Or maybe it was just Michael Buckley.

I tend to automatically reject anything that tries that hard to make itself hip with the “scene” (no matter which “scene” it may be). There might be some humor and some innovation there, but I didn’t see enough in the pitch to make me tune in.

I’m also seeing evidence of this desperate attempt to make a show “cool” in the commercials on some of the other networks for new shows this fall. It’s as though the producers believe that they have to sell the show on style instead of substance. Whenever I see that, I question whether there’s any substance at all.

I suppose this isn’t anything new, though…SOS.

The only way broadcast TV will ever have a future is through initiatives like this making the broadcast the center of attention and more valuable then looking at a series on a On Demand option.

If the others don’t follow Fox will be the big winner now that OnDemand is taking so much ground.

The focus on user experience and embrace of new technology is clearly paying off. Glee has hit the trending topics list on Twitter 3 times in the last week. (Last Wednesday, Friday, and again last night).

Hardie and the Fox team deserve kudos for their embrace and innovative use of these new social technologies. Sure I’m biased because they’re using our technology for the Biggest Gleek game, and working with their team has been a blast. But it is not often that a major media company like Fox will embrace and leverage new technology so early, so enthusiastically, and with such success.
