Some really weird news...

In upcoming episode with feature appearances by Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, and Tom Cruise.

3. "Lovely Rita" by The Beatles
4. "A Mind With a Heart of It's Own" by Tom Petty

Yesterday, I finally read the first two episodes of season three, and then I began writing one.

What's Next:

-A Gay Love Interest for Jordan Jones?
-Casey's Atheist family having dinner with Kay strong Pentacostal Family?
-Renegage Iraqi Student who befriends Reicther?
-A religion craze that could has some bad results for Casey?
-Casey loses The Group has his friends?
-A suicidal who could be the love of Chris's life?
-Stacy graduating, but not without leaving her mark?
-Joel and Cathy double dating with another member of "The Group"?
-A film crew that comes and decides to make Brian's life more dramatic for documentary?
-One of the group members comitting suicide?
-The origin of Brock's anger and problems?

Also, Story Editor Melinda Waterman claims she wants to do an Musical Episode. She has begun to write it. I'm not sure if I'll use it.

Alan Holman is currently putting the finishing touches on his two episodes. Both are suppose to be whacky but great.

Edward is got about 3 more episodes up.

Max Majernik is working on one called "Shades of Grey"

And I am trying to tone down our Religion episode so it won't offend EVERYBODY. But it will probably still make some angry. There's lots of talk about Jews, Jesus' life, and the big point is that The Guys have an argument about who really killed Jesus.

Did you ever get my review of epsiode 1? I sent it to your pm a few weeks ago or so at least

I just wrote an episode.  I'll send it to Bruce later today, after I put some finishing touches on it.  It's called "Putting out Fires", and it combines three different episode ideas into one awesome script with the theme of fire.

Hey, I've been reading The Lunchroom since it first came out and I love this series, I think it really should be made into a real show, but anyways my favorite season would have to be season 1 & 2, season 3 i don't think it's as funny as season 1 and 2 but it's not a bad season my favorite episode for season 3 would have to be "god hates actors", "special needs" and "Master Debaters" my least so far would be "The Camping trip", on to the characters my favorites are Will and Reicther and Mr. Parker. I think Chris and Brock, and Sometmes Joel are underused especialy Chris and Brock, just wish they had a standout episode or two. anyways continue on with the good work on The Luncroom.


Oh yeah, how many more seasons  do you plan to do The lunchroom ?

Well this is how the rest of this season is hopefully going to look like:

 29.   3- 6      By All Means (Focus: Mostly Will)
 30.   3- 7      The Passion of the Atheist (Focus: Will & Casey)
 31.   3- 8      Home Is Where The War Is (Focus: Reicther)
 32.   3- 9      We Didn't Start the Fire (Focus: The Whole Ensemble)
 33.   3-10     With Friends Like These... (Focus: Casey & Joel)
 34.   3-11     Shades of Gray (Focus: Chris)
 35.   3-12     Heart's Place (Focus: Joel)
 36.   3-13     Slow Fuse (Focus: Joel & Chris)
 37.   3-14     Reality Bites (Focus: Brian)
 38.   3-15     All My Life (1) (Focus: Whole Ensemble)
 39.   3-16     Suicide Watch (2) (Focus: Brian)
 40.   3-17     The Most Important Moment (Focus: Whole Ensemble)
 41.   3-18     Comfortably Numb (Focus: Whole Ensemble)
 42.   3-19     Breast Easily (Focus: Stacy)
 43.   3-20     The Legend of Brock Warner (Focus: Brock)
 44.   3-21     Pentecostal Dinner Party (Focus: Casey)
 45.   3-22     Good Riddance (Focus: Whole Ensemble)

We want to get back to the how the show use to be and are trying to fix new episodes to be like them.

Right now, it looks like Season 3 MIGHT be the last Season, but you never know. There has been some talk about a Season 4.

I was going to send the first of my two episodes for Season 3 to Bruce today, but then I decided not to.  I'll send both at the same time; that way, I can re-edit the first one while I'm finishing the second one.  I think I'll rename the first one "We Didn't Start The Fire", instead of the title I prefer, which is "Putting out Fires."

I don't know what will be deleted in Bruce's editing of my episodes, and because it's his show, I don't mind liberal deletions and replacements and edits, et cetera, but as its rough draaft currently goes, this is what happens in the first of two episodes...

I'm deviating from the original summaries, so here's a bit about what happens...

-A rumor goes around town that Will's parents died.
-Casey and Joel want to hold elections for "leader" of their gang.
-Stacy gets injured.
-and much, much more!
