[edit] Creation
The series was created and written by John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn, and is based on their series of shorts entitled Gemberling that was a part of Channel 102. Of all the shows in Channel 102's original prime time lineup, Gemberling lasted the longest -- a full eight episodes, the final one weighing in at over 17 minutes as a self-cancelling epilogue to the adventure series.
On May 30, 2008, Gemberling and Gwinn premiered Fat Guy Stuck in Internet before scores of people at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in New York City. There, Gwinn compared the show to the likes of The Wire and the final episode of St. Elsewhere.
