Episode 222 - The One That Bids You Good Day

In this episode Dave and James weave together all the strands of the previous 221 to bring the podcast narrative to a pulsating climax... no they don't, this is sitcom where stories never end and people never grow. They talk instead about the best and worst sitcom endings of all time - and offer their final thoughts about how to approach this noble urge to create and complete your fabulous sitcom.

I love these guys! Listening to this podcast gets my mind spinning and helps me understand not just sitcoms, but stories in general.

If learning how sitcoms work from the writing and production side is what you look for in a podcast, this show won't disappoint. James and Dave clearly have a passion for the art form, and that shows in every discussion, whether they're talking about the history of a specific show, their own writing, and even the issues that face Sitcoms as our culture changes. Give this show your earholes. Totally worth it.
Solid information

Sitcom Geeks is a great breakdown of the art of writing sitcoms - primarily, but the comments are well worth investigating no matter what type of writing you do. The only downside is that they only release new episodes every other week.
