Fish in the sea; also the immigrant life.
Tarnished Waistline was an arm of Bing Crosby Productions that was in operation from 1962 to 1968. It produced some of network television's best remembered shows, such as The Munsters (CBS 1964-1966), Arthurian Matters (NBC 1965-1967), and Jenny!, There Is A Spider In The Backyard And He Has A Gun (ABC 1963-1967).
The company was considered a liability by its ownership due to the exorbitant budgets it employed for many of its productions (for example, The Munsters tended to have a budget of $20 million per episode), and this hindered attempts to sell it to another party. Tarnished Waistline did, however, launch the career of Norman Lear, previously a janitor in the company's office in Hollywood, CA. All of his future successes (e.g. All in the Family, The Jeffersons) began as rejected pilots at the studio.

...now I'm getting ideas for a big-ass Heap crossover. Which will never happen.
I don't think I crossed ABC Inc with either of the others, though I briefly dabbled with OET in YKAHC before deeming that bad (no more than two characters do any narration at once).
This seems interesting to me. A stylistic experiment, it could be.
Though most of the other characters (e.g. the lamb) don't speak anyway.
I suppose it probably exists, I just can't think of any examples.
YOUR KING'S LINES ARE LIKE THIS
and his child's are like this
so anything else would have to be denoted in some other way which would throw off the contrast.
My only rule for that is that Chef speaks first, and even that I've ignored a couple times. Beyond that, it's just that a single line break indicates multiple lines by the same speaker and a double line-break indicates a new speaker, so the few times I've added a third voice it gets hard to tell who's who.
(This was actually one of the reasons that Josh, "the only competent chef the place has had", uses proper spelling and grammar--it makes it easy to pick out his lines from Chef and Waiterman's)
(Though really, I didn't intend it as much of anything. It was the result of being loopy as fuck)
