THE BATTERY'S DOWN Series Finale Blog

[elphiegreen]

he is so cute! im sad its not on anymore

[falconbeach1]

I'm going to miss getting to see alumni from the college I want to go to singing their hearts out and in turn making me work harder. I'm going to miss introducing my friends to the fact there are others just like us on the planet. I'm going to miss wondering how you get all these people on your show. But i'll still be able to sing "This Is Your Life" at school, on the freeway, in my room, and every store that has customers that aren't aware of the only show that has viewers on all 9 continents.

[nerdygirlsinging]

I'm going to miss listening to the amazing original music this show has and listening to the great vocalists who sing them.

[chelsealuvsmusic]

I'm going to miss:

1. The amazing talents on this show...especially Nina and Andrew!

2. I'm going to miss saying, "how the hell did they get (insert celebrity name here) to do this show?"

3. I'm going to miss understanding the irony of most of the show, being in musical theatre myself.

[moreau17]

I'm going to miss watching the adventures unfold... i felt like in the short amount of time TBD ran, i got to know you guys. I feel like you're my friends... my dreams of making it on broadway one day are in full gear. I struggled with it for a long time, afraid i could never be good enough. But the powerful messages in TBD really spoke to me... I'm so glad i stumbled upon TBD. It's been truly inspiring, & i'm going to miss it more than words can say :)

[jessepp]

boo hoo hoo - the great depression. it's over! thanks for paving roads, inspiring creativity, and keeping it cute...and honest. right on. totes.

[calialoha25]

1. I'm going to miss the new campy songs to sing out loud while in line at starbucks. 2. I'm going to miss using the phrase, "What would Jake Do?" to random friends' questions.

3. I'm going to miss labeling friends, like, "You're such a Cortney, with that extension" or, "That outfit is as rich as meggings on Andrew" when the person I'm talking to has no clue who Cortney or Andrew are.

4. Two Words: Rich & Pussy

5. Most of all, I'm going to miss Jake being Jake.

[Mikeysmonkay]

I'm am so sad. I'd like to know what's next for ya'll? Where's everyone heading?

[dandrake31]

I'm going to miss the the growing friendship with the TBD cast as each episode passes.

[And007]

I'm going to miss seeing AKB from TBD!

[hotcha913]

i'm up (i had to pee) where's my TBD finale....gimmie gimmie....that....thing called ...lurve?

[broadwaygeek96]

Me too! I woke up at around 3:30 and the first thing I did was check the website

[hilld7291]

i'm going to miss hearing fresh and original music theatre songs, the campiness, and being able to see my favorite broadway stores in such a fun and different contest. i also loved knowing that tbd was created, performed, and edited by (very talented) regular people, and not a big production company. best of luck to the cast and crew of tbd in your future endeavors!

[hilld7291]

i meant *broadway stars... oops!

[AmeliaPaigeee]

I'm going to miss the cleverness of every episode. Everytime I watch I get something new out of it. I am also going to miss Jake's fierce riffs.

[wickedbway]

I'm going to miss not only witnessing, but feeling like a part of a new form of theatre that can and should be continued by our generation.

[irishmania]

I'm going to miss singing The Battery's Down theme every time any electronic device of any kind loses power!

[KittenEars12]

I'm going to miss the sly references to musicals and the constant ambiguity as to whether Jake and Andrew are gay or not.

[agentnuzzy]

I'm going to miss getting friends hooked on the series one by one and eventually organizing nights to watch each new premiered episodes with that group.

However, I'm totes pumped because my birthday is December 1st, and I couldn't think of a better virtual-present =]

[Phentleman]

I'm going to miss all the fierce belting, along with the great new musical joy that comes with each episode.

[broadwayryann]

I'm going to miss trying to figure out what to do with my night until it was late enough to go to each ep's launch party while avoiding going home and going to bed early. :) I love each and every one of you. I'm so glad I was able to be a part of this fantastic moment in time & special group of friends. MUAH!

[sogreekchiclucky13]

I'm going to miss making friends with people based on the fact that they, too, can sing songs from The Battery's Down. :( haha

[lagunagirl531]

I'm going to miss guessing who the guest stars could be every month!

[Espen414]

Andrew is TOO CUTE !!

[ThatsSoKirby]

omg I hope Jennifer wins Top Chef too!!! She rocks!!!

[djmarkcotter]

soo cute

[tellmewhatsahappenin]

:( i loved the battery's down.

[kaitlinmay27]

I'm going to miss staying up till midnight on youtube to see if the new episode's up. I'm going to miss racing to school the morning after each episode premieres to sing the new songs and repeat the hilarious lines.

[viewofsaturday]

i'm going to miss the camp. i'm going to miss seeing matthew morrison before Glee just being hilarious in a bookstore. i'm going to miss subway dances, fucked-up clowns, and asian CPR classes... i'm going to miss everybody and everything about it!

[fossegirl5678]

I'm going to miss the original songs, the ridiculous characters, campy dream sequences, and the outtakes alone were amazing! Thanks you guys for providing such a great, entertaining series which I will look back on with great affection!!!

[EricMilleganNAF]

I'm going to miss eagerly awaiting new episodes!!! And now when I listen and sing along to the amazing songs, I'm going to want to cry!!! I love and will miss The Battery's Down!!!

[alfieism]

that shirt is OUT OF CONTROL.

[blackpython]

1. I'm going to miss carrying around my The Battery's Down tote bag. I'll probably still use it, but now it will be a tribute to pleasant web series memories, rather than a constant self reminder to check out the latest episode of TBD.

2. I'll miss new material every month from some of my favorite performers.

3. I'll miss talking to my friends about the new episode on the second of every month!

4. I'll miss yelling "You are the apple of my EYE!" to my friend in class.

[VivyLeigh2011]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im so going to miss singing these songs at school where not one person has herd them (unless from me) ahhhhh. im will be crying.

[egmorox13]

u have this little 1/2 smile thing that you do, its cute, i do it too, actually its on the same side of the face...weird

[showfreak101]

Im going to miss Jake being confused for a gay guy

[zace333]

I'll miss molly black

[GreenMusicGirl10]

what will I miss about TBD?!

Everything. ='( I'll miss singing along to the songs in gym class with the two other people in my school who love the show as much as I do<3 <3

[broadwaystar2011]

I will really miss going to my youtube and seeing if any of my subscribers posted anything... then I would see The Battery's Down posted something!!! I would sit at the computer staring at the fabulousness that is The Battery's Down!!! While waiting for that faboulous moment, I would go to UrInTown(where I discovered TBD) and I would watch old UofM videos and like the old dance workshop vids (Money and Ease on Down the Road)., or Sister Act II in 15 minutes!! (Amazing my the way!!!)

[broadwaystar2011]

I also would watch old Andrews Blogs... Man... I'm going to miss it!!! My first love to webisode... nothing can match the amazingness that is TBD!!!

[ztslovebird]

I'm going to miss watching an amazing show about a guy and his friends who are trying to make their dreams come true. I forget what the original intent of the show was, but you guys give the "13 year old girls and gay guys" hope for a better future; TBD Jake may not get his leading role in an original Broadway show (fingers crossed for him), but if Real Jake can make his own show from nothing but a camera and the support of his friends, maybe we're all gonna be ok.

[gabster18ghlp]

I'm going to miss the first time I ever heard "This Is Your Life." After that, I wanted pursue my theatre career even more! TBD has definitely inspired me, in more ways than one.

Also, I'm going to miss all the campy lyrics, and familiar melodies thrown into each episode. Definitely had a bunch of laughs that I'll never forget! Thanks TBD! You will be missed. =[

[c1h2r7i9s1]

I'm gonna miss all the riffing!

[dancingwithliz101]

im going to miss everything about the batteries down

[corey081590]

I'm going to miss singing the songs & people not knowing understanding but mostly I'm going to miss the people who actually do know and sing along with me!

[LittleCloggingGirl]

I am going to miss seeing the NYC bystanders' expressions in the backgrounds of the dances.

[JennFan24]

I'm going to miss this so much! What I'll miss most is the encouragement that this has brought me. Eventually, I'd like to be on Broadway, and this has taught me that when things don't go your way, never give up on doing what you love. I've been so inspired by this show that I honestly can't thank all of you enough. Thank you so much for the smiles, laughs, and inspiration this has brought me; you've truly produced something amazing. xoxo

[ColleenTheresa]

I'm going to miss texting my friends on the 1st or the 15th of every month with "the bronx is up!" - our signal to know that we have to get together that day to watch TBD.

[myfrocker]

I'm going to miss making these videos with you! It was so awesome to be able to be an extra in some of the episodes.

[robsturtz]

Boo Hoo... say it isn't so. We miss it already... best of luck cast and crew of THE BATTERY'S DOWN!

[imafallingleaf]

I'm going to miss the people that I look up to. Who have inspired me to fulfill my dreams! The Battery's Down is funny, entertaining, and exciting and could not have been accomplished if it weren't for the amazingly talented people who are apart of the show. I love you guys, and thank you.

[minayah7]

TBD was the best show ever! I'm honestly going to miss coming on youtube and looking in my subscriptions box and seeing you there! It was most deff a show i looked fowerd to watching every month! I'm going to miss all the little jokes about shows that my friends never get! hahah But most of all im going to miss the music from the show! going around my house belting "Natural" and "This is Your life" was loads of fun and i still will and i well NEVER forget TBD ;-) ima miss it! <3 Nayah <3

[leadingladee90]

im going to miss having something to help me procrastinate, having a song to sing in every situation (i.e. getting high or going to LA or being on a cruise), im going to miss the songs, im going to miss seeing the regulars who arent exposed on broadway being able to share their talents with the world.

[jasonabroussard]

It really stinks that its ending after only two seasons. Im'a miss the plot overall! Everything just always manages to change and keep the viewers wanting more!

[iwannabapirate]

NOOO.

I LOVE YOU.

DON'T LEAVE MEEE :(

[egmorox13]

anytimed my life sucked i'd be like "this is my liiiiiiiiife one bbig cliche peegy saywer comes to town, gonna make her waaaaay, but even so that hoe ya know she had her day i hate my life" and then i would giggle and feel better

im gonna miss singing the songs and people just looking @ me like wtf?

[verser91]

do you use scripts/cue cards to make your videos run smoothly??

[Erink7631]

Im going to miss witnessing Danis evolution of how she does her eye make up.

[MusicFrogg26]

I'm going to miss having songs to sing and get stuck in my friends' heads!!

[WeirdFro]

what am i NOT gonna miss? I'll miss waiting every month to see the new episode and, on the 2nd of every month, talking about the episode with my friends. i'll miss singing the songs and introducing my theatre friends to it. i'll miss seeing my favorite stars having cameos. for a long time, it's been my dream to be walking in nyc and see you guys filming and just be able to watch how it's all made, but i guess that will never happen now. this will always be the best web series! dvd soon? :)

[KarlSolenoidIV]

I'm going to miss the anticipation of having a new episode. I could always count on the Battery's Down to brighten my day/week/month.

[alexeidarling]

Things I am going to miss about TBD: getting exposed to amazing new composers, belting the songs out in the shower, the guest stars, the hilarious campy outtakes, and the references to shows. This show was always the perfect way to start my month. Can't wait for the finale...that list of guest stars looks awesome!

[broadwaybaby915]

Though it's going to suck that it's over, the finale seems sick!

[unmaskedmagican]

I'm going to miss the fun and excitement of watching a new episode and listening to the new songs over and over to learn the lyrics, and staying up late to watch the new episodes.

[amberlyxx]

i am going to miss having some connection to new york and the arts in such a casual and fun way

I am going to miss the inspiration and the fun of seeing a new episode

I am going to miss the amazing broadway people and the amazing songs

oh dont go tbd

x

[PaulLeary]

Good job by having Andrew deliver this video... it helped the medicine go down...This is my liiiiife...

Isn't there any producer in New York or anywhere that would save this show?

[jpereztheargus]

RIP battery's down. I'll miss the camp!

[theBestArts]

I'm going to miss the wild costumes, the great songs (and singing) - and most of all, the big outdoor dance numbers.

[ashiamalashia]

I'm going to miss EVERYTHING about The Batteries Down. It was a show that never failed to put a smile on my face and make me feel happy when I was feeling down.

[rozanund133]

i'm gonna miss waiting for new episodes!

[cooleo505]

bye batteries down!

[ANighte]

I'm gonna miss staying up all night with my sister for each episode and dropping random lines in public to make her smile. Fond Farewells.

[j3ss1grl]

I'm gonna miss everything, everyone... and um... pussy.

[hklovesbwy]

I'll definitely miss staying up until 12 and sometimes a little past 12, just to watch and listen to Jake's fierce voice. I love battery's down<3

[geekgirl06]

I'm gonna miss staying up until till the wee hours early each first of the month waiting for the new TBD episode.

[ThexLastxCall]

I'll miss seeing the inspiration to do what your heart tells you to do, but I'll take the message of "The Battery's Down" and apply it to my life. I can do whatever I want as an actor/singer, and TBD has helped millions of people like me realize this!

[shelbylenayoung]

I will miss The Battery's Down because it helped me realize that it's possible to live out your dreams even if they seem a little crazy.

Thanks for giving me the confidence to go after my dreams of being an actress. I love you guys and will miss you so much. Thanks for creating my favorite show on Youtube, much love Shelby Young <3

[EJmusicman]

I'm gonna miss being the only straight guy watching TBD. Hopefully, one day I can use it as a pickup line! Also, because of TBD, I had a GREAT conversation starter when I met Courtney Wolfson. As some random girl put it, "meeting you is like meeting one of the Jonas Brothers!" I'm gonna miss TBD. Mazel Tov on your successfully long run!

[broadwaybound36]

I love the batterys down becuase it grounds me and reminds me im not the only one out there struggling!

I will miss TBD so much. so fierce, so campy.

[YeroIsAHero]

I was so upset when I heard it was ending! My favorite song is Rollercoaster Highway, I belt it in my car like everyday! HA HA! I did have one question, do you know if they are putting the music from the second/final :( season on Itunes?

[SoMuchbetter2492]

so sad I've been a fan since the beginning. You guys are amazing. <333

I'm gonna miss all the musical puns.

[bristadawn23]

I'm gonna miss Nina's fierce Betsey skirt/I <3 NY Tee combo. Seriously, it's the best thing I've ever seen.

[crazyking1325]

Im gonna miss the anthems for gay boys...does someone get a spin-off? :D

[domsbabygrl]

I need to go back and rewatch all of these, I feel. I've such a horrible fangirl sometimes. So proud of all your guys' hard work, AKB! :)

[iwannabapirate]

THIS MADE ME CRY!

[HilarySwankfan24]

SO SAD that TBD is coming to an end. Each and every cast member is amazing and I love that the theatre community was represented on YouTube. Such an incredible series that will be missed by so many. Love you guys! <3 <3

[bellaluce]

I'm gonna miss the CAMP.

also the fierce belting.

[hprocks2009]

I'm going to miss all of the wonderful campiness that this show brought to me. :)

[allybee10]

OMG!!!! I'm sooo sad! I'm totes going to miss this! You guys are amazing!

[jackskellingtonsora]

Yay! An anthem to gay boys everywhere! :D I'm so freaking excited for this final episode, sounds like you have some awesome guest stars. I'm totally so gonna miss Jake's hottness! Hahaha.

[TheOffcialACCFans]

I miss all the songs I could sing in the shower D:

[bmc102392]

hahahaha love it. i'm gonna miss the obscure musical theatre references and spotting people i know in the ensemble.
