 | Season 1 / Episode 6: - The Wrap Party Cal Shanley: Suzanne, tell your guys to put tarps over everything. The last time we had a wrap party in the studio we had to shut down for two weeks while we replaced the studio. Jordan McDeere: Cal! Cal Shanley: Jordan. Jordan McDeere: Great show! Cal Shanley: Thanks Jordan McDeere: You're great! Cal Shanley: Thank you again. Jordan McDeere: I've had a couple of glasses of wine. Cal Shanley: No one would ever know Jordan McDeere: I just bought my first show. Cal Shanley: We heard, congratulations! Jordan McDeere: It's a one hour drama about the United Nations. Cal Shanley: It can't miss. Jordan McDeere: I'm celebrating! Cal Shanley: Well, enjoy the party. Jordan McDeere: I'm also hiding from Jack Rudolph. I didn't bid on a reality show he wanted, and then to add injury to... Cal Shanley: Insult to injury. Jordan McDeere: Insult to injury, Wilson White backed me and took Jack's legs out from under him, so I'm hiding here tonight. This is like for me Superman's Dome of Pleasure.

 | Season 1 / Episode 4: - The West Coast Delay Jordan McDeere: [after completing the first live feed to the west coast] Alright, that worked! That was a nice piece of broadcasting, that was great, that was smooth-sailing. Cal Shanley: Yeah. [yelling] We're going again! Jordan McDeere: Why? Cal Shanley: We attributed the material to the wrong guy, but the problem is this will throw our time off so we have to pace and fill as we go now. I'd get comfortable!

 | Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Wes Mendell: This show used to be cutting-edge political and social satire, but it's gotten lobotomized by a candy-assed broadcast network hell-bent on doing nothing that might challenge their audience. We were about to do a sketch you've seen already about five hundred times. Yeah, no one is going to confuse George Bush with George Plimpton. We get it. We're all being lobotomized by this country's most influential industry! It's just thrown in the towel on any endeavor to do anything that doesn't include the courting of twelve-year-old boys. Not even the smart twelve-year-olds - the stupid ones! The idiots - of which there are plenty, thanks in no small measure to this network! So why don't you just change the channel? Turn off the TV. Do it right now. Go ahead. Jerry: Get the camera off of him! Cal Shanley: And put it on what? Jerry: Cut the boom mike then! Cal Shanley: It's his show! I take my instructions from him! Wes Mendell: [Wes is still talking]... struggle between art and commerce. Well there's always been a struggle between art and commerce, and now I'm telling you, art is getting it's ass kicked, and it's making us mean, and it's making us bitchy. It's making us cheap punks - that's not who we are! People are having contests to see how much they can be like Donald Trump? Jerry: Are you bleeping this out? Tech: He hasn't said anything you're not allowed to say. Jerry: He's telling people to change the channel! Cal Shanley: I don't think you have to worry about anybody changing the channel right now. Jerry: Get him off or you don't have a job tomorrow! Cal Shanley: I'm running a live national broadcast right, can you threaten me later? |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Suzanne: We're blowing off 4-A. Lilly: You're kidding. Suzanne: No. Lilly: It killed at Dress. It was smart! Cal Shanley: It never had a chance. What are we filling with? Suzanne: 'Peripheral Vision Man.' Cal Shanley: Ricky and Ron are just going to keep writing that one until somebody laughs, huh? What was the time on 4-A? Lilly: 4:10. Cal Shanley: What's the time on 'Peripheral Vision Man'? Lilly: 3:45. Cal Shanley: All right, tell the writer's room they're going to have to strecth it another twenty-five seconds, and I'm sure that making it longer was the missing ingredient in making it funny. |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Cal Shanley: I faced off with Standards during a live broadcast, Harry. The guys I know who've done that feel lucky when they can get a job directing "Good Morning El Paso". |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Wes Mendell: [going onstage in the middle of a sketch] Listen, fellas, we're going to stop that. Tom Jeter: Did we lose the feed? Wes Mendell: No, we're live. I want both of you to clear the stage - I don't want anyone to think that you were a part of this. Wes Mendell: Clear the stage. Go on. Cal Shanley: [Audience still laughing] Wes Mendell: Uh, it's not going to be a very good show tonight. I think you should change the channel. Cal Shanley: [in the control booth] Lilly: What the hell? Wes Mendell: Change the channel. Right now. Control Room Assistant: When did they put this in? Lilly: Does anyone know what the hell is going on? Wes Mendell: Better yet, turn off the TV, okay? Cal Shanley: [Audience laughs] Wes Mendell: No, no, I know like it seems like this is supposed to be funny, but tomorrow, tomorrow you're going to find out that it wasn't, and by that time I'll have been fired. Wes Mendell: No, this - this is not supposed - this is not a sketch! Cal Shanley: [over the radio] Uh, this is real. |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Wes Mendell: We're eating worms for money. Who wants to screw my sister? Guys are getting killed in a war that's got theme music and a logo? That remote in your hands is a crack pipe. Oh, yeah, every once in a while we pretend to be appalled... Jerry: [in the booth] Jerry: Cal! Cal Shanley: I'm waiting for him to say something that isn't true. Jerry: Who else in here knows how to do this? Cal Shanley: Don't talk to my control room! Jerry: Get him off! Lilly: [aside] You have two kids in school. Cal Shanley: What? Jerry: She said you have two kids in private school whose father is about five seconds away from never working again. Wes Mendell: America's broadcasters have turned into pornographers. It's not even good pornography! It's just this side of snuff films. And friends, that's what's next. Lilly: Cal, come on... Wes Mendell: ...And the two things that make them scared gutless are the FCC and every psycho religious cult that gets positively horny at the mention of a boycot. These are the people they're afraid of... Cal Shanley: All right, stand by... Wes Mendell: - feckless, off-the-chocks greed-filled whorehouse... Jerry: There is is! Wes Mendell: - this thoroughly unpatriotic motherf... Cal Shanley: Cut in now! |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Harriet Hayes: What went on in the control room? Cal Shanley: [sighs] We got word the sketch was cut. Next thing I knew Wes was up on stage, Standards blew into the room, and I waited 53 seconds before I pulled the plug. Harriet Hayes: There had to be a lot of confusion - it's not like there are rules or procedures for this kind of thing. Cal Shanley: No, there are strict rules and procedures for this kind of thing, I just didn't follow any of them. |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Cal Shanley: I'm sorry about Matt. I'm a big fan of his, and I like him a lot. Harriet Hayes: I'm a big fan of his, and I hate his breathing guts. |
