Watching the Comedy Central programs this weekend, it occurred to me that both shows seem to have a setup that would be a middle ground between the basement of SCG and the relatively cavernous larger spaces for their colleagues.

Perhaps the jokes about the audience not getting into Price is Right won't be as fanciful in the future. As to his first point, perhaps there's a space in TV City where the seating could be bumped up a bit (150-175), and additional space available for a permanent music/comedian performance space. Put another way, take up some of the additional space so you don't have to move set pieces during the taping. For as much as I scorn the douchebag, Arthur does seem to have a larger space that is set up such that you don't really lose that 'basement' feel. David ________________________________ From: Dave Sikula <[email protected]> Subject: [TV orNotTV] Re: (Possible) contract extension for Ferguson with a possible bigger studio I'd think this is mistake for two reasons. One is part of the charm of the show is its "small audience makes it seem more like these folks snuck in to do a TV show" (like the early years of "LNwDL"). The second is, I wonder if they'd be able to fill all those seats every night. I suppose there are enough tourists desperate to see a TV show that they could do it, but I get almost a cult vibe from the current setup that I think would be diminished by people who just wandered over from the Farmer's Market. --Dave Sikula -- TV or Not TV ....
