In a 1994 interview with "U. Magazine", Dikkers discussed Onion, Inc.'s plans to create a new sketch comedy show called "The Comedy Castaways", which they were in the process of pitching to NBC, Fox, and HBO. With a pilot and the first two episodes in post-production, Dikkers said, "I think what sets us apart is we've intentionally formed a tightly knit group of funny performers. A lot of these other shows are created by 50-year-olds, written by 40-year-olds and performed by 35-year-olds".
