The Downer Channel
This week, one of NBC's many disasters from 2001. Michael Halperin, Robert Morton, and Steve Martin behind the scenes. Wanda Sykes, Mary-Lynn Rajskub, Lance Krall, and Jeff B. Davis on screen. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.

I do not remember this show at all, but I recognized Jeff Davis's name - he was one of the recurring improvers on the American Whose Line Is It Anyway. I never had any idea what else he had done other than Whose Line, actually. Sounds like this show never found any footing - after watching, it kinda reminded me of Mr Mike's Mondo Video, only ... without the comedy. Any chance you might be able to do a show on Roald Dahl's Way Out series from 1961? I think most of the surviving episodes are on YouTube. I would love to hear your take on the show. Thanks.
The British know how to make dark humor like this work. American writers have never really figured it out, sadly.
