Me: “Hey, I saw that show on the plane last week! That was fun to work on. Whatever happened to that one?”
Myself: “Well, the production company gathered together a highly skilled and really funny crew and then their client, the world’s largest children’s network, asked that crew to fix up the scripts and customize some funny poses before sending it overseas, just like their other show that makes billions of dollars. Everyone was happy with the work, then the production company execs had to spend some grant money, altered production methods which affected the final product midstream without telling their client, the client found out and fired the production company after completing the first and only season. Once this had all come to light 3/4 into the run, you had left to freelance for Sony with the blessings of the directors on this fiasco. Thanks to their perseverance, the show’s been successfully re-running everywhere ever since. Sometimes I hear the production company wishes they still had that show, as it’s become a posthumous syndication cash cow.”
Me: “Oh. Yeah. Right. Well at least the kids liked it…”
