Slice N Deis was created for Brandeis Television by Arun Narayanan in the fall of 2007. Production was initially spearheaded by Arun Narayanan, Alex Gaman, Avi Swerdlow, and Ilan Amouyal. Later episodes were helmed by Arun Narayanan and Chris Lavery. Members of the class of 2010 made up most of the cast and crew.

Like most college memories, Slice N Deis began as an experiment. Nobody in the crew had any previous film or television experience, and everybody learned the ropes along the way. Production in every aspect improved drastically over the course of the series, and what began as a shaky, not-bad-for-BTV show in 2007 ended as a much-lauded hallmark of Brandeis student media in 2009. By the final semester, Slice N Deis had a production quality that matched the best of college television shows nationwide.

This is not to imply that Slice N Deis ever took itself very seriously. The shows unofficial production studio was named Autoderision Productions, every episodes introduction paid homage to a real sitcom, and self-referencing became a running joke throughout the series. And of course, nothing about the show itself was ever serious. Slice N Deis is at its heart a goofy, crass, comedy show about life at Brandeis University. We can only hope that it remains a prominent member of the Brandeis Television archive for years to come.
