Live Video Chat with Bryan Cranston Wednesday!

With major thanks to Richiepiep we have setup a live video chat with Bryan Cranston to celebrate the 10th Anniversary!

Wednesday 3rd February at 3pm PST / 6pm EST / 11pm GMT (UTC)
Live on BlogTV.com

The format will be similar to the video chat he did last year for Breaking Bad – Bryan reading the chatroom and picking questions, however I’ll be “hosting” the chat, so if you can’t make the live time and would like a question answered reply, and I’ll try and get Bryan to answer it. You don’t need a BlogTV.com account to join the chatroom and ask questions (but get an account if you want a chance to be on video)

Watch it live below, but go here to join the chat! Hope to see you all there!

To quote the late great Steve Marriott: "Whatcha gonna do about it?" I guess we need some time to think things over. I won't be replying until I know something specific about what we can do.

Wow, great work. Thanks for that.

I am going to send him some fanmail one of these days.

Thanks! Unfortunatly, I will be busy at the time, but might make it in time for the end of the chat dependinghow long it is. But, in case I don't my question is: Would you like to see a MITM DVD/Blu-ray release or a Itunes/ other digital download release?

deweyinthemiddle

I'll do my best to be there, thanks for this effort guys. I am inviting some people I know from a Breaking Bad forum if you do not mind, I bet I'll be the only one from that site there anyways

Lparsons7981

Great to see it worked out! I'll be on - of course!

Rich

Richiepiep

I won't be there for the chat but I hope you guys have a great time! It's really wonderful of Bryan to do this for us all.

Thanks to Rich and TJ for making it happen.

Ryebeach

Wow, I hope I'm going to have time for this.

Bryan just informed his mail contacts directly on Tuesday evening that the chat is on! By directly, I mean it wasn't his personal assistant Michelle who mailed or forwarded it. GREAT!

Awesome, I love how he re-wrote my post (side note, I have no idea why I'm not on his mailing list, I guess I'll have to sort that out)

I plan a pre-show so arrive early!

thanks alot! btw how long was this going on from the pre-show until about 8:45 when all the members had stopped chatting even though you had already left? 3 hours including early pre-show? more?

Thanks again, so much! We need more of these in the future!

deweyinthemiddle

Thanks very much to Bryan for spending so much time on the Chat!

And big thanks to TJ and all the rest for making it happen.

I am new to this site but not to MITM - long time fan.

Thanks for everyone who worked to get the chat organized and running smoothly, and to everyone with their great questions, and to Bryan and Michelle for doing it! Excellent job has to be mentioned about T.Js hosting.

Awesome event, and even the chatting after Bryan left was quite fun! that happens when you have a great community like this one.

Very exciting that Bryan said he'd be willing to do a Breaking Bad chat or something for that fan site! Know I just need to get in contact with the Admin over there, he is so inactive I am tempted to start up my own site....

Lparsons7981

Yes, the chat went great, far better than I'd expected, more than 90 mins! And it would have been even longer hadn't been for technical issues! It was great to have TJ hosting. Though I've been on this site for a while (though not as long as some senior members), I'd never seen him or even heard his voice. Very pleasing!

I was a bit apprehensive that it would get messy. Actually, not too many people joining in the chat and good moderation keep it from getting all mixed up and fragmented. In that sense, I didn't mind we didn't have 100 people on!

To be honest, I'd never done a live chat before, so would have been at a loss where to go and how to handle it technically, so great that it went so well in the end. I got the hang of it I reckon.

A night to remember (with no Titanic overtones, thank God)!

Beaming Rich!

P.S. Stupid though that I at least didn't try to record the audio, which is fairly easy to do, if you don't suffer breakdowns, which often happen during long streaming sessions - my browser crashed after an hour or so, and I had to restart it.

I've been picking up radio shows and such from the sound card though, and later edited them.

I'm just a newbie to this, so next time I reckon. I hope most of the chat video can be retrieved and pieced together somehow. I was so busy reading and posting questions, that I didn't register everything Bryan said.

Richiepiep

It went so well, amazing. PeterU has supplied me with 35mins video recording, and I'm trying to recover my recordings, and possibly Tyno recorded something?

tjpeople

I would have recorded the whole thing, but I changed audio source by switching to headphones at the end of those 35 mins, which broke the audio capture. I stopped the recording, but didn't think to restart it, as I assumed other people would be capturing it instead. Of course, that turns out to be a bad decision due to the technical problems, so apologies for not getting more.

PeterU

I see a partial recording posted. I see that Bryan tells it like it is. I agree completely about The Middle being a bad copy.

Gee, I didn't know a 10-minute segment had been put up!

I hope people will come up with some more clips - if there are!

Last week we had a live video chat with Bryan Cranston, which went amazingly well, many thanks to Bryan for giving us the chance (and 90 minutes of his time) and to all those who joined and asked questions.

I decided to act as host picking questions from the chat, which I think went well, even if I was somewhat nervous (over talking much?) We had a few technical issues and experienced a large delay, which lead to me and Bryan talking over each other at times. Sadly my recording setup didn't go as planned so I'm afraid to say I don't have a recording of the whole chat. However many thanks to PeterU who recorded the first 35 minutes (it ends abruptly)

[See Front Page Post for Video]

If you where there, please write up any of the Q&As you recall that didn't get recorded. I plan to do more chats soon (and won't let the recordings fail)

Can I suggest a star for a future live chat? How about David Higgins who played Craig Feldspar?

He had to have been the true star of MITM, yet he must also be one of the most under-rated actors ever. I've hardly seen anything about him.

Craig Feldspar was my favourite character on the show. His lust for Lois was a great plot throughout the series.

He genuinely seems like a freat guy too. I loved him in those video outtakes of the Dewey's Special Class episode which somebody kindly uploaded. He's just as funny in real life and I bet he would be an excellent person to interview.

Cool that we have managed to salvage 30 mins of the chat with Bryan! Next time I should at least have some audio recording running, because I don't remember a lot of his exact replies.

Great that he mentioned 'Mad Men' as convincing him that AMC was into making quality TV. I had missed that comment, and Mad Men is a series I avidly follow too.
