YouTube Spawns a TV Show

YouTube is a great site that can generally be used to see things that you missed on TV or long rambling self-indulgent videos of people talking about their meaningless pathetic lives... or something like that. "Nobody's Watching" is a show that was piloted for the WB and they passed over it - because they have such high standards. Somehow the pilot ended up on YouTube, where it became quite popular. Now NBC is jumping on the bandwagon and picking up the show - first in the form of webisodes then possibly in the form of an actual broadcast show. This marks the first time a show has gone from YouTube into real production, so that's pretty cool.

I've actually watched the entire pilot on YT (it's broken into three parts) and it's pretty good. When I was in college I'm sure that my friends and I would watch and talk about this show. I'm not sure it would do well on broadcast television - particularly a major network like NBC, but I could see it gathering a following on something like the WB (or the CW or whatever we're calling it these days). I guess we'll have to wait and see if this show goes anywhere.
