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."

"I was raised in a graveyard so yes, they were ghosts," Bod confirmed with a nod. "And the older ones weren't always too keen on me being there but I think they adjusted. Being the only human there was more interesting than not. I enjoyed learning about historical events from those that were there instead of right from books."

Mitchell snorted. "The old ones," he said, with a slightly amused shake of his head. "But not a jokester among the bunch, then? Looks like we've got some catch-up for you."
