At present Is or Isn't Entertainment is currently in production on a documentary series for NBC called "Who Do You Think You Are," which traces the genealogy of a well-known person in each episode and is due to premiere next spring.

Is or Isn't also produces the webseries "Web Therapy," in which Lisa stars. The series, which is about a therapist who does sessions with her clients via the Internet, can be found at www.hulu.com and at www.lstudio.com.
