Hey folks, Harry here.

I guess technically this belongs on Coaxial, since it is
Television related, but it is also very much about
AICN... so... I’m putting it here.

Yesterday you might of seen either in USA TODAY
or the STUDIO BRIEFING on IMDB.... a brief
article talking about a “AICN Television Show”

It then went on to detail a whole bunch of fun stuff
about various concepts and pitches that were
apparently put out in some sort of memo/proposal.
The article claimed this Proposal came directly from
me to ‘studio’ types. This is.... not quite the truth.
Fact of the matter is that I have never seen this
‘memo’ that the writer of the article has spoke of.

However.... I am in talks and have been for about 6
months now. In fact, I’m going out to L.A. next week
to take some promising meetings on the entire show
next week.

The show is going to be... quite a bit of fun.... when
it is set up. Which it isn’t yet. The reason I haven’t
talked about it on the site yet is simply because it is in
the very very early stages.

I have been being very cautious about the
development of the show because... quite frankly I
think entertainment news television has not been very
good so far. I want to change that, and it is my goal
to make it work outside of Hollywood.

I have always hated those... it’s ‘Wayne’s World
meets Entertainment Tonight meets PeeWee’s
Playhouse’ type of descriptions... it’s too.... heh...
PLAYER-esque. What I’m working on is something
that hasn’t been on television before. That tries it’s
hardest to be somewhat original in it’s approach to
Televised Entertainment Journalism. A type of show
that would ask Directors, Screenwriters, Actors, Fans,
Grips, Film Students, Regular Joes... And blends it
all up for something... that has never been on
Television before. This is not a show about a bunch
of Funny Sketches.

So... Why am I writing this? Well... Basically to
say... The article that has hit does not quite have all
the facts, thoughts or concepts in place, because...
quite frankly... We are still working out the kinks.

This will not mean the end of the site... No... I will
not retire from the site. This site is my first love, in
terms of my career.

My goal is to simply create a new media companion
to the site that will heighten the fun we have here with
AICN...

Once again... More as it develops...

Harry
