Now, you know what it takes to be a famous comedian...
Besides having to be funny, you need to go to every
comedy club in America. You need to build an audience.
Then you gotta open up for bands at concerts...get
paying gigs, and newspaper publicity...it just too much
and it takes toooo long!
But with a simple digital cam,
upload it to the world
and you got a big audience without
leaving the comfort of your home
or having to travel all over the U.S.
Who knows better what your style of comedy is
when you can cast your own type in your own
TV show.
All you need is to do is create the first
show and give it for free to everyone...
but make sure it has a hook...
you know, a reason why they need to see
all the following shows...
who is next weeks guest?
who is getting fired next week?
who is getting evicted?
Who is going to voted the most?
Who is....?
Then, once they are hooked, they'll pay
to see your show everyweek.
It's just like getting Stars hooked.
You give them a free taste of your
heroin drugs, and then once they are hooked
(become addicted),
you charge them for it a arm and a leg!
Best of all you don't have to answer to any
tv netwoks or studios! You don't even have to
put credits at the end!
You don't even need an agent or manager!
All you need is to go out this weekend
and buy, borrow, rent or steal a camera.
Without that camera, you don't have a show.

Here are some examples to go by:

on your show.

MICHAEL
Yeah -- well I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
(then, after Tom hands Michael a set of contracts)
See, Johnny -- see we figure that entertainment downloads will be a big factor in drawing TV viewers to
the our show. And, we hope you'll sign a contract to appear five times a year.
(then)
Perhaps uh -- convince some of your friends in the movies to do the same. We're counting
on you...
JOHNNY
Sure, Mike. I'll do anything for my Godfather -- you know that.

that was used to make TV shows five years ago
Do you know why it's cheaper today? Because, *God* wants You
to Start Your Own TV Show! So he figured, "I'll lower the prices
and I'll give them the Internet so that they can distribute it."
So if you always wanted to Star in a sitcom or your own Johnny Carson show,
or any type of television show, then Now is the time!
I only pointed out *one* channel of distribution to get you started. There
are other channels on the Internet, plus other Internet companies seeking
"content" for their Internet companies....
Don't be surprised if the networks start calling you up wanting to buy your TV show!

on your computer or laptop. Add
a laugh track..

(make sure the lighting in your living room
is TV quality) (you might need to buy some lighting)
and upload it to all torrent sites.
If you're a comedian,
no offense, but some yous are gonna
need this also:
http://www.grsites.com/sounds/comic001.shtml
(besides, some people don't know when to laugh!)
Do your own HBO standup or sitcom
and upload it.
If you're a screenwriter,
you don't need to try and sell your screenplays.
Just produce your television script in your
own living room. Actors are plentiful.
If you wanna just direct or produce a
television show, get a cam, shoot and
upload. Setup your own studio soundstage
television production set in some old warehouse.
Everyone, just create a webpage
where visitors can pay and download your
new episode every week.
Let them use
http://www.bittorrent.com/
which is free and legal.
With your individual creative talent,
you shouldn't have trouble making
a hundred million dollars.
All perfectly legal.

How To Start Your Own TV Show...
but first some info....

UK net users leading TV downloads
Desperate Housewives is one of the shows UK viewers cannot wait for
British TV viewers lead the trend of illegally downloading US shows from the net, according to research.
New episodes of 24, Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under, appear on the web hours after they are shown in the US, said a report.
Web tracking company Envisional said 18% of downloaders were from within the UK and that downloads of TV programmes had increased by 150% in the last year.
About 70% were using file-sharing program BitTorrent, the firm said.
"It's now as easy to download a pirate TV show as it is to programme a VCR," said Ben Coppin from Envisional.
A typical episode of 24 was downloaded by about 100,000 people globally, said the report, and an estimated 20,000 of those were from within the UK.
Faster and easier
Australians were the second biggest downloading culprits, with almost 16% of shows being downloaded there.
Downloads from within the US accounted for about 7%, according to the report.
Fans of many popular US TV programmes, like 24, usually have to wait weeks or months until the latest series is shown in the UK.
But in some cases, said the report, people were able to watch the new episodes in Britain before US audiences on the west coast of the country.
Britons have access to much faster broadband speeds
"Missing a television show presents little problem to anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet," explained Mr Coppin.
"Two clicks and your favourite programme is downloading. In effect, the internet is now a global video recorder."
Exact figures are difficult to pin down, but it is thought that about 80,000 to 100,000 people in the UK download TV programmes.
Some may just want the odd episode, others are downloading regularly.
Many broadcast analysts agree that the net is radically altering the way people get content, like TV programmes.
TOP 10 TV DOWNLOADS

10. Lost

This presents a challenge to broadcasters who are concerned that channel schedules may become less important to people.
It is also of concern to them because advertisements are usually cut out of the downloaded programmes.
The industry has coined the term "time-shifting" to describe this trend of being able to watch what you want, when you want.
The increased popularity of personal digital video recorders, TiVo-type boxes which automatically record programmes like Sky+, have also contributed to the trend.
There are also numerous programs available on the net which automatically search and store TV programmes for viewers, effectively creating a personal video recorder on a computer.
Legal downloads?
Within half an hour, recorded episodes can be uploaded - or posted - onto file-sharing networks or other download sites.
Because they tend to be shorter then full-length films, they can be processed - digitised - quickly.
More people with high-speed broadband connections in the UK also means that episodes can be downloaded quickly.
Broadband
According to Jupiter Research 40% of homes with broadband say it helps them pick and choose the programmes they want to see or that friends have recommended.
The Envisional reports said that the TV industry should consider offering a legal way to download shows.
The BBC ran a trial of what it calls the Interactive Media Player (iMP) last year, which was based on a peer-to-peer distribution model.
It let people download programmes it held the rights to up to eight days after they had already aired. It is looking to do a more expansive trial later this year.
The BBC already allows radio fans to hear programmes they missed online up to a week after broadcast.
About six million people in the UK now have a fast, always-on net connection via cable or phone lines.
