Episode I0: Lost in Translation: Britcom to American Sitcom
Television producers are always looking for the next big thing and ideas can be scarce, so, why don't borrow other show's ideas? This episode gives some examples of British situation comedies that were adapted for American audiences. While there have been great successes, such as "The Office," "All in the Family," and "Three's Company," there have been some pretty appalling failures as well.
This week's show looks at shows that may have had a pilot (or two) produced, but no American series ever made it on the schedule.

Episode 2: Carry On...Up the Podcast! The Carry On Film Series
This week's episode is about the British Comedy Film Series Carry On... I've done a few new things since the last podcast including buying a mic that I think sounds a little better to mixing some music and clips into this podcast. I still have a lot to learn about mixing, but I'm sure it will get better as I go along.
