Worth remembering "IKEA Heights", a soap opera filmed covertly inside the IKEA store in Burbank, California 10 years ago.

Whoa that's hilarious, it's got [1] Randall Park in it before he was famous!

Do you know some other series from that era? I recently discovered "GoodNeighborStuff" which has the same quality sketch comedy feel to it.

Take a look at Channel101.com, it seems like this show originally was screened there. The idea is people submit 5 minute tv pilots and only continue making them if the live channel101 audience votes to renew them for another episode.

Almost everything on channel101, even now, still feels like quality sketch comedy. Some of the best stuff though is Dan Harmon's original shows - though there are almost too many to watch http://www.channel101.com/talent/108

I almost forgot about it! Great throwback, this "show" was hilarious.
This. Is. Hilarious. I've never heard of this before.
