Hey all! I’m a bit late with tonight’s feature — the show’s already started on the East Coast — but hopefully you folks out West will have time to check out the rules and drink along to “The Sarah Jane Adventures”, premiering tonight at 7:30 PM on Sci Fi. And this is also the debut of my friend Mickey of Strange Cousin Susan as a contributor to the site, so do welcome her! I’ve been eager to have her write for us for some time — and few people love Sarah Jane Smith (and her boots) more — so it was really fantastic to have her along for this piece. 🙂
Anyway, if you miss that initial airing — or, on the EC, want to check it out with the drinking game — it’ll be on again at 11:00 PM. After this week, TSJA will be airing at 8:00 PM on Fridays. So if you’re at all interested in “Doctor Who” (which, starting next week, will begin airing directly after TSJA) or Sarah Jane (or just want to watch solely for the excuse to drink along 😉 ), be sure to check that out! If you’re going to play our game, though, remember to drink responsibly and remain aware of your limits while doing so.
One more thing about the game — don’t be confused by the frequent mentions of Clyde in the rules, since he does not appear in the pilot episode airing tonight. Apparently test audiences found Kelsey to be as annoying as we did, so she was axed and replaced by the very likable Clyde. To make up for the sips missed in his absence, though, you’re welcome to take a sip every time you find Kelsey grating on your soul. If you choose to do so, please remember our warnings. Scary-Crayon and Strange Cousin Susan are not responsible for any embarrassment and/or injury that result from participating in this activity. 😛
ALSO! For Sarah Jane fans with access to the classic “Doctor Who” episodes, you might want to give The Sarah Jane Smith Drinking Game at The Sarah Jane Smith Wardrobe Appreciation Society a try. I haven’t played, so I can’t vouch for it — but considering how incompetent Sarah Jane could be in the older episodes (I still liked her, but give me Leela, Romana, or Ace any day), I suspect that you’d be sipping an awful lot.
Until next time, minna-san!
sadly, as someone without cable, i hadn’t heard of this show. but now i find myself unnaturally drawn to watching it and consuming alcohol.
i wonder if it’s a “torrent ready” program…
