I think this is a fan-freaking-tastic idea. A danger I see (one of many) is that one of the ways people won't watch is if they put you on at the crack of dawn and shove 50,000 commercials into your show. This is the VERY thing I'm talking about. Not a TOTAL lack of quality programming, but moreso the lack of diversity in programming. If they put YOUR show on, something is either gonna have to get bumped or dropped. From a business standpoint it's easier (and cheaper) to just throw some videos on than to pay you what your work is worth. Not only that but you would need to be careful to not "sell your soul" like the comedians did/do. What if they bought say 13 episodes of your show and then ran them forever without you getting residuals? That would suck right? I'm sure you're smarter than that, but some folks wanna "get on" so bad that they'll agree to damn near anything. Ask Bro. Macgruder (OkayPlayer FreeHuey) why there's no Boondocks cartoon on BET. I'm sure he could throw a little light on this.

You knwo what my brother, you really have no idea how much I DO know about it. It was my greatest desire (and probably still is) to be an animator and part of the reason why I'm not doing it is because of the politics of it. Even beyond animation, as an artist I DO know how hard it is to "birth" an idea and then to try to get it seen.

So then let us fight this good fight from whatever direction "we" choose because ultimately we're both striving for the EXACT same goal. Without you (and those like you) we have nothing to hold up as quality, and without us you have no one to champion the idea that there is a market for what you're offering.

There are many of us who that is not our forte (generating new programming), our forte is demanding a spot for that programming. Each has to fight according to where his strength lies right?

I would jus hate for YOU or BET to decide that nobody will be watching without giving us a chance to.
