bombs, viewer call-ins... and showtunes! Tune in to Channel 29,
Thurs. at 10pm and find out what all the hub bub is... BUB!

goes a little too far and explores the very loose connections

wrong with TV! You'll wish it would end like the Sopranos... but

Do you have a DVR?
Talk to the Hand is now one click away for easy recording so you
can use your remaining brain cell for important stuff like walking,
talking, and watching TV. Currently, Comcast Cable 29 SF lists most
shows with a generic "To Be Announced" header. That includes
'The Hand'. Please manually set your DVR to record our show using
our current posted date and time. Some day, we hope to have our
name in lights. But for now, please pretend it is 1979 and you are
programming the old VCR. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
