CANNES: Iconic comedies are what feature prominently in the Carsey-Werner International Television Distribution catalogue, and the company will be at MIPTV offering a selection of them in HD.

The classic hits Roseanne and The Cosby Show are now available with HD versions from the distributor, which also represents That 70s Show, among a number of other popular library shows.

“We’re fortunate to have series that continue to make their original viewers laugh and are also attracting new audiences,” says Alexandra Taylor, the company’s executive VP of international television distribution. “Remastering in HD is giving Carsey-Werner’s hit series The Cosby Show and Roseanne a new lease on life.”

Taylor also points out that format sales for Carsey-Werner’s sitcoms are increasing, with other countries putting their own local spin on these American classics.
