Is it Acceptable to Combine Web & TV?


Get a celebrity pitchman like Jack Black and efforts to market consumer created sketch comedy with some created by a "professionals" and you put it online and on cable. They call it Acceptable.TV. Worth a look-- maybe a bookmark? But will you tune in to VH-1 to watch it? The promos released on TMZ make it fun to consider the role of technological determinism in this age of converging media. The theme here again is consumer created content-- the mission carried over from YouTube, CurrentTV, etc. Here the effort is focused on sketch comedy. All those budding SNL writers will likely submit.
