Fishing With John Intro

[@bobbyfree1982]

1991 wasn't ready for how incredible this show is.

I finally get how the meaning of life is 42. It's the 42 seconds it takes to watch this video.

[@DomSaget]

when i feel sad, when my woes become overwhelming, i just listen to that beautiful piece of music and say to myself that things will get better

[@murdockscott]

I used to be fascinated with this show, little did I know it would be the blueprint for countless other similar shows in the post broadcast/cable era. It really should be more appreciated.

Three words never made a better theme song.

[@moodyfeverdream]

this makes me laugh every time. watched the full season in a day and every time this song came up... tears, man, tears...

0:17 This young Japanese woman is Kazu Makino and, according to the end credits and the IMDb, she provided vocals to the soundtrack; she's likely seen also at 0:12. A couple of years later Kazu Makino founded noise rock band Blonde Redhead with Italian twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace. They still record and tour after more than thirty years. I once read a Facebook post by Kazu Makino saying that she met John Lurie in Japan. Judging from the tone of that post I had the feeling that they were in a relationship and he brought her to New York where she later met the Pace brothers. This TV series is produced by a Japanese broadcaster by the way.

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Ah, yes. Didn't notice the upload date on them at first. Glad someone did!

[@Dramacidal1]

weird thing,sometimes i feel this 42 secs is all i need in life

[@michaelsnow7252]

like the lyrics on this

[@OnTheRocks71]

It's like David Lynch made an outdoor sporting show.

[@diego91090]

Yes my sir.

[@tsartodd]

JIm Jarmusch, the next best thing to David Lynch.

[@jw89]

pure genius

[@burningburney94]

think i might just change my name to John so i can play this whenever i go fishing. or all the time for that matter....

[@xalstarx]

Looks like someone re-uploaded them just the other day. Thanks for the heads up!

[@doesthistastefunny]

One of the best shows ever.

[@dunha4805]

0:25 Thom Yorke?

[@xalstarx]

The expression on Dennis Hopper's face when he was saying that was priceless.

[@wdfmidevil]

Does anyone have the lyrics?

[@xalstarx]

Yeah, at one stage you could find all 6 episodes on here. I guess Criterion were losing DVD sales or something.

[@DarkeningSkies1]

They are still up: simply type "Fishing With John Episode..." and whichever episode number you want to see, and it will pop up. Also, try using the name of the guest (ex. Willem Dafoe), that seems to work as well.

[@MrEllis99]

best theme EVER.

[@brianwright5704]

you should try and see Lurie talking about the making of the show is pretty great.

[@xalstarx]

Only problem is that it seems they didn't upload the last two episodes with Dennis Hopper.

[@brianmoran4619]

Nice now to go get a gallon and go fishing with John.

[@packersinhd]

You got a screw loose Johnny!

[@wmwinterbottom]

The TV equivalent of a K hole

[@zensekai1234]

out on the water

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Now that does suck. They are my favorites.
