The LEGO(R) group has launched its own news program recently which seemed quite exciting at first. I was envisaging coverage of the latest Lego articles and news stories by Lego hosts, however the show turned out to be more of a farcical, humorous escapade than anything resembling real news.

This was a bit of a disappointment as I think that Lego hosted coverage of Lego events would be really cool, but this was not the case. Given that they have gone down the path of least resistance (comedy as opposed to real news) it would have at least been entertaining if they'd presented it in an offbeat, quirky way like some other shows I could mention, but again unfortunately it was dumbed down and aimed at the lowest common denominator.

In what is a bit of a strange coincidence, the show's host was called Dan Brickman, as opposed to Brickman Dan, who is the author of this blog, but this is not the first time Brickman Dan has been one step ahead of the LEGO group in their projects having released Indiana Jones, some Star Wars sets and an entire Lord of the Rings range before the LEGO group has. I will aim to publish an article on these serendipitous occurrences another time. In my own personal opinion I also think Brickman Dan is much better looking than Dan Brickman but I might be biased.

Click here to see the first ever episode of the show, but for now, you're probably best staying on Brick Yourself's website for all the latest actual Lego news.
