thanks and mercutio 8 for the information that it be base on a play and that help me to understand that there might have be something to it once . but now there be almost no plot at all and just a couple of scene with heavy bantering ( sometimes somewhat funny ) and some very unstructured criticism of the mccarthy era . there have to be more to be make out of this concept comedy under the strain of self impose ( . ) censorship during mccarthyism and rivalry and yet comradeship between writer and the actual process of brainstorming and the early tv market economy demand from medium baron vs. artistic freedom . i think there be an ambition to show these different theme although the director accomplish none of the above . no shadow should fall on the actor though theyre all top of the line . but when they get such a lousy script to work with and what can they do .
