And that’s why this should be so cool…because fellow citizen/consumers will be playing a role as to what gets shown…not just industry execs who may have tunnel vision. A lot of TV shows are very similar. Makes me wonder what we could have seen.

The “host” is played by Liz Cackowski, a former Saturday Night Live writer and the “star” on the pilot episode is SNL cast member Bill Hader. So they have some industry clout. Whether or not it was an indie project at first or has Marie Digby-type backing, I’m not sure.

It was a YouTube editor’s choice, but how those deci$ions are made, I don’t know.

Any idea as to how the Jeannie Tate show can into being? Did she start if up on her own and someone from Warner Brothers took notice? Or did she have an established inside track?

Point is that the DOES open opportunites for “amateurs”, but I’m wondering if we’ll see an onrush of would be types rush foward with a lot of crap as well.

It surely helps to have a studio behind you. Hell, ask Marie Digby.

The great thing about the internet is that people with talent, who don’t have a ton of money – can still make quality productions. They don’t have to move to L.A. They don’t need to get signed to a major label.

Just produce it yourself and see where it goes!!!
