The Ratings Are In
It's Friday and about time I made another blog, wouldn't you say guys?
I still haven't gotten used to the fact that the show is back on the air again. I guess sometimes you can spend so much time working towards something that when you actually get there, you're not always sure what to do now that you're there.
In my case, I'm back on TV again and looking forward to airing some of the new shows we have been working on. There are a couple old clips in tonight's episode, but most of the footage is new and has never been aired before. Over the next few weeks, the show will continue to evolve into the kind of show I want to have this fall on the network.
Last week was a pretty good start from what I'm hearing. Airing at the same time as all the big boys on Friday nights is definitely a bit of a concern, because it's also a change of timeslot for me, but we did way better than Jimmy Kimmel, The Late Show with David Letterman and South Park with females 18+ according to the Nielsen Ratings. With males 18+ we held our own and last week was the show's first week back on the air.
It's great to have such cool fans that are willing to take the time to email people and spread the word about the show being back on the air. Without any promotion for the show on the network, I guess all I have is you guys, so keep it up everyone. If I can get on a bit of a roll here and pull some okay ratings over the summer, I'm sure I'll get my shot at that network deal this fall.
This afternoon, I think we are going to head out and shoot some footage with another new character that I want to try out this summer. Branden spent a little bit of time working on the costume for me and I think it turned out pretty good.

Who said that making a comedy show isn't any fun? Oh ya, that was me who said that! Well, it's good to have a few laughs again and be able to relax a little bit and have some fun. Shooting video and goofing off used to always be so much fun. It's nice that it's starting to feel like that again!
Have a great weekend everyone, I'll keep working away here, maybe head out tonight to sit on a patio somewhere and be checking out the message board to see what people are saying these days. On Sunday night, I'll be home watching Entourage, which has definitely become my favourite new show on television.
Bu bye,
JR
