Study Simulacra
July 30th, 2007
“Welcome to My Study,” the strange little show that Dyna and I threw together for last month’s Channel 102 screening has enjoyed a surprisingly long after-life after being killed by the audience.
It became a sleeper hit, of sorts and among its fans were the Big Honkin’ production team—creators of the current 102 show, “The Defenders of Stan.”
So it was flattering (and kind of baffling) when those guys invited Dyna and me down to DC to meticulously recreate “Welcome to My Study” as part of a show they were doing for a big broadcasting company. Their show is about the behind-the-scenes goings-on at a cable access station. “Welcome to my Study” is one of the shows on that station and Dyna and I play Mitchell and Michele, the strange brother and sister creative team behind “Welcome to my Study.” So we got to act like weirdos for several hours and got paid for it.
The Big Honkin’ guys have access to a big sound stage and were able to make a great version of the original “Welcome to my Study” set that looked like this:

In fact I kind of prefer it to the original set.
