Brothers TV is a

OUTtv in 2005. The series was created by and starred real life brothers Andy and Josh Rimer and included sketch comedy segments, hidden camera pranks, conversations with strangers, and comical debates.[1]

Production

Brothers TV was inspired by Andy's desire to make a website for himself and a 30-second sketch was recorded via a webcam.[2] From combining Josh's passion for acting and Andy's love of pranks came the pitch for the series. When it was suggested they make a demo a 15-minute video was produced and sent to various production companies. That led to an offer to send the brothers to Hollywood to pitch their series. Television executives were receptive to their idea but concerned about their lack of experience.[3] It was suggested they make a few episodes and then try again. Brothers TV began production in August 2004 and was filmed in Calgary, Alberta.[4] After making three episodes they thought to air them themselves so they purchased airtime on Access, Alberta's public television station.[1] The series debuted at 1:30am on 2 October 2004. A total of eight episodes were made.[5]
