week ago. One of them made some "joking" inferences about your character perhaps NOT being meek and mild-mannered. What is your take on that?

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: Any twist is a good twist.

movieimp_2000: I really like the Centre Recycle Shirt -- wish Fox would do merchandizing

__TeeJay__: Does anyone remember in what ep Jon actually wears the recycle t-shirt?

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: I've worn the Centre Recycles shirt in many episodes.

dwchong: Does this mean you think Broots is getting stale?

brootsie_and_rainesy: JON: No I don't think he's getting stale, but it's always fun to have other avenues.

delilah_tina: for JON, PATRICK and RICHARD: How would you like the series to end, is there anything that you would especially like to see happen? - (from icyandrea)

brootsie_and_rainesy: KABOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

brootsie_and_rainesy: OK, we need to get going. Thanks for coming and goodbye all! (Theme Music here) Don't forget to watch tonight's ep, School Daze. Thanks again!

brootsie_and_rainesy: leaves
