I hate spunk. Terrible work mates. Are you kidding . Do these in the blend the [ bleep ] back . No. The problem with hiring women is theyre frail and breakable. Is it possible youre thinking of light bulbs or your hip . Hilarious. Lets talk about earning a living. Have you ever done it . No, but i could. Lucille ball with the chocolates. Funny. If one chocolate gets past you and into the Packing Room unwrapped, youre fired. All the writers needed to say is lucy had a conveyer belt. Youre good. Some of the most memorable episodes of I Love Lucy are when she gets a Job Occupant Side the home the rest unravels. When sitcoms started, they were Family Sitcoms and for years, thats all there was. And then we move into the 1960s, we start to see more people working in an office than on a factory line. For the first time in the history of our nation, a majority of all workers are in White Collar jobs. You were spending time getting to know your colleagues. You ready . Im ready. I got those the Dick Van Dyke show was laugh out loud funny. The Dick Van Dyke show black and white. Thats got me into sitcoms. That was Ground Breaking. First of all you had carl ryaner. Carl reiner got his start on show of shows with Sid Cesar which was not a sitcom, it was a variety show. Its supposed to be tent. The Writers Room, the talent just had carl with thats a place, thats a Gold Mine. A Writers Room is a Gold Mine and i remember talking to myself on the Way Home and said what piece of ground do i stand on that nobody else stands on . So ill write about the life. Ill write. Writers are lazy. People write what they know. We got a sketch. There is nothing to worry about, kids. I have got an idea. He will play the part of a talking bully pin. I thought it was the greatest idea because in most sitcoms, you dont know what the husband did for a living. The second number should come before the big sketch. Gee, i dont know. I like it. Now i like it. Yeah, me, too. I like it, too. What do you know . Look at the tie youre wearing. I love the fact it was a glimpse into the Writers Room. Seeing how shows worked was fat fascinating to me. This dress is years old. It still works. If ive me a kiss. I must have seen about 30 girls and when she came into the room, she just said hello, her name was and i heard a ping and a voice. If it will make you feel any better if i tell you how really sorry i am . Well, no. The original intent of the Dick Van Dyke show was mostly it to take place in the workplace. Three, two, one, zero. We did it. What . What did we do . We wasted a whole day. Audiences were used to the big Family Sitcoms of the time and didnt really take to the Dick Van Dyke show at first. They were going to cancel it. They had Mary Grant Tinker who was a Cvs Executive on the show. Tinker helped save the show by pushing Mary Tyler Moore to the forefront. I think you look very nice without your hair . These shows that straddle the workplace almost always result in something tasty. No, im not saying this just because im in trouble, goodness knows i am. Would you like these . What do you suggest i do with all of these now, huh . Well, there must be some needy bald people. [ laughter ] needy bald people . And it ultimately became a rating sensation. Thats the best five years of my life. I dont believe this. The best thing ive ever done hands out no question about it. I was 19 in 1967 and it was Dick Van Dyke that made a huge impression on me. After the Dick Van Dike show, Mary Tyler Moore was one of the larger stars in America And Mary and my dad started laying the groundwork for their own company. Mary Tyler Moore enterprises has a woman whose name is on this. And its like i dont need to be this roaring big macho presence. And within that you have important messaging about women in the workplace and those politics appear on broadcast television, in a Workplace Comedy like the Mary Tyler Moore show. You just might make it after all moves to minnesota to start work at wj mtv. What religion am i . Mr. Grant, i dont quite know how to say this but youre not allowed to ask that when someone is applying for a job. Want to call a cop . [ laughter ] it did represent what women were going through in the 70s. They were standing up saying i must be heard. Sitcoms used to be about the wife was at home doing the dishes and then this woman sprang on to a screen to have a job and often the smartest person there. It was sort of liberating. You got spunk. And i waited a beautiful moment and i say. I hate spunk. And i want to correct something right now. I dont hate spunk. I love spunk. It was a total shift in gender roles. Shes a single working woman, you know, living in a building with Other single women. How would you both like to help abolish Capital Punishment . Philis, there is no capitol punishment. It creating this uncomfortable dynamic. It was right, huh . Yes, ted, you were right. Ted the ego statistical ego man. All right, all right, lets not dwoel on it. The extraordinary betty white. Who played Sue Ann who was man hungry and had a mirrored ceiling over her bed. I think television needs bright young women. Look at me. Thats what i love about workplace comedies. People that would never in A Million years have spoken but come connected anyway and have to live with humor on a day to day, second to second basis to get through it. Chuckles the clone is bent. The funeral of Chuckles The Clown is one of the great moments in comedy. He went to the parade dressed as Peter Peanut and a Rogue Elephant tried to shell him. Everyone is trying to make fun of it Other than mary. I wonder which ones are the Other clowns. They will jump out of a little hurst. At the end of the day, all these comedies are about a crazy dysfunctional family gathered together in a workplace. Chuckles the clown bought pleasure to millions. [ laughter ] its so relatable. So go ahead, my dear, laugh. [crying] Announcer History on the Sitcom Brou you were dismis the staff. Did you intend to fire me too, especially me. Go on having doing the Mary Tyler Moore show because i love it so much. Mary Tyler Moore enterprises decided to end the show while it was still good. The Television Station where Mary Works is bought out. Everyone is fired. I think we all need some kleenex. There is some near your desk. How do we leave this room . Saying goodbye to the show and to each Other. Its still emotional after all these years because that was a family. The Mary Tyler Moore show. In the 1970s, the Baby Boom Generation had not settled into the domestic scene. The standard family show. Im sure he has girlfriends but he denies it. Well, of course, todd is 13 now. [ laughter ] the fact that so many people in hollywood were hitting the couch probably opened the doors for the setting of the show. I enjoyed the oddity of the people. What seems to be your problem, stan . You have no idea what its like to be incredibly good looking. [ laughter ] i go into my office and there is a puppet. There is a Workplace Comedy or family comedy, you bring together these eccentric types and it works because of bob newhearts voice. Bob, they are flipping a corn, youre going to mitsz the whole thing. You put a lot of Thought And Effort and energy into this. Are you going to ask me if you can eat in front of the Television Set . Eventually i was doing to ask you. I think it was the beginning of a really smart sophisticated ensemble comedy. I dont hear nothing. Wait for it. M. A. S. H. Is a workplace that the chaos of the war makes the work so intense and crazy. We were set in korea but of course, at that time it aired the Vietnam War was going on . Those helicopters will be filled with canadians. A lot of those kids arent getting home from that party. Attention, all personnel report immediately to admitting Ward And Operating room. We were people who were flawed doing their best work in an impossible situation, on m. A. S. H. I was drawn to the Off Beat characters. If you say no, well tell everybody your brOther is in jail. My brOther is a warden. We wont say that part. Hawk Eye Pierce was the center of the show. He was that pivot and it was Hawk Eye and trapper john flipping the bird to the establishment to get one up on hot lips and frank. Ive always said it, behind every great man there is a woman with a vibrator. What do you want . [ laughter ] they run the camp that Colonel Blake thought he was running. Clinger, The One thing that General Mcarthur is a Flower Girl with a 5 00 shadow. There is a constant debate about morality. Why are we here . How are we treating these people and each Other . I hope this guy doesnt mind ignoring orders by living. At the end of the third season. Put a mask on. Kerry walks in and says. The plane was shot down over the sea of japan. Its bunion. There were no survivors. That moment is pure honesty. I have trouble telling that story four years later. I just never even think of it as a sitcom. You know, it was just m. A. S. H. M. A. S. H. Really blew up what a Workplace Sitcom could be. There was death. There was sorrow. There was really a mixing of genre that was Ground Breaking. The first dramaity in prime time television. Its gunfire. Its 2 30 in the morning. M. A. S. H. Lasted 11 seasons. If we didnt have such a terrific union here, id put in my Twoweek Notice by in two weeks.

Its wireless so good, it keeps one upping itself. People who want to work but cant find jobs. The 70s is kind of a lose Generation And Everybody was trying to find themselves. The economy was in the tank and you see that reflected in the sitcom. Thats no longer a problem. Thats a tradition. Something is wrong with your lights. If you look at the 12th precinct, it was such a crepted place. Well, well, well, the same old melting pot. Kelly, what are you doing here . How do you like this. Havent helped a bit. Real cops dealing with funny situations. Get out of here. Boy, do i hate to start a day like this . How lyndon is basically the Bob New Heart of that office. Surrounded by all the craziness. My personality. Does she have the same address . The Workplace Comedy is great because all the characters come in and are not related so they dont have something in common. Turned out to be a diverse cast which was i guess, different in those days. Jack sue, gregory sierra, Ron Glass was unusual and revolutionary. I believe that when the 70s happened, it was a fallout of the 60s and they who might have had a dream about how america would be a completely different place then had to get a job. Were all part time here. I only work 60 hours a week. A bunch of people in the garage. We had dreams. Were not going to make it. Well stick in the garage forever but the dream is the thing it was about. I just called the gym. They want me to spar with carlos. The gym . Wow. The champ hitting my face.

Probably stand up. On that show people from completely different backgrounds create a dysfunctional family and thats exciting for comedy because you get to bounce these people off each Other. And now, here is our lead. Much like taxi its a staff of working people doing their best and not always the best is coming from it. This is rock bottom. Wkrp is about a low rate the station. How about this Stations Helicopter . We dont have one. Why do we have Helicopter Reports . Just me, i get on and do this. Lights Today And Traffic are heavy. The workplace is a wonderful setting for so many comedies because its a refuge. You get away from your kids. You get away from your wife. And youre in this little environment with people you get to know probably closer than you should know and out of that will come conflicts. I dont take dictation. I dont know how jennifer ended up as receptionest. Get coffee for the guys here. I dont get coffee, we agreed. My mOther was a 50s Housewife so she was not in a workplace. Jennifer marleau was so popular because girls are going like yeah, you can be just as cute as you want to be and be smart and you dont have to do what you dont want. Thank you. Oh, no, thank you. How did she get away with that . Are you kidding . I love the wkrp in cincinnati. That Turkey Episode is one of the funniest things ive seen in my life. Herb, youre in charge of getting the turkeys.

And so the net Works Mantra is target the women. Women responded positively to men performing domestic tasks. Tony, here about the job. Oh, sorry, there must be a mistake.

Thats why they made her the president. So angela is an Advertising Executive on whos the boss. Elyce keeton on Family Ties is an architect. They have these professional up scale careers rather than just jobs. Those are really powerful fantasies for women in the 80s. As a travel agent, i like to think im a little cog in a big machine. A very little cog. In 1986, Linda Bloodworththomason went to cbs and said i just want to say what all women are really about, opinionated and successful when given opportunities. Linda bloodworththomason created an all version of the female Workplace Comedy that we had not seen before. Im going to do what i always wanted to do, start my own decorating business and no matter how many Fight Firsted Bankers wail their teeth, i have no intention of going under. It was a great cast and great writing. I cant seem to find any of my alamony checks. I think you misplaced them. I love the outrageousness of characters. If sex were fast food, there would be an arch over your bed. But they had an intelligence, which was refreshing to see on television. Yall watching . Were just about to vote. In 1991 Designing Women takes on the Clearance Thomas Hearings with anita hill. I deny each and every single allegation against me today. They were tackling the me too movement before that was a name for it. This man doesnt belong on the supreme court. He belongs in theater. We were at a point in history where women felt like they had some power and i thought id create this show around a woman who was a force of nature in a workplace that had traditionally been a mans world. And thats very different from what you could have written in the early 1970s. Im Connie Chung in new york. Im barbara walters. Im murphy brown. I remember pitching the show in a very cold room in the Cbs Building and when i got to the point where she had just come back from betty ford. Hi, everybody. You could hear the Brakes Screeching in the room. You were fondling it while i was gone. They said couldnt she be 30 and played by Heather Locklear and i explained why when you shave down the rough edges of the character you bland them out and maybe this is why you havent had a hit. Murphy was defined as being excellent in her career. The Justice Department shut you down on 15 counts of fraud. They said you swindled 10 Million from unsuspected investors. She didnt care what people thought of her. Youre the most cool headed person i ever met. Youre elitest. You always have to make a point, dont you . Yes, i do and here is anOther point.

It got under peoples skin. With the california primary two weeks away, Vice President Quail blamed the break down of american families in part on the program murphy brown. Bearing babies irresponsible is simply wrong. I thought im trading one liners with the Vice President of the united states. In a recent speech, Vice President Quail used me as an example of the poverty of values in this country. Diane english and Linda Blood worth Tom Son changed the game. Most Show Runners in a totally male dominated industry. The shows were breakthrough. We could choose to blame the media or the congress or an administration thats been in power for 12 years or we could blame me. [ laughter ] can you be free of Hair Breakage worries .

Do you have any idea what time we get out of here . We dont want to work. Its not fair to these people. These people are my friends and i care about them. From the 1990s, definitely working more than before and as a result of that, you start to see more Workplace Settings than might have been possible previously. Were a Super Star short. Did we have luck on Jim Carey . We never let him plug ace ventura. Broke the rules of Workplace Comedy. The Larry Sanders Show is probably the most realistic show ever written about television. Listen, how would you like to come on my Show Tomorrow Night and say goodbye . Its the whole end of a thing tomorrow night. Goodbye. Capturing how broken and low functioning the people are. A little unethical, dont you think . Unethical . The whole world with unravel. Thanks for the upbeat talk. Mary Tyler Moore didnt work in a newsroom. Bob new Heart Wasnt a Psychiatrist But Gary had been a talk show host. Sleep well. Remember, well all be sleeping at the same time. I think he signalled you could mind your life and make a show out of that. So what do i do now . Pretend like youre talking to me until were off the air so it wont seem weird. The Larry Sanders Show gave hbo their voice. But that was on pay cable. The Network Television we had spent tenures doing these hangout shows and eventually everyone realized, like, there is not going to be anOther friends and so we kind of returned to this notion theyre hanging out because they work together. They dont have a choice. By the time you get to the 2000s, scrubs is a good example. My pitch was a broad silly comedy. A brOther finally can breathe. And youre inside of a young doctors head. Death is always hanging around this hospital. M. A. S. H. Was an influence on me pause i was drawn to comedy that somehow was still about something. This isnt really what i expected, you know . Most of my patients are checked out mentally. Pumpkin . Thats modern medicine. Advances that keep people alive that should have died a long time ago back when they lost what made them people. For the love of god. What . Do you think we should be talking in front of her . Shes dead. In the early 2000s there was this hunger to reinvent the Network Sitcom and nbc decided to take a chance on a u. K. Hit called The Office. There is good news and Bad News. The Bad News is some of you will lose your jobs, yeah, yeah, i know. I know. Gutting. Gutting. I was so impressed by that show. This is nothing like anything on tv right now. The good news is ive been promoted. I had a dream i was on Comedy Court and they took me to task for ruining the british show. And Greg Daniels was like hey, you like the English Office lets stay close to the pilot. How many times have i told you there is a special filing cabinet. The waste paper basket. There are so many reasons to have failed. Weird looking actors. You know, are we rolling . So the first season ends. No one likes it. Ironically a lot of views said It Hues too close to the british show. Then the Big Thing was okay, now well write all our own stories. I want michael to be very optimistic. His intentions had to be good even when he was doing terrible things. Nobody leaves until we work this out. Cage match. Cage matches, yeah, they work. How could they not work . If they didnt work, everybody would be in the cage. American shows are less scenical. Do i have a special someone . Well, yeah, of course. A bunch of them. My employees. I wrote a Christmas Episode where michael had bought ryan a video ipod, which had just come out. Whoa. Wow. Gee. About four days later, apple announces that it has made content deals with nbc. Id like to just show you the Tv Show here. This is an episode from The Office. No youll thank me later. The first Episode Back was the highest episode ever because nobody did anything but spend weeks of watching The Office on video ipods. This was astounding to the people at nbc. These are high School And College kids watching the show in droves and theyve never set foot in an office. And eventually, i realized, okay, well this is because their experience in school. Everything dwight does annoys me. Did you get your tickets . To what . The gun show. Theyre put at a desk to anOther kid they may or may not like. That must be what theyre identifying with. I manage my department and ive been doing that for several years now and ive learned a lot of lessons along the way. Your department is just you, right . Yeah, but im not easy to manage. It was the biggest sitcom on Nbc And Nbc was sold on the quirk Workplace Sitcoms. With 30 Rock i wanted to see how much you could push the premise to Mary Tyler Moore and the first was in a News Environment and nbc passed on it and said no, write more of what you know. We were there at 30 Rock and snl. We knew what went on in The Office. Lets get to two commercial party. We were trying to think of a funnier cereal name. The first includes Honey Bunches of sadness, Oat Bum and swastikos. Fart nuggets. [ laughter ] 30 Rock is about a woman thats a caretaker for an ego performer. You two, your job is to protect me from embarrassment had to go to the optometrist. Words wont save you. You Cant Fire rose mary. You, you can. Observe. Jonathan, youre fired. The Workplace Setting is great for comedy because youre with all kinds of different people. I understand this is tough for you. What did i tell you . Not to freak out. What else . Stop falling in love with gay guys. Anybody that worked in a regular office could relate. Im always The One that has to clean up the mess afterwards. Thats why my job is way better than yours. Do you know Joe Biden . Hes on my celebrity sex list. Trust me, you can do better than joe. No, i dont think i can. In summer of 2008, Barack Obama was running for president and the government was going to be playing an active role in peoples lives. Parks and recs actually called Public Service at one point. We are taking the template of The Office, it takes place in one of three room and in the same dreary building. All of a sudden The World is our oyster. Here we go. Leslie knope was optimistic but she had big ambition which was good for comedy. I would like to tell people get on board and buckle up. We thought it was important for the main character to be a woman because he wanted to be a show and a trailblazer in many ways. Do you mind if i borrow your hat . It was a realistic look of a viksal version we all had because there were people of all different shapes and sizes and ethnicities and all mingling together. Can you get me out of it . Yes. Normally if given a choice between something or nothing, i choose to do nothing. When Parks And Recs ended, we landed on a joint respect for bobby miller. Most life as an officer is not chasing bad guys in the streets, is sitting around the precinct and Killing Time because it is an office. What the hell is going on around here . And go the show started off as pretty silly. One of the tricky thing about a show lasting for a long time is attitude changed and in this case there was no version of telling a bunch of stories about a Police Precinct that could have gone all over the issues of policing that the whole country talked about. I got stopped by a cop last night. For what . For walking. What are you doing around here . I live around here. It is our remarkable achievement to take a social issue, something thats so serious and not only find the humor but find the humanity in it. It is right outside my home. Nothing like that never had happened to me and i have done something suspicious in the streets. What are you doing . Playing a prank on my buddy. Sounds fun. After the election of president obama, there was no room for hope in politicians as much as division. Which was the perfect time for a show like veep. I cant [ bleep ] believe how terrible you are at your job. What are you running on a platform of higher taxes . If a bomb went off in the white house, i would not care. Those are the worse people on earth. Where were you, amy . You said you had it covered. I think we love Workplace Sitcom because we identify with them even with these unlikable people in this unlikable world. Well, they think excited of a possibility of a woman becoming a president. Not necessarily you. Every generation gets put in the satire it deserves. It is tough to compete with reality. The trump administration. I have a lovely inauguration, Billy Joel is going to sing so you guys have to stop the recount. Any show is about workplace or a group of people, they eventually migrate into well, whos the dad or the mom or the crazy uncle. They kind of fit into a family circumstances. Anywhere can be a workplace. Morning. Morning. You do realize that i am lost, right . Oh. It is this way, sir. It can be an american coach being dropped in a british premier football team. Look at this guy. They call it police boots. I thought you said the trunk of the car is a boot . Reflecting society. Reflecting all of our false and yet being able to laugh at ourselves. Whether it is Dirty Rock doing a Tv Show or on moon base. Do not take off your seat belt. I forgot to my bird. Oh my god, where is your bird . Next stop is the moon. 3w4r5. Guess what famous personality i carried in my Cab Today . We talk about Race And Culture in serious ways. Thats important. Discussing these in a sitcom, youre not defensive, youre able to take in new ideas. Give you anOther hint, bango, bango. Knowing you hes probably black
