If you've seen us on TV and never heard us on the radio, welcome!
If you're a longtime listener, and you're wondering if we're ruining a perfectly good radio program by venturing into television, we urge you to take a look around. We've pulled together trailers, episode details, outtakes, and other material—including a much fuller description of what we're trying to do on TV and how we've gone about making the jump.
DVDs of the first season are now on sale at Amazon and elsewhere on the web. You can also download the entire first season from the iTunes Store. Our Emmy-winning Season Two should be available in late 2008 or early 2009.
More than anything, we've tried to make a television show that would look and feel like the radio show. We're excited about the results and hope you'll feel the same way.
