The untold story was told once too many times this weekend....
Hey guys,
Thanks for the emails about Friday nights show.I have no idea why DOGBOY "the untold story" aired nationally again for the second week in a row but obviously the wrong episode got put on the air and I'll try finding out what happened first thing Monday morning so I can make sure the right episodes air next weekend.That really sucks and I appreciate you guys letting me know about the screw up.
I've always thought feedback from fans and people who have seen my show was an important part of this entire process for me. Not just because you guys email me to let me know a scheduled episode didn't end up airing,but because emails and feedback about the show also let me know if I'm even on the right track or not with the show. When you change directions the way I have with this new series,getting your emails actually becomes an important part of the process. Staying on the air somehow over the years has been a part of that process but it's only been half the battle. What's it done is allowed me to hang in there and fight the other half of this battle for sure, and that's the tough half!
All this time on the air has allowed me to experiment and try a few different things with the direction of the show which is cool.You never know what might work I guess but at the end of the day,viewers and fans of the show are the ones who determine what does and what doesn't!
After over four years of trying to figure all this out,one thing I know for sure is that you have to stick to what you believe in.You have to be relentless and passionate about what you are doing and eventually if you are lucky,you will come up with something original and interesting and that's what it all boils down to.You have to do something original or at least it has to be perceived that it is.
I recently got this email from Drew.... Subject: want to do short film.
Message: I'm watching your show right now and I think where your taking it is great! it was awesome before, but letting others do some insane things like this dogboy stuff is even better! your on to something, and doing something original! amazing. I live in Ottawa I and I'm sure I could come up with something just as crazy or crazier then that.
Either get me to do the next film or get those guys back, anyway very creative. Big fan since the beginning. Eat shit haha best ending ever.
....It's great to hear from people who have been fans of the show for a few years and still seem pumped about what I'm doing or at least am trying to do with this new series.It might take a little time and I know that I might lose some of my old fan base who still just want to see me doing all that Jack Ass,Tom Green shit but that's the stuff my friends and I were doing a million years ago now.Hell the boys from Jack Ass were doing that stuff a million years ago as well but it just wasn't on TV then,it was only on skate videos! Yep,it's time to move on guys!
I hope there are more of you out there like Drew who liked what I was doing before but are even more interested in what I'm doing now. There are tons of new idea's I have that I look forward to shaping into something.Producing these short films and looking for talented and aspiring film makers to work with is a gas! It's going to be a lot of fun creating this new series but in the end,it will be you guys who decide if it's original and entertaining enough to keep watching.
Do any of you guys ever watch the show on MenTV Sunday nights at 9:30pm.It's a pretty sweet timeslot but I don't know of that many people who even get that digital channel.Just curious.
Moving on to more important matters....I'm addicted to ping pong! Stay tuned for more details in my next blog!
