Before I begin, I would like to stress once again that I am not and never was the creator of TKO - TKO was and always has been the creation of MrsPepper; the concept and premise is all hers, I merely helped adapt it into a series format, but all credit for creation goes to MrsPepper, not me.
Okay, so ten years ago in the summer of 2005, a new kind of comedy series emerged among the MC Forum community. Okay, so MopFam came out months before that, but afterwards, another comedy series emerged: a comedy series that centered on the lives of an organization of internet junkies who often find themselves responsible for the "death" of forum threads. These people were known as Thread Killers, and their organization was the Thread Killers Organization . . . or, simply put, TKO.
The series focused on the off-beat unit in the organization, the 3976th 1/2, commanded by no-nonsense, level-headed, yet easily flustered unit C.E.O., MrsPepper, the first woman to run a TKO unit. The 3976th 1/2 consisted of a colorful cast of ragtag thread killers, such as the unit's Chief Thread Killer, Vic Romano; the unit's slacker C.F.O., D'Snowth, and the ever beloved despite being underappreciated and underpaid custodian, Beauregard; in addition to other characters that have come and gone over the course of the series.
Produced by the former Thundercloud Studios (their studios in Toronto, not their headquartered studios in Puerto Rico), the series lasted for four years and 52 episodes, and proved to be a hit with MCers. Now, on the tenth anniversary, we're happy to bring to you "The Summer of TKO": every Saturday all summer long, relive some of your favorite moments from this classic and enduring original MC sitcom. Don't miss it!
