Daily Finals Timewaster #5
Hey, It’s Darren, how are you? Good? Good. You should probably stop working. Here’s why! Your (in no way) Daily Finals Timewaster #5 is way more interesting! Check it out: Channel 102
Here’s what Channel 102 says about Channel 102:
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?
In essence, the result is a website with a ton of really great running web shows. Here’s a personal favorite of mine:
Mr. Glasses features top-notch comedy writers and performers from UCB Theatre in New York City, including Mitch Magee, John Gemberling, and Curtis Gwinn.
