During the summer of ’96, Jeff Ledellaytner aired a half-hour compilation of “Poopy Productions” videos on Bethany, Connecticut’s public access station. He named the show “Funtime,” and launched the company into its third evolutionary phase: television. For three summers, the members of Funtime would create weekly half-hour episodes to be broadcast to hundreds of homes in the Housatonic region. The episodes included footage from high school and newer, more polished sketches created by George Cox, Frank Aveni, and Ledellaytner during their respective college experiences. In an effort to saturate the half-hour time slots, William Garre stepped-in alongside other Funtime contributors to make new comedic skits.
