there must be some kind of “al waxman memorial fund” for homeless kittens or something, then you could work the humanitarian angle as well. the press would love it. and in the last episode, you could be really touched by the moral resonance of the show and give it all up to run a fruit stand.

think about it. not just the show, but i mean actually buying a fruit stand. could be your calling.

The premise is the misadventures of a wacky group of independent theatre artists trying to – wait for it – put on a play about Al Waxman and the TV series “The King of Kensington”.

The pilot involves Mike, that’s you Mike, and Simon (The Nice) Rice discussing the relative merits of casting a woman in the Al Waxman role when the clumsy but well-meaning set designer accidentally burns down the widely beloved and historic Ossingting Street Theatre. Much hilarity ensues.

The opening theme is sung to the tune of Led Zeppelin’s Ramble On.

It’s a ratings juggernaut.
