Thinning the Herd is an improv show based around a (real-life) team-based weight-loss competition.
Summary
The cast of the show is divided into three teams.
Before each show, each team participates in a blind weigh-in -- during the show, the weights are revealed.
The team that loses the largest percentage of weight during the previous two weeks gains control of the show's "Video Challenge".
Each show features the video challenge(s) from the previous week and an improvised set from each team.
For each of its runs, the show has run every other Sunday at 6pm.
