Yeah my brother and I are in a way sort of OK with them passing because the notes they gave us we didnt really agree with. And based on all the other shows that they green light we're not a good match for them. Our style is different so the show would be tweaked in ways we dont agree with.

We're going to Cartoon Network (adult swim), Spike and MTV. I feel like Adult Swim is right up our alley. Thanks for the support guys. I wont stop till Keith is the poster boy of video games!

Hm. You heard wrong.

Anyway, sorry to hear about that Nathan. Don't give up though! You'll find a network!

I didn't know your situation, so I didn't want to say something like this, but that was my initial thought. I don't think that Comedy Central would have been a good fit for Talking Classics in anything close to its current form, and I think the other networks you mentioned are better candidates. Good luck!
