On the whole, I like it. But I’m a little worried that the “cancelled this month” space will, because of its varying length, create holes and overruns that lead to a jarring lack of rectangularness. Also, the color conformity is nice. But the particular shades of purple could use a little more plum and a little less lavender.

Gray box “space holders” will be used if the “cancelled” tally is short (like 0), but it can be as many as 6, theoretically, which will just be added below, making for more scrolling. We might create an alternate graphic to fill space if it’s 0-1 that would link to a different part of the site (or just a “see all cancelled” thumbnail). Top Failed and Archives will always be 1, so they’re set. Prime time can be 5 or 6, the 6th slot will be a spaceholder most months.
Purple is not the final color. It too is a spaceholder. Mitch is arguing for blue and green, but color scheme may also change from month-to-month.

I like that! Fun and user-friendly-lookin’. The 3D style logos make me think of VH1 shows where the little logos in the corner shoot out at the viewer occasionally. I enjoy those little VH1 logos. They make the shows seem like “I am watching this on the internet.”

Looks great, Dyna. Seriously, seriously great.
The only thing I would tweak is where it says “SCREENING: NOVEMBER 06, 2006”, make sure it says “LAST SCREENING:” just to be clear. (But I’m sure you’ve already thought of this.)
