Excerpt:
\\u201cLily Loquacious\\u201d and \\u201cCalling All Ships\\u201d were both filmed in the same giant building that housed the famed Stage 34. In fact, they were the reason that Stage 34 was famed. The building actually housed five stages, all originally occupied by the \\u201cLily Loquacious Variety Hour,\\u201d brought over from radio, which later became \\u201cLily Loquacious Lives,\\u201d and finally just \\u201cLily Loquacious.\\u201d The show started as a sketch comedy, where Lily Loquacious was a returning favorite character played by the inimitable Lily McKay. When it was clear audiences wanted more of Lily Loquacious, the studio obliged by building a show around her.

\\u201cCalling All Ships\\u201d was a space saga about a ship ironically named the Valorous because it and its crew fled from a critical battle during the last war that their people and allies fought against a mysterious long-time enemy.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A group of people at a party, all facing forward and seen from their upper halves. Upper left corner, a banner extends at an angle up from bottom left. It reads \\u201cHappy Solstice,\\u201d but the letters \\u201cH,\\u201d \\u201cC,\\u201d and \\u201cE\\u201d are only partially visible. The party-goers from left to right are a man in background holding a full champagne glass in his right hand, a woman in foreground holding up a full champagne glass as if in a toast, a humanoid with bulbous head and three fingers in background holding a champagne glass in the left hand, and another humanoid with pointed ears holding a bowl of snacks. Beside the woman in the foreground, the top half of another person\\u2019s head is seen, wearing a helmet, and looking at the woman. Behind the woman there extend several tentacles that curl around and in front of the others. The image is in color at center, and is repeated in grayscale at top and bottom to make the entire shape a square.
