Funny...Well done. It's a lot better than 99% of the stuff on TV.
- Peter Johnson, USA Today
Bracingly funny...Competitive...with the very best that networks have to offer
- Scott Collins, LA Times
...the Seinfeld of the next decade?
- NPR "All Things Considered"
One of my favorite shows...
- Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal
Another winner. Think "Studio 60" with a "Daily Show" edge.
- Ellen Lee, San Francisco Chronicle
A masterclass in how to make quality comedy TV on a tiny budget.
Addictive comic nonsense, in Burbank or anywhere else.
- Radio Times
Black’s writing is simultaneously sophisticated and unpretentious, and he
manages to get in a bit of social commentary in there as well.

The Murphy Brown of this millenium
- Amy Murphy, LA's Fox11 News
"Goodnight Burbank" is a satire about a local news
program that is one of the best send-ups around of
both the news and the shallowness of newsmakers.
- Steve Smith, Editor, Wireless Business Forecast
A beautifully written and excellently performed comedy series, Goodnight
Burbank ostensibly shows a nightly newscast broadcasting out of California.
But this is more a comedy of relationships, as the dysfunctional co-anchors
spar and joust, both during the broadcast and in off-air moments.
...brilliantly satirises local US TV news and would not look out of place on a network
- BBC News
It's an excellent format that's perfect for a video podcast, and Hayden Black,
who write and acts, has something of the "Ricky Gervais" about him. His two
co-stars are also perfectly cast, and the whole series is outstanding.

writer/creator/Gordon Hayden Black
...I'm looking forward to seeing how the on-air relationships gel or in this case
dissolve. The secret to dood comedy, is having characters you can believe in and actors who
can portray them to their fullest. Goodnight Burbank succeeds on both counts.
- Vidcast Launchpad
An outrageous take on TV news. The dysfunctional co-anchors often upstage their breaking stories, venting off-air
tidbits most viewers can identify with.
- Burbank Leader
Hayden Black could give David Letterman a run for his money. Goodnight Burbank is a
hybrid between Ricky Gervaise and John Stewart - and it's really, really funny.
