Subject: Do you write comedy as well as parody?

If you've ever fancied yourself a scriptwriter, you might want to go here: http://wherearethejoneses.wikidot.com/.
Where are the Joneses? is a daily British web comedy, shot from ideas and scripts submitted by the public. The premise is that Dawn Jones has discovered that she is the progeny of a rather active sperm donor and that she has 27 siblings. Now she is on a quest to find them all.

Sitcom is one area I've not touched: I've done some stand-up (not very well, and mainly to introduce the songs), and I have a comic musical on the go. But I very much doubt I'll be hitting a sitcom. One good episode may well be possible, but to keep it going - hell, it'd probably end up like Friends...

It seems like you'd need to watch the almost 50 episodes that they have before you could really contribute.
