Not sure if this a series, a spin-off or saga. Nevertheless definitely a two-thumbs up! Yes, I do recall an earlier version of "Candy Babar". Can't get enough! And when we get right down to boardroom politics when the bar hits the fan and push comes to "shove off" as is often the way in the steely Madison Ad exec offices; we know who's going to "sink" who's ship and float on top! The characters are fleshed out nicely GREAT DIALOGUE!!Love the Over-the-top feel to this, reminds me of a Berowne!!!Definitely a best seller this year!chiccorealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834462795623856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-49433266901179408632011-01-03T18:18:31.527-05:002011-01-03T18:18:31.527-05:00lightverse: "Thanks for the cleverly done scr...lightverse: "Thanks for the cleverly done script!"<br />Thanks for the cleverly done comment. :-)Berownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524661173663604641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-50530262558485888572011-01-03T10:33:58.142-05:002011-01-03T10:33:58.142-05:00Oh wow!

The candy bar in the shape of a toilet bowl plunger is hilarious, doubly so when we remember that chocolate has laxative properties. I suspect there are "in jokes" in the names that are lost on UK English speakers. Very good.Doctor FTSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052101566471519778noreply@blogger.com
