Ironic, considering that "What a Fool Believes," perhaps the epitome of yacht rock, is all about NO love, NO hope, NO fear, and NO possibility.

Anyway, though. Yacht Rock despite a few dud moments and genuinely bewildering directions (how did they survive the Jethro Tull episode?) has made its mark; the term will serve (with or without a Wiki entry), and I'll be confusing people by quoting it for years to come.
Viva la portable radio.

I also never understood why they never brought Stevie Nicks into the mix.
Also, I'm working on a Yacht Rock story and I came across some interesting tangenital YR trivia: When Becker and Fagen were in a pre-Steely Dan band called the Leather Canary, their drummer was Chevy Chase.

Honestly, and I'm definitely to blame partially for this, I think the creators got a bit sick of the fans proposing so many ideas for future episodes. At that point, the show pretty much accomplished its goal.. when fans can write a screenplay for a future episode given his/her knowledge of the family of bands in question.
Also, it was a matter of time before some crazy fan would try to sue the creators for "ripping off" an idea, when there's only so many quasi-real-life scenarios you can concoct involving Michael McDonald anyway that it would be inevitable. (yeah, even if the show was non-profit, I wouldn't put it past somebody out there to try to sue, regardless, in such a scenario.)

Anyone check out the rest of Channel 101's shows? Is there an ILE thread about that? Obviously there's a pretty low S:D ratio, but I've had a lot of laughs from "McCourt's In Session," and this month's frontrunner, "Chad Vader" gets tremendous laughs out of a premise that sounds doomed when you try to explain it to somebody.
― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 16:05 (eighteen years ago) link
As for other Channel 101 stuff, Thriller Chiller Theater is pretty damn funny. (Noone else seemed to think so, though, as there is only one episode.)

I'm more saddened that Pablo Cruise never made an appearance. I guess no one knew what they look or act like. Myself included.

Jaxon when is the next Yacht Rocky night in SF? I need some advance notice so I can dress for success and also buy a Yacht.

they had an event at the knitting factory nyc tonight; maybe it premiered there? the event listing is pretty ambiguous as to whether there is actually an episode 11 though
― Nick Minichino, Friday, 28 December 2007 08:12 (sixteen years ago) link
They should make more. Seems like there's we're definitely an audience for this.

Nothing on the website yet. Anyone catch Ryznar and Hollywood Steve on VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 90s?

I was thinking about to go to NYC for that party tonight but, eh. I do hope they put up a new episode though.
