A traditional family sitcom exploring all the traditional network television tropes – chauvinism, sexism, adultery, rape, murder, love, etcetera.
An adaption of playwright Seanie Sugrue’s stage work titled “Love Is Dead!” Shot in a traditional three-camera sitcom setup on a psuedo sound stage in Queens, NY as three standalone episodes of a television show that’s WAY too risque for any network’s rigid, conformative tastes, LID! very simply has never been done. We went all the way with the old-school 70-80’s sitcom format – the three-camera sitcom setup, framed it in a 4×3 video aspect ratio, added a range of VHS tape playback effects to both picture and sound, painted in a studio audience reacting inappropriately, even threw in commercial breaks with off-putting PSA’s and ads. It aims to be the TV show that every morbid sitcom writer’s room from yesteryear wished it could have been.
