I just tried watching episode 2 of MSG’s Summer of 86 and I’m sorry, it’s terrible. I couldn’t wait to finish it. I think what set me over the edge was the picture of Keith Hernandez in a 1987 jersey. That and the use of the same 4 still photos over and over. Jesse raised his hands over his head, got it.
So, I’m all fired up and decided to release the unfinished 1986 episode of How I Met The Mets. I have been planning to make this one better which is why I never released it…but even at this stage it’s better than MSG’s effort. Give me 10 minutes with Darryl and Carter, and an ad-buy from CarSponsor and we can rock this out…..and I’m not looking to be a TV producer, just a TV watcher.
So…here’s the unfinished in-progress teaser for How I Met The Mets: 1986
There. In 54 seconds that was more entertaining than the first two episodes of Summer of 86.
Aficionados of HIMTM will note that this has the “old” credits (no Bobby V mustache shot) and I haven’t used any video yet (because I couldn’t figure it out).
If you’re a newbie to the series, here are what I think are the best episodes. I’ll remind you I am a fat guy with an iphone and no budget nor access. If you’ve seen these already, move along.
