| abstract | - The show's origins can be traced back to 2008. FOX's ratings were greatly dropping after the Republicans they supported had f**ked up the nation. FOX was desperate to gain viewers or they would have to start actually paying their bills for the studio. So in a desperate attempt to regain viewers, they decided to make a historical T.V. series that focused on the Democrats, since they had been gaining much popularity in the past days, so they immediately got to work on finding a team that could make such a show entertaining and enjoyable for viewers. Their search ended after they hired Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer to direct the show. FOX allowed the duo to have complete freedom while making the show as long as they addressed political issues and current events. Immediately after being hired, Friedberg and Seltzer went out to their usual video store and rented a large variety of videos, hoping to get some ideas on how to handle the show. After the two saw the random assortment of videos, they finally knew how they could make the show enjoyable. Production started the next day and after twenty weeks of screaming, editing and accidents on set, the show made its grand debut and on Friday June 13th, 2008. Unknown to FOX, they had planted the seeds to a near apocalypse.
