After the debut of Commercial Parodies On-Line, we began to try to take our classic sketches, previously only improvised, and script them just to record the classic comedy in an archive and to make sure that it would never be forgotten... but mostly just to see if we could.  At some point, it dawned on us that we could take these sketches that we had written and combine them with new sketches into a script for a half hour version of a Commercial Parodies TV show.  This worked surprisingly well, and soon more episodes began to emerge, and continue to emerge to this day.  Here is the episode guide to the existing episodes of the potentially on-going Commercial Parodies TV show.  We've included one sketch from every episode, just to kind of give you a feel for what we're writing and also to prove that this isn't a sick joke, like much of what we do.
