BORIS. We don’t know a lot about the enigmatic Russian space computer who runs the technical workings of the station at TVTV, but here’s a bit of insight into his character. It hasn’t been mentioned on the show, but BORIS is actually B.O.R.I.S., an acronym for Big Old Russian Information System. In “On The Line Romance,” BORIS finds true love thanks to the wonders of the internet.
Puppet mistress Amber Glych Greenlee is profiled in the latest episode of Transylvania Television’s BACKSTAGE PASS. Amber explains what it’s like being the only female puppeteer (at the moment!) on the show, and what goes on in Esmerelda’s mind. This is the first of the behind-the-scenes videos shot and edited by Todd Wardrope, a friend of the series and an experienced filmmaker in his own right.

Writer-Director Michael Heagle reports supernatural happenings in his work area tonight! “I’m working on the next-to-final draft of the fabled TVTV Real Meanin’ of Halloween Special, and suddenly a spider floats down onto the keyboard. I take him out (he spelled 401, by the way). I look up and there’s no less than seven more on the ceiling. As I suck them up into the vacuum cleaner, I get a bloody nose. No shit.” Sleep tight, Michael!
There was some interest expressed in getting a better look at the new character on TVTV, the Queen Empress of Funk, Kim Ho Tep. Well here’s one of the only images in existence, a tasty two shot with her Halloween Special co-star The Vampire Le Shoc. It makes a smashing desktop background, by the way.
