LA’s newest home for comedy, especially the kind that colors outside the lines, The Elysian, is officially alive. We have artistic director Kate Banford join us for this week’s TCB Field Report to give us the origin stories of both herself (her first theater in Philadelphia, The Good Good Comedy Theatre) and this shiny new theater (and even explain why they went with a skunk for a logo). Banford has long since done and championed comedy that pushes the art form forward and, with so many LA venues closed over the last two years, it’s a saving grace that Kate and company have come in with The Elysian in Frogtown (or more formally known, but never referred to as Elysian Valley).

Also, “hot” takes on Vulture’s Comedians You Should & Will Know list, Dan and Eugene Levy’s lifestyle series, and the new Charlie Chaplin doc on Showtime.

The source material for Schitt’s Creek, The Kardashians, keep sticking around. Naturally, there’s more in the well to draw from.

Pop, the cable network that was revamped from the TV Guide Channel, is making their best bet by re-upping, for a 3rd season, the original comedy series that got Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Chris Elliott on their programming line-up.

In case you’re not caught up, Schitt’s Creek which follows an formerly rich, obnoxious family having to live in a town they bought as a joke.

Season two is set to premiere later this month on Wed. Mar. 16th.

Well, it didn’t take long for Schitt’s Creek, the Eugene and Daniel Levy Canadian faux-reality series parodying the Kardashians, to find a home here in America.

TV Guide Network is being rebranded to have more programming as “Pop” and has just acquired Schitt’s Creek to play here in the U.S.

In a TV landscape with plenty of channels rebranding, this seems like a pretty good step forward for the launch of Pop.

Eugene Levy has grown tired of the worldwide obsession with the Kardashians and has opted to make a film that delves into the possibility of what would happen if the Kardashians went broke.

Parodying the Kardashian family as the Rose family, Levy has gotten Catherine O’Hara, Chris Elliott, and his son Daniel Levy together for the upcoming Canadian film “Schitt’s Creek” where a once-reality-tv-famous family has to move back to a small town that they bought for the hell of it.

This very well could be along the lines of Burning Love or Hotwives of Orlando, so keep a close watch on Schitt’s Creek.
