Comedy Central blows. I think adult swim would be perfect for you guys.

1. you can still do the show as shorts
2. you can do ridiculous things
3. you'll be entertaining a demographic more suited to your work.

Plus, if you are on G4, they might night let you talk about the Dreamcast 2 because Olivia Munn is a meanie.

They can't because they wouldn't be able to show ten hours of COPS a day.

I can see it on MTV2. They'll take chances on new ideas; Wonder Showzen anyone?

I think Cartoon Network (Adult Swim) is a good place to take it as they've green lighted shows with at least somewhat similar styles to your comedy in the past. I don't know about MTV2 because I've never watched it as I hate most of the shit they put on MTV/VH1 lately. As for G4, I don't think they'll ever give up on Cops and Cheaters. :roll:

It's one of my guilty pleasure to watch an hour or two of Cops every month. My wife doesn't understand why I watch that crap.

It seems like a step backwards to go from the internet to television, but there is a lot of money and exposure to be had on television, so I understand.

I am very surprised to hear that Comedy Central didn't like Talking Classics. Personally, I think you are the funniest person on the planet. I watch all of your videos on Youtube and laugh so hard my face hurts. All of the crazy characters you come up with are genius.

One of the other networks is bound to accept, so just keep it up. Once you hit the mainstream and more people find out about you, I think you could become a huge hit. I cannot believe that your youtube videos aren't getting millions of views. You have so much talent and creativity, you seriously deserve to be making millions of dollars.

Best of luck to you and your future, Nathan. I'm not trying to kiss your ass here. I'm just a huge fan of everything you do.

:lol: Back when Cops was a fairly new thing I remember my dad would blast the theme to annoy the piss out of my mom and she would scream at him to shut that crap off. He did the same thing with the theme from the opening screen of the first Zelda game.

Thanks Inazuma!

G4 rarely takes new shows on. They rarely have people come in and pitch as far as I know. I'm pushing for Adult Swim which was my first pick for Keith's show. Comedy Central came first because they like me over there and I have a preexisting relationship with them. They producers I was working with wanted it to go forward but the head of the network wasnt into the script. From what I heard they dont really understand the video game world yet and arent ready for it. I think thats ignorant. Because everyone knows video games make money than food does.

I have a question Nathan. If you get picked up by a network, what will happen to your online videos? Will you still make Keithand your other character videos for the internet community to enjoy?

I just watched the "Keith Dreams of Dreamcast" video and I need to know something...

Where did you get that poster of movie Donatello in the straw hat? It's amazing.
