Cabin Pressure Valve

Hey, so the world is falling apart: what we need is some comedy!

CABIN PRESSURE: ST PETERSBURG
I don't ordinarily like sitcoms, but this is damn fine comedy writing. I want to sit the Disney story department down in a room, lock the door, and play this for them. I would say things like:

"Comedy isn't funny things happening to ordinary people! Comedy is ordinary things happening to funny people!"

and

"Gags don't have to be mere filler between plot points! Gags can be the plot points!"

But then I'd get arrested for unlawful detention and probably one or two fire code violations, and they wouldn't listen to me anyway. They should bring in John Finnemore to talk instead. I would sit in the front row, and maybe bring flowers.

... Actually no, they'd probably book him to come in after I'd made irrevocable plans to be out of town on that day, as usual.
