SuperNews Gets Half Hour Order
In Mark Glaser’s recent interview with SuperNews creator Josh Faure-Brac, we’ve learned that the show has been greenlit for 10 half-hour episodes. According to the lengthy PBS.org interview, these new long-form comedy episodes will hit the airwaves in late January. Here’s a quote from the interview that details some of what we might expect:
JOSH: We’re building the staff up and using a lot of the concepts you’ve seen on our previous shorts, like the Social Networking Wars. We’re taking those characters of Friendster, MySpace and Facebook and having them live in an apartment together, a la Three’s Company with a laugh track. They’re always trying to get girls over, and trying to keep Friendster out of the loop.
