The 'Bu

2003–2005 · 1 season

A silly, fast-moving spoof that plays like a soap opera shot on a camcorder, all exaggerated drama and deadpan jokes.

Genres
Comedy, Action & adventure
Overview
An award-winning series from Channel 101's short film contest in the early 2000s. It mocks the soap opera television genre and satirized life in Malibu, California. There were seven episodes filmed, with an eighth episode "apology" also submitted after the creators decided to end the series. The original run was created by The Lonely Island; and starred Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Sarah Chalke.
