Getting reviewed at all is, in itself, a nice enough treat when you're producing a web series. But, the folks over at NewTeeVee.com really seem to get what we're trying to achieve with iChannel on various different levels. Craig Rubens wrote a pretty insightful review back around Episode 8, riffing off the fact we had "I" reading Kafka's The Trial.
Realizing that a lot of web series are entering their "sophomore seasons" (must be a back-to-school thing in the zeitgeist), Craig just published this article about just that and included i:Season Two. He starts the article with this bold statement:
"If you’re wondering why ABC (DIS) felt the need to have a Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, then you need to get away from the TV and come back to the Internet."
At a time when WGA members are voting whether or not to strike come November 1st (when the current contract expires) and effectively shut down all film development and television production in the process or wait until next summer to join forces with SAG and the DGA to shut down all Hollywood production of any kind - Craig's advice might be something that everyone should plan on doing anyway. The last time there was a writers' strike in Hollywood, it sparked the renaissance of reality television. This time around, internet-based entertainment just might be poised to make the same leap.

I Don't Want To Become Famous - 9/31
Sometimes it is difficult to tell exactly how far your reach is on the internet since being watched in Los Angeles could happen as easily as being watched in Tokyo. Our italian isn't that great but we found this article recently talking about the launch of the new season and website (we think).

I Don't Want To Become Famous - 9/27
Revver recently featured i:Ep 21 on their homepage and wrote this blog about it. Unclealex describes how "I" sets itself apart from other "interactive" shows with the following:
"...here it’s less about a choice between A and B and more about the infinite possibilities your creative minds hold for the series."
