They’re here! Comedy Central’s much anticipated Delco Proper episodes are here! It’s been a long wait since the network debuted the pilot episode last summer, and now the creators, Philadelphia based comics John McKeever, Tommy Pope, and Tim Butterly, have released the three-episode first season.

Delco (short for Delaware County) gives viewers a look at Philly and it’s residents in a way that hasn’t been portrayed in TV or Film before. It depicts a more realistic view of the blue collar workers in Philly. However, the comedians explain, though the series is inspired by the people and town of Delaware County, the show takes place in a world of it’s own, much like Springfield in the Simpsons.

Though the comedians had a bigger budget to work with for the series, they also had grander scenes to shoot. Two of the episodes take place at the lumber yard where the characters Tommy and John work. After carefully calculating the new budget the creators devised a risky plan to shoot three episodes (each 9 pages, running time about 6 minutes) in three days. Impressively, the plan went off without a hitch, and the creators attribute their success to their crackerjack team and crew. Most of the crew and team members have been working with the comedians for years, which helped make the production run smoothly.

The Delco guys also rave about the support they received from Comedy Central while creating the series, saying the network allowed a lot of freedom, and the notes they did give were spot on, and aligned with the vision of the creators.

So now that the series is launched, what next for the comedians? They report they’re working on other projects, as well as auditioning and continuing to do stand up. But they admit Delco Proper is their baby, they’re excited to hear the feedback and see what the next steps are.
