Thirteen episodes were shot and the program garnered critical acclaim, but one episode, "Miss Janie Regrets", was not aired due to controversy over a PBS-like children's show parody. Banks' show has attained a kind of cult status despite its short run on PBS. In one episode, Penn Jillette sang and played guitar, Teller on the keyboard, joining Steven Banks. The song was "I wear the clothes of the dead", the setup for which was Penn wearing suits bought at estate sales. Home Entertainment Center is the story of a pop culture addicted Dilbert. A young man rapidly growing older who is desperately hanging on to his teen dreams that he’d actually someday become a rock star.
He lives in a dingy one room flat decorated with a couch, a drum set, tons of Rock and Roll posters and enough crappy action figures to entertain thirteen nursery schools. He also has a refrigerator full of Jolt Cola (does anybody remember Jolt Cola?). Oh don’t worry he won’t starve, because he’s got three cabinets full of instant Toll House Cookie mix to keep him nourished.

My daughters and I watched it when they were kids and still to this day recite lines from it. I’ll see if that website is still valid. I hope so as it will make a great present for myself and my girls. In 2009, he collaborated with the dance company Pilobolus co-creating a full-evening piece, Shadowland, currently touring internationally.
The Showtime special led to a short lived but an equally brilliant PBS series that was essentially a show just as much about nothing as Seinfeld ever was.

SpongeBob producer Eric Coleman, called Banks to tell him he was being considered by executive producers Stephen Hillenburg and Paul Tibbitt to become a writer on the show. Banks was already a huge fan of the show and described the hiring process as being interviewed by Paul Tibbitt for about five minutes.
Shipping and handling
In April 2021, Banks served as a head writer on the animated streaming series Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten writing all 26 episodes. Showtime aired the pilot for Banks' show but never ran any other episodes. In 1994, PBS took an interest in his act. They filmed and aired The Steven Banks Show that summer – the first original sitcom ever produced and run by PBS. Brandon Tartikoff produced the show, filmed at WYES in New Orleans. A CD album for the show was also released, consisting of original songs written and performed by Banks.
Home Entertainment Center is nothing less than one of the most amazing one man variety shows of all time. Besides being hysterically funny Banks in the course of an hour sings and plays banjo, flute, bass, drums, harmonica, and both electric and acoustic guitar. He’s not an impersonator, but that doesn’t stop him from doing brief tributes to Elvis, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Van Morrison.
As of 2017, Banks is developing an adult animated action/comedy project for Sony Animation and Netflix about a very famous rock and roll star who faked his own death in 1977 and became a secret agent. In 1989, Home Entertainment Center achieved national fame when it was filmed and aired on Showtime; the filming was done at the Marines' Memorial Theater. The show featured original songs written and performed by Banks. On May 14, 1989, he appeared on the Dr. Demento radio program (that year's Mother's Day Special) and performed a number of his songs live on-air. Will usually ship within 2 business days of receiving cleared payment.
In late 2004, he became a story editor and then head writer for SpongeBob SquarePants for seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2008 for the SpongeBob episode he wrote, "The Two Faces of Squidward." Essentially, he’s every single one of us, except for the fact that he really is magnificently funny and musically gifted. Unfortunately, he’s not a rock star and the rest of the world is finding his day dreaming less and less cute. In 2004, he wrote for Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, an animated series from the Cartoon Network about the adventures of real-life J-pop music stars Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura.
In 1998, Banks began writing for Nickelodeon's animated series CatDog. He continued working for Nickelodeon, penning several SpongeBob books .
