1985 – Ended2 Seasons16 EpisodesComedy

The Comedy Factory (no known affiliation with the comedy club of the same name) was a live-action, scripted comedy series that aired during the summers of 1985 and 1986 on ABC in the United States and CTV in Canada (which also oversaw production). The show centered around comedians and actors performing scenes from television pilots that had previously been rejected by ABC. Further information about the show is limited, and nearly every episode is presumed lost; only the premiere episode, "Honey, It's the Mayor," is known to survive in its entirety (uploaded to YouTube).
