Fish Tank Co-Host Search
Following the pilot episode of the Fish Tank there has been a wide variety of thoughts concerning the show and its future. Although the online poll shows an overwhelming preference in favor of the Fish Tank, there have been anonymous calls with accusations of ballot stuffing, voter suppression, and voter registration from those who are deceased. In light of these allegations, the executives at Xtrera.com have decided to allow the Fish Tank to remain on air with probationary status. The Fish Tank must maintain at least a 51% approval rating to remain active. Also over the next few shows, the Fish Tank will hold tryouts to determine a permanent co-host. If you are interested in entering the contest, please submit a 200 word essay to Quiz Boy. The essay should discuss the characteristics that would make you a good co-host and why Bass would make a good President of the United States. Xtrera Movie Review
Over the last 4 days of March Madness, everyone lucky
enough to be unemployed and without responsibility has been glued to their
TV sets between approximately 12 noon to 11:30pm watching CBS and the NCAA
tournament. There has been enough drama to quench the thirst of any
thespian, with Davidian upsets such as Vermont over Syracuse, and
double-overtime thrillers such as the West Virginia-Wake Forrest bracket
buster. But the real drama was to be found after the 2nd round games were
completed and Spring Break Shark Attack invaded our television
sets, as CBS refused to grant us even a coup
Xtrera.com in the news... The cast of the Penalty Box was recently interviewed by the Hartford Courant newspaper and the article appeared in this past Sunday's edition of the publication. Please check out the link below.
The Return of the Penalty Box
After a three week hiatus, the Penalty Box returns with an hour long triple overtime, sudden death, shootout, comeback episode. During the show's time off air, a bitter contract disputes threatened to end the Penalty Box forever, but luckily an 11th hour collective bargaining agreement was reached as result of the flood of emails and calls from fans demanding more Catfish and Lobo. The show will broadcast soon so stay tuned for the best Penalty Box episode yet.
The Fish Tank Pilot Episode
The premiere episode of the Fish Tank is a variety show hosted by Stephen "Bass" Basserman and his sidekick Chris "Snapper" Wright. The pilot addressed a number of pressing issues including Art, Nasa, the Academy Awards, and Bass's recent surgery, but the show did not go as smoothly as you might have expected with a host with such class and professionalism. In order to maintain the integrity of this website, the Fish Tank will run on a show to show basis pending the response of our listening audience. Please download the pilot episode below and then vote in the online poll on whether the show should remain on air or should be canned.

le
of evening hours without heart-pounding programming. Before we at
Xtrera.com get into the review of this made-for-tv movie, we would first
like to commend CBS and its marketing team on a tremendous promotional
campaign that anyone can appreciate. When Ian Eagle, who was thrilled to
be commentating something other than the Pilot Penn Tennis Open, first
read the promo for Shark Attack as CBS played the footage of 50
killer sharks preying on drunk Spring Breakers, we were mildly amused.
But each subsequent time Verne Lundquist would cringe as he said something
along the lines of, "Spring Break Shark Attack, it's gonna bite
you!", or when Bill Raftery would feign excitement at the thought of
sitting safely on his couch watching the shark attack, we got
progressively more hooked. Eventually, it got to the point where we were
sitting in the Xtrera.com studio just wishing that the Duke-Mississippi
State game would end already so that we could get to the most highly
anticipated made-for-tv movie in years. So before we go any further, hats
off from Xtrera.com to the CBS marketing team and to Verne Lundquist and
his play-by-play contemporaries for doing such a marvelous job selling a
movie that was a difficult sell to say the least. Following a Georgia
Tech romp at the hands of Louisville in the Nashville arena, the
Xtrera.com staff regrouped, recapped the games, and got settled in for a
night of drama and suspense. When 8:00pm central time rolled around, the
anticipation was unbearable. Among other things, we couldn't wait to see
what ecological crisis could possibly explain 50 man-eating sharks to
converge onto a crowded beach. To our horror, Spring Break Shark
Attack was nowhere to be found. Cold Case was on in it's place.
Bedlam ensued! Verne had lied to us! We composed ourselves and
thought logically. Apparently the games had run a little late and all the
programs had been pushed back. Finally around 8:30pm, our movie was
on.......
