I would simply like to see something animated on here. As there are not nearly enough adult cartoons. Have the characters talk about serious stuff.

As I would really like to see them take the content from Digg and use it to the advantage of the show. You could simply take one topic a week. And have the whole show be about that topic. Just friends riding in a car hearing about how Apple hits 100 million Ipod sales. They talk about how they here that no one else will be able to do that. But they think they could make a more practical piece of hardware. Or that they don't like Apple and they can go I**** themselves. As one of them says "My IMac blew up in the middle of the night and I was awoken abruptly. I shit myself." Something like that. Every week you could have a cool 30 minute conversation about one of the topics on Digg.

This would really make an awesome show. As it would be... more of what everyone here does best. But a more in depth view on one topic. It would really be a show of the Digg users really since all the topics are Dugg and picked from. I'm sure there is a lot of funny stuff out there to be said about the topics on Digg. As it is proven by Alex and Keven each week.

Another premise would be to have a character work at a great TV show that was acquired by a crap network. This character can do things to sabotage the show each week but end up working out for the better somehow. Once again you could use some of the topics within Digg to help with what is on this fake TV networks show.

Granted Cartoons are serious business with how much goes into the artwork. And picking the voices. As well as getting writers. But honestly keep it simple. I'm sure something like this would get a good review from everyone here if done well.

That doesn't sound all that entertaining...

I think there is enough premise to make good on the whole animated sitcom bit involving top stories that run through the digg site.

There is a seed of a good idea here...Think of well written but "simple" animation out there, "south park" "Dr Katz" etc.. something like this could happen, something with a tech bent. The audience would have to expect long times between eps, and occasional delays, cause it's not just "film one day" and "encode/upload" the next. Expensive proposition for Rev3.

Or cours, it wouldn't have to be really long, 5 or 10 minutes, as long as the writing is good...

Something to think about Rev3.

dunno about taking stories from digg. how many shows do we need that use Digg stories? I'm of the opinion that 1 is plenty.

Ill keep that in mind... But I'll most probably broach this topic with the Blackfox crew in the blackfox thread, It is after all, they who will be the characters...

Though not necessarily the voices...

A retarded ape might make a good narrator, come to think of it... appropriate.
