I did the Talk to Dennis Haskins thing :) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

And its well worth it.
Some facts:

The message seems to be prerecorded, but not a prechosen recording. Well, I did the personal one for 30 bucks (girlfriend's birthday), which gives you 325 characters. Thats alot...its a couple sentences. He included everything I asked for, and more. In other words, he sounded very sincere, very cordial, very 'for the fans.' And it went to her voicemail so we're able to save it and use a mic to record it to our computer so she can save it for herself as long as she'd like.

Oh, and the pay is via Paypal, which feels a bit more secure. And Ill say this, the site needs to look better so it doesn't look so much like a gimmick. But its well worth it. I ordered this afternoon, it came a few hours later.

So, there ya go

All in all, a well spent 30 bucks to hear her call me excitedly and say "Howd you do that !?".

Do it for someone you love

That's great!... Did you ask him anything about the show?

I'm not sure what you mean. Like I said, it seems like he (and others) may record their message with the intent of leaving it as a voicemail, so as to not be stuck in an endless conversation with some stranger. However, the message IS based onw hat you ask them to say, plus he added ALOT to it, and it sounded very sincere and cordial. So, I guess you could say its not a live conversation, but rather a live messaging service. Still well worth it, if not for the experience but for her reaction

I would of assumed it would be one on one, since it says "LIVE."
