Stan must be stoked with the cast …
Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie said the following on fremantle.com:
To have an award-winning international superstar like Sean Penn join a superb cast that includes major Australian and Hollywood actors like Bryan Brown, Bella Heathcote, Fayssal Bazzi and Matthew Fox is a real coup. Helmed by the extraordinary Kick Gurry, C*A*U*G*H*T marks yet another blockbuster addition to our growing slate of locally produced, world-class Stan Originals – with the series promising to poke fun at celebrity culture, while exploring the often outrageous price of fame.

Executive Producer and actor Sean Penn, meanwhile, said:
Kick’s brand of irreverence is so charged by an enthusiasm for all things considered inappropriate. From ball-sacks, to fame, idiots & intellectuals, and finally to that creepy-crawly continuum of war. C*A*U*G*H*T* captures the comedy that is generally confined to fox holes.

I’m sure there’s no stylistic connection between the way C*A*U*G*H*T and M*A*S*H are written.
