Sex and gimmicks doesn't sell products, quality does...

See this great ad for the upcoming Nikita series. It does everything right, to not make this a successful series.  Way too much sex appeal on the ad just is doing its best to cover up the flaws of the show.  Yes she is sexy and the image is exotic and erotic, but it does not sell what the show is.  In all my years of watching 24, I never saw Jack Bauer in a leather tight Speedo.  Gimmicks are not need to sell quality.  Just look at the HBO series The Wire to see that. This this the same lesson you should learn and follow when making your products.  Get back to work.  Talk to you later.

The greastest TV Show ever made...but people don't watch

It is very simple, The Wire. The sad part is most Americans will never see it. The reason being, it is TOO real. Hey, I lived in Baltimore from 1988 to 1993 and then 1996 to 1997. The Wire is so right on, it is TOO real. And that is the scary part. Season 5, its final season, will be coming on HBO January 6th, 2008. You should check it out. Talk to you later...

Another TV pilot winner

Due to the power of Bittorrent and the internet I have seen the first episode of Californication and I must say I loved it!!! David Duchovny was great in it and very funny. I am amzed to say this but I think Showtime is become what HBO was. Weeds, Dexter, and even Sleeper Cell, Showtime looks like they are trying to take over as the channel of pay TV. I like when a show / TV Network / comic book decides to up the quality of the work they are doing to take on the estiblished belief of what they are. It looks like they are moving in the right direct and I hope they keep up the work. Talk to you later...
