Online Comedy... Nobody's Watching


From wikipedia:-
Nobody's Watching is a television program that was never aired. It originated with and was written by Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, as well as Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan, writers for Scrubs and Family Guy.

The pilot was developed for the WB Television Network, but network executives passed on the show for the 2005 schedule after test audiences seemed to be confused by its premise. However, in June 2006, the pilot was leaked onto YouTube, and quickly attracted attention from viewers around the world. On July 3, a report in the New York Times suggested that the show could yet make it to a full series, thanks to the positive response from YouTube viewers. During the Friday, July 21, 2006 airing of Last Call with Carson Daly, guests Neil Goldman, Taran Killam, and Paul Campbell called NBC president Kevin Reilly on air, who seemed to confirm a pickup for the series. He later recanted, but a deal was struck to produce webisodes. Webisodes of varying length were released consistently until January 12, 2007.

I loved loved loved this series. There used to be a forum at www.nobodyswatching.tv but it seems to be defunct now. It's a shame because a really great community formed up around the show, the first internet community I had the honor of being a part of in fact. I got to speak to both Paul and Taran many times through the forum as well as by calling their phone (yes, they really did answer Will's phone). Ironically enough, I ended up meeting Taran in person much later when I was the head tech at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles...he was performing in a show there. It was like meeting one of my heroes and he was the sweetest person and we ended up becoming friends because of it. I can't say enough good things about this series and the way they handled community during it's run.
