The Comedy-O-Rama Hour: THE ADVENTRES OF TEAMAN

The Comedy-O-Rama Hour

Hi Gang!

Here's an e-mail I got today from MITCHELL PEARSON, the creator of THE ADVENTURES OF TEAMAN, which airs as part of THE COMEDY-O-RAMA HOUR! We did 12-half-hours before is troupe of actors disbanded.

Check it out:

Joe,
i can't tell you how much i admire your love of radio.
the idea of the voice.
the adventures of tman came from my disappointment with comedy at the time.
there was a comedy troupe in the nearest big city, philadelphia, that were up for it and it was recorded in the basement of two houses in that city.
the leader of the comedy troupe was cast as tman and the most talented performer was cast as polfroon. i let the rest of the troupe take the parts they felt appropriate.
the duchess was played by two actresses thats why there is a scene in 'gas video' where the two characters actually meet, the first actress introduces the second actress, but the gag in that scene 'wooly curtains' fell flat.
dr blom was played by three different actors, although we often struggled to fill that voice the performance was always outstanding.
i myself am in one episode with one line. it was a running gag and we didn't have enough actors to read the 5? line joke. i think that was recorded in an office building in new jersey.
the duchess was played by two actresses, but maggie mccann? really established the role
there are only 2 female characters, the duchess and edna the mad scientists assistant
although the duchess seems sexually available it is edna who has the most fun.
we recorded the first 6? episodes for you and when your show was taken off the air, due to your support we recorded 6 or 7 more.
i always recorded the scenes out of sequence because i didn't trust the actors, so every-time there was emotion.
i think i knew the troupe was breaking up so i took 2 scripts instead of the usual 1.
we did a normal run through of just scenes for the first script and then we laughed and hung out and i presented them with the 2nd script and we recordered it in about the length of it.
Fun.
