Now I confess that I did watch Prom Queen and it was good. It should be. But I also saw after much deep searching a show called "Floaters". The first couple of episodes were okay so I stuck with it. It turned out that it was good. So, I'm glad to see that some people are thinking about us and putting out more than mind-numbing boy stuff.

I really believe that we're going to see a) higher quality productions that are b) geared toward a general viewing audience (i.e. not just youtube-crazed boys) in the near future. I'm not sure about the "huge corporation" part though. High quality productions require money. The key I'd say is for shows not to "feel" corporate, always a tough trick!
