I’ve started this site to chronicle my process of researching and writing a book about the 1968-1986 television series Beyond Our Control, which was a TV parody sketch comedy show produced in South Bend, Indiana, almost entirely by high school kids as a Junior Achievement company and which aired on the local NBC affiliate, WNDU-TV. If you don’t know what this show is, the Wikipedia page is the best place to catch up quickly, or you can check out the BOC alumni association website or watch sketches on YouTube here, here, and here. I plan to showcase materials from all of these sources as I go, which will hopefully engage fans of the show and also help me work through ideas along the way. I encourage anyone who has thoughts or memories (or – the ultimate dream – intact pre-1978 episodes) to share to get in touch. I want to know everything, so no query or memory is too small!
