Well Comedy Central passed on Talking Classics

Post by NathanBarnatt »

Thought I'd let you guys know. We wrote a script for them and they decided not to go to pilot. We're taking it other networks now. Bummer!!!

FYP.

But yeah, that's pretty disappointing news. I'm sorry to hear it, and I hope new opportunities open up soon!

That's a shame. I would have watched it religiously. I still will if it's on another network though, so best of luck with the other networks!

Sorry to hear that Nathan, I've showed you videos to at least a dozen people and everyone agrees your comedy is brilliant.

Sucks for Comedy Central, they missed out on something good.

Mind sharing what networks you're going for? Maybe OWN? :lol:
