Madeline – ALL creativity relies on sources.

‘Slapped together and poorly conceived’ is about as vague as feedback gets.

And humour, as we all know, is a matter of personal taste.

“creativity”? most elements of this show were taken shamelessly from other, more well-established sources, the art is slapped together and poorly conceived, and the writing is neither compelling nor even *funny*.

this show is about as creative as a paint-by-numbers.

Yeah, things like creativity, originality, and humor have no place in television, and certainly not in comedy.

The fact that free really does work is very convincing evidence that we’re in a new economic age. I love seeing people implementing these strategies. I’ve also been very impressed with how readily entrepreneurs have taken to leveraging technology. This show is a perfect example of that. If Family Guy can get onboard, the model is surely applicable across the board!

Absolutely fantastic analysis! Couple of months ago I found some things businesses could learn from MythBusters (on Discovery channel) and wrote an article about it on my blog (http://leanstartups.com/2008/10/what-can-startups-learn-from.html).

Sometimes you have to use analogies and non-business examples for people to get it.

Great job, really enjoyed the article and mentioned it on Twitter.

G’day Brian, hilarious love that un-PC comment. That BH ‘wanker’ mispelt ‘threw’ as ‘through’. Anyhow! Thanks for writing this. Saw from Innovation.AllTop.com

Wish you had a Twitter account so I could keep up to date and read more of your insightful stuff. I had no idea for instance of the show being cancelled, as I don’t see the ads as I watch a recast in Australia. Now I understand Fox Network and the innovation of this media biz a bit better for you coining a phrase (to me it’s new) ‘Selling the Free’ about the DVD of the episodes. I’ve wanted to buy the DVD just to watch one episode again that was hilarious.

This is encouraging stuff. I love to hear stories about failed, cut, ignored, neglected ideas that persevere and eventually pull it out. Never knew that about Family Guy.
