The Sarah Silverman Program.

Rob Schrab (co-creator) wanted to have a big, colorful, musical opening for The Sarah Silverman Program. In an effort to convince Comedy Central, he created this animated storyboard cut to a phone message Sarah left on Rob's answering machine.

The first pitch didn't quite stick with the powers that be so Rob Schrab took the next one a step further. He green-screened himself onto models while lip-syncing to the same phone message from the first pitch. It is unclear if this idea was abandoned due to the expense it would take to create this sequence or everyone being really embarrassed for Rob dressed up like an idiot.

This is an animatic of the chase sequence from the pilot, "Batteries." This was done before Jay Johnston, Paul F. Tompkins and Masi Oka were cast. Rob wanted to get a sense of timing before he shot this scene. Originally the script called for an "old school" police chase with Sarah and the cops chasing each other on hijacked wheelchairs. Due to time and money this was never shot.

Sarah gets arrested for drinking (cough syrup) and driving. After she is released from jail Sarah discovers the attraction between her sister Laura and the arresting officer. Meanwhile Brian tries to convince his partner Steve that he is bisexual.

Sarah invites a homeless man into her home to prove she is a caring person. Meanwhile Brian learns karate, but fails to use it in dire straits.

Sarah decides to take an AIDS test to cure her case of the blahs. Meanwhile Jay celebrates his birthday with a party.

Sarah discovers that the community group she joins is a radical anti-abortion group; a game of "Dungeons and Dragons" interferes with Steve and Brian's plans for a date night.

Authorities take Sarah's dog Doug away when she is witnessed licking his hindquarters. Distraught, Sarah goes on a quest to redeem herself.

Sarah strongly believes that it is much easier to be a black person in America than it is to be a Jewish person. To prove her point she decides to become black for a day. Meanwhile, Brian and Steve get carried away smoking medical marijuana.

In an attempt to get Sarah to “man up”, Laura falsely informs her that she was born with both a penis and a vagina. Brian and Steve are haunted by the ghost of Mr. Jenkins.

After Sarah's morning brunch at Romanski's is interrupted by a children's book reading, Sarah goes on a crusade of her own to show how easy it is to make children's books and television. Jay and his "anti-Sarah" support group, square off with Sarah on Real Time with Bill Maher. Laura informs Brian and Steve that their balls have an unpleasant odor.

Sarah sues "Home Alone", the movie, for influencing her to accidentally murder her new neighbor. Her eloquent case about the dangerous influence of entertainment leads her to the position of official censor of Valley Village television. Brian seeks revenge on a bird who repeatedly poos on his head.
