FSW: Spiner and Fry Edition (Ken’s Entry)
David mentioned that this was a unique challenge, and I definitely agree. Not only were we trying to write for established actors with fairly distinctive styles, but hopefully to create something that could be expanded into a television show. Gulp! In some ways, this felt more about writing the world’s shortest pilot than a sketch.…

FSW: We Three Kings…
The gods of writing have pretty much conspried against me getting anything out before Friday these days. I’m just thankful for that west-coast midnight deadline 🙂 Our newest sketch warrior suggested the theme last week: Learning Something New About History. I figured I’d jump the gun and get into the Christmas spirit as well. Richard…

FSW: Oprah Edition
Annnnnnnndddd coming in just under the wire… It’s Friday Sketch War….and if you’re going to come to a war, it’s nice to be fashionably late (hey, it worked for the U.S. in both world wars, right???). Anyway here’s my foray into the world of Oprah…and her friends. Peter put the Big O in Oprah for…

FSW: Horrible Family Holiday edition
Happy almost-Thanksgiving everyone! This weeks theme was: horrible family holidays It was graciously provided by @tjonsek, who suggested it on Richard’s blog. Speaking of Richard, he took us out for a lovely Holiday dinner in New York for his salvo. I decided to examine the origins of Holiday drama in America. And…if you’d like to…

FSW: Autumn Edition
Nothing like coming in under the wire! This week got unexpectedly crazy, but neither corporate machinations, travel plans, unexpected improv workouts nor the cranky elderly can keep me from my appointed sketch!!! Richard gave us “Autumn” as our theme for the week – and Autumn years was what jumped to mind. So below is my…

FSW: Reconciliation
What a week! California especially has been weird – Obama wins a historic predential election (thankfully!!!! WHOOOOOOHOOOOO), California’s live stock gets breathing room, and California’s gay marriage rights get revoked….go figure. The good news is it ain’t over til the fat lady sings, and the fat ladies life-partner sings harmony. There’s lots of reconcilition to…

FSW: Trick or Treat edition
Happy Halloween Everybody! Let’s drop a little sketch into that goody bag shall we? It’s sugar free, but I won’t gurantee it’s razor-blade free. This week’s theme was “Trick or Treat” – and since I offered it up, I tried to get as many variations of tricks, treats and trick-or-treating into the sketch as possible.…

FSW: Mad Scientist edition
Welcome to…..FRIDAY SKETCH WAR – MAD SCIENTIST EDITION!!!! BWAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (if you were expecting subtle dignity with a theme like Mad Scientist, you are out of your freakin’ mind!!!). It’s been a crazy week, so what better way to polish it off than with a Mad Scientist sketch. No word from Michael or Dave yet, but…

FSW: Best Friends Edition
Stop, hey what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s goin down….it’s the FRIDAY SKETCH WAR – BEST FRIENDS EDITION!!! And this week, I took “war” a little too literally. Richard gave our theme last week – not sure who theme duties fall to this week since Michael’s status is up in the air, but Dave rejoined…

FSW: Bailout
I’ve been threatening to do it for a while, and whaddya know, this week I finally did it – a sketch with a musical number. I chose the theme of Bailout last week – can’t imagine why! And I’m posting late (geez lyrics take a while to write). But, since we seem to have a…
