Campus Ladies: Too funny for network

Posted on by


Campus Ladies follows Joan & Barri, two middle-aged best friends who decide it’s better to be a freshman at 40 than unhappy housewives forever. Ditching the suburban life of minivans and malls for keg stands and co-ed dorms, Joan and Barri enroll in school in search of the wild college years they missed the first time around.

Campus Ladies is based on characters created by comediennes Carrie Aizley (Joan) and Christen Sussin (Barri) while performing with the famous comedy troupe, The Groundlings. The series is executive produced by Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and co-executive producer E. Brian Dobbins (Reno 911). Among others.

Jon Stewart on the Internet

Why is Jon Stewart so much funnier than anything on “real television?” From Wired.com interview with Jon Stewart and Ben Karlin (The Daily Show’s executive producer):

It’s the idea that the content is no longer valued by where it stands, in what neighborhood it lives. What matters is what you put out there, not its location. I think that’s what people have come to learn from the Internet – it doesn’t matter where it comes from. If it’s good, it’s good.

The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. That’s all it is. All those media companies say, ‘We’re going to make a killing here.’ You won’t because it’s still only as good as the content.
