Contents

[edit] Structure

The World Of Golden Eggs is a collection of non-linear sketches, set in the American-style, fictional town of Turkey's Hill. Each episode is about 15 minutes in length and is broken down into the "main story" as broadcast by the town's fictional TV station, "THBC"(Turkey's Hill Broad Casting) and broken up by fictitious adverts and concluded with an English lesson based on content from the episode's main story line. The main story is usually subtitled in English. The subtitles try to reflect the tone of the dialogue which can lead to strange or grammatically incorrect subtitles due to its comedic nature and the use of non-conventional Japanese.

Each story is loosely linked to a main story, but is presented from the different perspectives of the vast cast of characters.

The show has a musical influence, with many of the characters involved in music in some way. Some of the music from the show has even appeared on MTV and has been the basis for the video games based on the show.

[edit] Broadcast

It has been broadcast on CS Kids Station, MUSIC ON!TV, MTV Japan. It was also streamed online through BIGLOBE. Other broadcasters include: tvk, TOKYO MX, KBS Kyoto, USEN Internet Programs and GyaO. In February 2006, "Larry", one of the voicecast members, launched a podcast on iTunes entitled "Larry's Show".

Following the broadcast in 2005, Season 1 was released in 2006 on DVD. Season 2 was broadcast in 2006 and was released in 2007 on DVD.
