    Oh my!!!
    What a great great series. You know, there has never been anything like this and I don't think there ever will.

    If I were to have been told about the project, I don't think I would have known what to expect. Imagine what the original script must have been like. With the finished product like this, imagine the creative process!!

    But seriously, this is a unique product. I am not sure what these guys are on but it sure works.

    The base of this series is that we all have our version of Royston Valley. The fact that it is a horrible place and the perfect setting for a horror story. To make it a comedy is a work of genius. It is one of the few programs that I can watch again and again.
