I love how you all have used the internet to keep us interested in tv shows that you run. Back in the day, we barely saw pics of our favorite characters outside of the show. Now they're on awards shows of every tiny thing imaginable, there are fansites on the 'net to tell you spoilers, cast bios, myspace profiles of characters (you can really be "friends" with Pam Beesly!!), clue games that may or may not follow the storyline (Lost, anyone?), even Trivia Superbowls to keep us interested! And the most ingenious use of the internet to keep us hooked? Having characters write blogs, in character. It makes them so much more real, so convincing.
Last summer I read quite a bit of Dwight Shrute's Shrutespace. And I've just found Creed Thoughts. If you watch the show, you know that Creed set up a blog at work, that Ryan cleverly set it up as a word document so that the world wouldn't REALLY be subjected to "Creed's Thoughts". But NBC sure capitalized on that, and voila! a blog! sooo smart and funny.
So, Dear TV execs, kudos to you. Thanks for keeping me entertained even when I'm NOT watching TV.
