Take it from someone who watched a tad too much Mary Tyler Moore as a Child-this is the stuff from which good TV news sitcoms is made. It's also perfect for the Ipod-carrying,
MP3-blaring, sensory-overloaded, "we need entertainment and we need it NOW" generation.

It's called "Goodnight Burbank", a comedy series featuring the colorful personalities and behind the scenes banter that goes hand in hand with local TV news. (of course somewhat exaggerated for the sake of comedy) My favorite character is female news anchor Kelly Jones (Jones is pronounced HON-ACE for the appearance of diversity). She plays her guitar and sings inappropriate news-related ballads during the newscast between sound bites. She is also a hard-core Christian who is a blatant hypocrite. Very Funny.

What makes this TV news sitcom different is it's only available on the web. (at blip.tv)

For struggling Hollywood producers and directors, this avenue of getting your product seen and potentially your show sold...is catching on! Anyone can upload...not everyone can get a meeting with Chris Albrecht. (CEO HBO)

And...for all of you who are dying for a good blog, this website (blip.tv) provides an area for you to give feedback and ask questions.

As media outlets such as (FOX 11), continue to search for ways to cross promote TV with the internet, you never know, maybe someday one of these cyber sitcoms will end up on our air. Better yet, how about a new FOX reality show where FOX 11 video streams live from our newsroom....now that's entertainment.

On second thought....maybe not!~Amy Murphy

thanks for the info. i'm gonna check it out.

there's certainly enough comedy in OUR newsroom sometimes to keep a show like the one you describe on the air/web for ages. too bad we can't stream that. (or maybe not!)

in lieu of that, there are always the blogs...

welcome aboard!!! ; )

The music in my head plays like a newsreel after reading Amy Murphy's blog and watching the new Talbot's commercial.

When that Mary Tyler Moore jingle comes on, I can't help but think about you.....Thanks loads!

At least you're super attractive and I'm very visual.

Like now...Love is all around you don't need to waste it...

The first mention you made of Mary Tyler Moore made me think of her throwing her hat in the air at the end of the opening title. Yeah, that could be you.

So do you enjoy working in the chopper or do you prefer to have your feet on the ground?

Thanks for talking about my show! It's not just at Blip.TV - you can find the show at our main site, http://www.goodnightburbank.com. There you can read Gordon's fictional blog, go behind the scenes and even sign up to the mailing list to hear your name mentioned on air as one of our field reporters! I bet Fox doesn't do that :)
Cheers,
Hayden

Amy,
Yes, I play Gordon as well as write & produce the show. How did you discover GNB? Are other Fox anchors watching us too? One of the NBC weather people told me that the show was very close to the bone.

Big things are afoot with GNB but I can't talk about them until the ink is dry. Stay tuned to find out! :)

Goodnight!
