The new series won't be a cartoon like South Park. It will have real actors, and the two men are looking for sitcom veterans to help them put it together.
Parker and Stone tend to work like college students when producing South Park
Picture A1 and Tipping Gore, or George and Laura Bush, as a sitcom couple who leave the West Wing at the end of the day for the typical sitcom living room with chairs and a couch. A lot is up in the air about Family First three months before it goes on the air, starting with the obvious — who's going to be the first family.
"I don't think I'm going to," Stone said. "No blood on my hands."
President to be center of sitcom
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Trey Parker and Matt Stone are having a party tonight to watch election returns, and not because they have a deep interest in tax policy or Social security reform.
The South Park creators have signed a deal with Comedy Central to produce Family First, which they describe as a subversive comedy series about the life of the next president. It's scheduled to make its debut Feb. 28.
Both men said they were not even going to take the time to influence who would be the stars of their next series by voting.
The winner of the presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore will be the lead character of their new sitcom.
episodes, pulling all nighters to meet deadlines. Working with real actors provides no such luxury.
It's been a nerve-racking few months preparing for Family First. In September, when Gore was riding high in the polls, Parker and Stone were collecting material expecting the series to be about him. Bush's comeback caused some panic, but lately they're feeling comfortable there will be enough material no matter who wins tonight.
"I just don't like working with people," Parker said, only half-jokingly. "Working with cardboard cutouts is great."
Parker and Stone pitched their idea to other television networks, and said NBC was interested. But after friends told them they would likely sacrifice creative freedom at a broadcast network, they decided to stick with Comedy Central. Parker and Stone also think working with Comedy Central would make it easier to continue with South Park, which they are under contract to produce for three more years.
