The Defective Agency
A TV comedy published by independent studio Upstream Stoodio, and available over the Magellan worldnets.
Rumours that this is in fact reality TV are denied by the Stoodio, who would certainly never announce the fact that they put a camera through a hole in the wall to next-door Talon Detective Agency.
Characters
('Names changed to protect the oblivious')
Dillard Heavy is the manager of the Talent Detecting Agency, although more often in recent seasons he seems to have little grip on current events. The catch-phrase "That bastard owes me money!" is spoken every time he introduces himself, and is often over-dubbed when there's no character around to say it.
Kararin S. Clodo is Dillard's apprentice, but often treats him as if she is the boss of the agency. Described on the series keynode as "A hot body with a hot temper", she is also the subject of many fanrendered solo spinoffs. Her middle name is apparently "Slutworthy", although none of the other characters are aware of this.
Rosemary Idle occasionally assists the team when they have problems. She is incredibly naïve and innocent.
Prepworthy Sloane is a neighbourhood sneak-thief who breaks into the agency offices frequently while the staff are out, always trying to find "all the monies" which he is sure are hidden somewhere in the room.
Max Blank is a neighbour who regularly pops in, and his technical expertise proves a great help to the team. His face is usually censored on the show, supporting some bizarre fan speculation about him being some kind of "Super-blank". Despite his often highly distinctive attire, Max has a large number of digitalist fans.
Ceilingtat is a cute mascot character, aparently a buddy tattoo which suffered a bizarre failure condition, and was transferred from its owner to a patch of mould on the Agency's office ceiling. Catch-phrase: "You can't ignore me, I was made on Deneb!" One of the strongest breakthroughs from the series to mainstream popular culture, several shops now sell simple Ceilingtat kits, although without a cellular structure to support them these tend to break down after 12 hours.
