Summary

Spike TV's Factory is an improvised send-up of blue collar America in the vein of "The Office" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Spike's first original comedy Factory follows the day-to-day lives of four disinterested small town factory workers as they spend their time fraternizing in lieu of doing their drab work. Factory is set to debut on Spike on Sunday, January 29, 2008 at 10pm. The program’s companion podcast, "Factory’s Guide to… Podcast", is available for subscription at www.wizzard.tv/factory.

Character Summary

Gary – The unspoken leader and ladies' man of the group, Gary has been putting in long days at the factory for years, lately just to get away from his bi-polar wife. He epitomizes the classic slacker-underachiever whose wit far outweighs his motivation.

Smitty – Smitty is the sarcastic one of the group, and he fancies himself an intellectual. He currently lives in the same house as his ex-wife, but a glimmer of hope has shined on him in the form of his ex-wife's step-father's sister's daughter (no relation).

Gus – Gus is currently working up the courage to propose to his live-in girlfriend of 11 years. A big teddy bear of a guy, Gus occasionally manipulates his friends to get what he wants.

Chase – Chase is a naïve 12-year-old in the body of a 35-year-old linebacker, in desperate need of a girlfriend. His naiveté makes him the butt of many jokes, but his friends are always encouraging him to meet women, especially if it means they have the chance to live through him vicariously.
