Twits is the first sitcom to offer the audience a completely interactive experience. Viewers will be able to interact in real time with each other and with cast members about storyline, characters, plot twists and turns! And Tweets by the characters themselves… thought bubbles of the 21st century.

Comedian Matt Harper is looking for few good punch lines to prevent his career from receiving a knockout punch.

With his comedic repertoire running low, Harper needs a new source of inspiration; an innovative, comedic fountain of youth to keep his routine fresh and topical. The angst-ridden 28-year-old stand-up is riding the crest of cult stardom bolstered by a fan following of new media devotees of every ilk; a faceless but vociferously opinionated crowd who live out their lives in anonymity in the fast lane of the internet highway, social networking sites and the blogosphere. Harper’s fans follow him everywhere he goes via the social networking site, Twitter. Jimmy Buffett has his Parrotheads and Matt Harper has his Twits; loyal, diehard fans who can’t get enough of the offbeat comic. But now Harper will have to turn the Twitter table on his Twits and start following THEM around in an attempt to mine comedic gold from his fans’ everyday lives.

Harper’s plan is to take the strands of his Twits’ lives and weave them into a comedic mosaic; a patchwork of brilliant observational stand-up comedy using other people’s observations as his frame of reference. For Harper, it’s the best of all worlds – a voyeuristic peephole into the private personal and business lives of his Twits while allowing for personal detachment and objective observation. But the best laid plans of mice and stand-ups give way to a new age reality: We’re all but a keystroke away from each other’s most intimate secrets, living in a world where anonymity has become an antiquated, meaningless buzzword.

Harper soon finds himself drawn into the lives of each of his Twits. It’s a completely interactional world in which the line between observer and observed is not merely blurred but erased. Harper and his eclectic group of Twits find themselves inextricably bound up in each other’s daily routines encompassing family, relationships, workplace, school and much more.

Every decade one sitcom comes along that gets people talking. Get ready for the world’s first Twitcom.
