Do not fill this in!==Behind The Scenes== Craig's show, Close-Up Animals with a Wide-Angle Lens, consists of live-action images of dogs and cats mugging for the camera. At one point South Park's writing staff was so depleted of concepts that Matt and Trey toyed with the notion of showing animal close-ups for 22 minutes and calling it a day. ===Where Did The Idea Come From=== After returning, exhausted, from working on Team America: World Police, the creative team reached deep inside themselves and somehow produced three new episodes. This, their fourth, marks the moment when the wheels finally came off. After sitting for hours, staring at each other, the writing staff decided to have the kids be news reporters. This episode's long, fruitless idea meetings are painfully autobiographical. In fact, the "Idea Room" in this episode is modeled after South Park's writer's room.
