They obviously wrote separately, but when they came together in band form, they really added so much to each others work.... and they had each others back for the most part...I agree that that kind of partnership seems the most flexible...<BR/>I read this HUGE=(size) book I was given on Monty Python. It was a great read, as it was about their start, and entire history. They were each given a chance to share their views on things as the book moves through the steps of their group and individual careers.

I've heard that Paramount's Stage 19, where the show was filmed, was haunted. Did you ever hear anyone on the show talking about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-901868463775994812008-08-02T15:39:00.000-07:002008-08-02T15:39:00.000-07:00Hi Ken,Any thoughts on the challenges of transitio...Hi Ken,<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts on the challenges of transitioning from stand-up comedy to writing for television?

Many sitcoms used to end their tags with a freeze frame over which the beginning of the end credits was superimposed. Did the director instruct the actors to "ham it up" or something else significant so that an interesting pose or facial expression could be used in the freeze frame?DwWashburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057278992504418291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-27984777060168743192008-08-01T11:12:00.000-07:002008-08-01T11:12:00.000-07:00This question is definitely not of major importanc...This question is definitely not of major importance, it is just something I've been curious about for awhile. In both comedies and dramas why are married couples most often shown sleeping in full-sized beds rather than queen or king? I think I understand why not king (the bed would take up too much room on the set). I do remember the days when a married couple couldn't be shown in a bed together at all but it has been a long time since two twin-sized beds was the norm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-15469896481121372212008-08-01T10:17:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:17:00.000-07:00Is there a character you've written for who's comi...Is there a character you've written for who's comic voice most perfectly aligns with your own?Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964417852912045049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-27040970605165141742008-08-01T08:06:00.000-07:002008-08-01T08:06:00.000-07:00Do you think cartoons are dangerous?Do you think cartoons are dangerous?growingupartistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399714569663568902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-78984079829285159752008-08-01T05:35:00.000-07:002008-08-01T05:35:00.000-07:00Thx, Ken.

I work with giving legal advice to low-income entrepreneurs, many of whom want to form partnerships with a significant other or college roommate or best friend. Within 6 months, everything falls apart, often because the parties had completely different expectations about labor or percentages. It's kind of sad, but I just assume that when a potential p-ship walks through the door it's the beginning of the end.dgmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784048338004578599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1044965678072185472008-07-31T22:47:00.000-07:002008-07-31T22:47:00.000-07:00So I assume your next post is going to be telling ...So I assume your next post is going to be telling us the story of when David went to prison and...<BR/><BR/>P.S.
