They created and performed in the television shows The D-Generation and The Late Show before creating Frontline (as well as Funky Squad between seasons 1 and 2 of Frontline). After Frontline they moved into feature films, making several popular Australian movies including The Castle and The Dish, and hosted The Panel for several years, before moving on to Thank God You're Here.
The series was partly inspired by a 60 Minutes special Has the media gone too far?. It bears some similarity to the UK series Drop the Dead Donkey.

Famous quotes containing the word production:

—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
