Cloudy with a chance of television
November 13th, 2005We “launched” our video project site, mrghost.net. Right now it’s home only to our failed pilot “The First Steps.” I have to move over all the MWTG files and create some sort of layout and main page. We haven’t even figured out what kind of logo to make, which should be a walk in the park considering how many retarded logos I make for other people.
We have around 3 months until the next 102 to figure out what exactly we want to pursue next. The First Steps near-miss, while not really surprising, was disappointing. We’ve been pretty bummed about it, as the only pilot that didn’t get picked up, but since we’ve never been cancelled or rejected we probably were due for something. I suppose being knee-capped at the start of a race is better than having your throat slit mid-stride.
We still don’t have our contract from Comedy Central. Our agent tells us we’re being piggy-backed on another contract that a big-wheel is negotating over there and whatever he gets, we get. Which, in the end, is better since he has more clout that we do; but it also molasseses up our process even more. It’ll be January before anything ever happens.
I’m bugging out lately with nothing to do during the day but watch my meager bank-balance decline daily. I can’t get a new full time job only to leave it a month later. I don’t have a lot of work to do… and it’s getting cold.

Hey Dyna,
‘The First Steps’ was great. I’ve been thinking for ages that there needs to be a Channel 101/2 show that goes beyond just trying to get the laughs, and it looked like that could have been it (although the opening was very funny)- I guess the audience didn’t agree. Which is a pity- I’d have loved to have seen the next episode.

Can’t you continue “The First Steps” on your own? I would love to see more…
