Upright Citizens Brigade

Upright Citizens Brigade is an American sketch comedy series created by Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. It is loosely based on the improv troupe of the same name.
==Show Description==
* The show revolves around the eponymous Upright Citizens Brigade—Antoine, Colby, Trotter, and Adair—and their attempts to disrupt the status quo. Most of the show's sketches involve the group monitoring society and spreading chaos. In any given episode, the sketches are often linked by a single subject—typically, something that has to do with the episode title.

==Airing History==
While Upright Citizens Brigade aired all the way into the early 2010s, it had a very inconsistent airing schedule in its later years.When the show first started airing, it would air at least twice a week: a premiere on one day, with an encore of the premiere on another. Even though the premieres were sometimes substituted for reruns, this practice nevertheless continued well into the third season. Once Comedy Central fully rolled out their "Summer with a Twist" branding, however, the show was relegated to a single timeslot: Fridays at 1:30amThe earliest instance of such a timeslot happened on June 24, 2000.. The show later got pushed back to 2:30am on October 14, 2000, then disappeared from Comedy Central's airwaves altogether in December 2000, early into the Metro rebrand. It would not be until early 2004 that Upright Citizens Brigade would return to the air, coincidentally coming back right as Comedy Central was going through another rebrand.
Amidst Comedy Central's Remixed/Urban rebrands, the show returned to the schedule with a mini-marathon during the early morning hours of January 20, 2004South Florida Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). It then started airing on a much more regular basis by the week of May 9, 2004 in the form of weekday afternoon slots, though what day the show aired on fluctuated from week to week; sometimes, the show was completely absent from a given week. The schedule ultimately proved inconsistent, and the show disappeared from the regular schedule yet again by late 2005. Outside of a couple more mini-marathons in July and September 2007The Boston Globe (Boston, Massachusetts), the show proper would not appear on Comedy Central for a long timeA special titled Upright Citizens Brigade: Asssscat! aired on March 22, 2008..
In early 2010, Comedy Central launched their "Super Late Funtime" late night programming block. Having featured rarely-aired shows like Stella and Chocolate News, it seemed inevitable that Upright Citizens Brigade would be given another chance. True enough, the show made its first appearance on the block on April 29, 2010. The show remained on the block until at least February 4, 2011. Later in 2011, the block was discontinued, taking Upright Citizens Brigade with it. Poetically, the show disappeared in the same early morning hours as it had done so 10 years before.
