Birth of TV Comedy, Monday First Period

[chosehumanity]

"Hey, good morning," Mitchell said to the students as they piled in. "We've got a small group this time, but I like that. After all, television comedy isn't for the faint of heart." He grinned a little. "In the next few classes, I'll be putting you all through a vigorous sitting of all sorts of comedies. The good and the bad. Don't let Television Without Pity close up your hearts to the power of the sitcom."

There was a little amused irony in his voice, yes. "But this is introduction week. First, let me introduce your teaching assistants for this period. The talented Kate Gregson, and the dashing Jack Priest." A little more of that irony, but he meant it fondly.

"To start things off, I get the pleasure of catching you during your very first round of introductions of the session, so... name, favorite style of humor, and tell me a joke."

He pointed. "We'll start with you, then."

Enjoy the bean-bag chairs. What? There's not many of you; Mitchell's going to abuse the space he can get.

Oh yes, Bobby was going to flop right down in one of those beanbag chairs. Introduction day meant he didn't even have to pretend to take notes, excellent.

It didn't take much convincing to get Robin to throw himself down in one of the chairs.

Bod hadn't really ever seen beanbags before but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try. It took him a bit to get comfortable and, once he did, he decided he liked these particular chairs.

Del had almost disappeared on the bean bag chair, and she was loving every moment of that.

Layla kicked back and snuggled into her chair. It was reason enough to take the class alone.
