Youtube for the embed, more goodness on (
http://www.channel102.net) Channel 102
Quote:
Every month, five-minute TV shows are screened for a live audience in New York City. The audience votes to renew some shows and cancel others.
The top five shows become the new "prime time" lineup; losing shows are banished forever.
The next month, prime time shows return with new episodes, pitted against each other and a crop of fresh new pilots.
At Channel 102, your entertainment destiny is in your hands. If you like a show, nurture it with your votes and it will bloom into a series. If you don't like a show, it goes away. Wouldn't it be great if "real" television worked this way?
What a novel idea. The films all seem to be made by either film students or small production companies, so the quality is at least a notch above Youtube home movies. Make sure to the check the cancelled section; some of the best shows are there.

Hahaha, I haven't watched any yet but what the hell is the point if the cancelled thus far already contains some of the best? Democracy sucks as much as dictatorship, in everything it seems.

Usually it just means the directors got tired of making the films. Either that, or near the end of their run the audience stopped voting for them.

Isn't this the way "real" television works anyway? People watch something or they don't. The stuff that gets watched gets the big advertising $$$$. The ones that don't get watched get cancelled. Quality has very little to do with it. Why else does great TV like "Firefly" get cancelled while shit like "Fear Factor" gets renewed season after season?

Personally, I thought Firefly was highly overrated, the sort of thing rabid Star Trek fans would go all gooey about.

Quoted for truth. It was excruciating.

uh, puppet rapist?
in case you weren't paying attention, it's about a guy who rapes puppets, then, for his probation is assigned a job in a restaraunt staffed mainly by puppets.
but that fun surprise could've been all the more surprising had anyone watched the video in the first place instead of complaining about the voting system.
NICE JOB FINDING LINKS AJA< YOUR EALLY ARE "INTERNET SLEUTH":cool:
