I’m still watching the debate but forgot to post my online video pick for earlier tonight – but its not actually online. quarterlife, the drama originally created for the web has finally made its TV debut tonight on NBC at 10pm.
So catch it on your DVR if you remembered to set it, or catch full episodes on NBC.com, and clips on MySpaceTV, and on hulu. Hats off to Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick for proving that (writer’s strike aside) good content will be found, and great content will find its way to mainstream media.
NBC picked up quarterlife – originally rejected by ABC – back in November. It will certainly be interesting to see the growth in audiences of the full episodes on TV and NBC.com (and possibly hulu) vs. the original 8-minute clips on MySpaceTV.
Remember…
Herskovitz and Zwick have tailored “Quarterlife” for the Web, blending the personal relationship stories they did best in programs like the high-school drama “My So-Called Life” with a saga centered on Dylan, a blogger, and her best friends.
Will the “real” fans, who’ve been watching on the web for months, take to the long form version? Or will they be turned off by the network’s censors? Again remember..
Herskovitz said “Quarterlife” will be free of constraints on language and other risky content TV networks often censor.
Anyone taking odds?
