Just saw this post on Mashable about the top 10 most watched web series. Nearly all of them are comedy.
First that makes me happy, because the world needs to laugh as much as possible. But that leads me to the question of why there isn’t more successful comedy on TV. The top 10 there has one comedy, one drama, and a bunch of reality crap.
Is it the short attention span theater style of internet videos? Or is it just a totally different audience. Not to say that all the comedy on the net, even in the top 10, is great. Fred gives me a flippin’ headache. I just find it odd that there’s such a discrepancy between the two mediums.
And I have no answers.
