Tracey Takes On...

Common card · No. 367652

Tracey Takes On... is an American sketch comedy series starring Tracey Ullman. The show ran for four seasons on HBO and was commissioned following the success of the 1993 comedy special Tracey Ullman Takes on New York. Each episode focuses on a specific subject which Ullman and her cast of characters take on through a series of sketches and monologues. Unlike her previous Fox show, Tracey Takes On... was filmed using a single-camera setup on location without a studio audience. The show also features a steady rotation of nearly twenty characters—unlike The Tracey Ullman Show, which featured upwards of one hundred, the majority of whom appeared only once. In 1998, a book based on the series, Tracey Takes On, was released. The character Ruby Romaine was spun off into the HBO television special Tracey Ullman in the Trailer Tales in 2003.
