UPFRONTS 2013: The Overachievers 
Liz Murdoch has talked about wanting to beef up comedy at her Shine Group and now she’s done it. Shine has bought UK comedy producer Brown Eyed Boy from Motive Television. This is Shine’s 5th new UK-based production company alongside Dragonfly (factual), Kudos (drama), Princess Productions (entertainment) and Shine TV. Gary Reich, managing director of Brown Eyed Boy, has discovered some of Britain’s best comedians including Sacha Baron Cohen and The Mighty Boosh’s Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. NBC is developing a U.S. version of Brown Eyed’s BBC sitcom How Not To Live Your Life.

Why do I suspect that if this company keeps growing the way it’s growing, it’ll be nipping at America’s shores in a few years.
wow Furious Douche, that’s a super interesting question.
too late…shine owns reveille
Reveille’s a good start, but I’m suspecting they’re going to do something bigger. The USA market’s too big for a company obsessed with growth to be satisfied with a relatively small player. Also the network’s are slowly realizing that their dream of total in-house “synergy” was more smoke and mirrors, and an independent player that’s already big and international could make a major dent in the market on its own.
