The Bottom Line
In the meantime Channel 101 is open to submissions, the rules are pretty simple and their ten points of advice are truly sight to see. (Follow the Hate, Deny Everything and Turn on the Air Conditioner—to name a few). 101 is truly, where the rubber meets the road.
If you're interested, submit a 5-minute pilot, and Channel 101 may choose to show it at one of their increasingly popular and well-attended monthly screenings. During which an audience will vote, ala Live at the Apollo, to decide which pilots will be picked up for another episode. If yours is picked up, you can be part of the group that selects new pilots.
It's that simple.
The judgments are blunt, the lessons painful and even if a show's "picked up," the deadlines are perverse, the time limits are impractical and the pay for all but the site's owners is non-existent. But, the shows on Channel 101 are almost painful reminders of just how much quality comedy isn't on TV at the moment. And, to say that the right people are noticed is an understatement.
