So one series didn't work outside of the online world, let's not kill the future golden goose, or what was the strike really all about..

Hope and adventure win out, not a mirror of their boring sad little lives. Although, I'm sure the makers of Prozac might have signed on.

I hope the producers truly are rich enough to afford continuing it as a vanity project because I'll miss it when it runs out of episodes. Maybe the real target demographic is people who liked <i>My So Called Life</i>, rather than people in the age group of the show's characters.

Why the surprise that nobody wants to watch a bunch of spoiled twentysomethings bitch and moan about nothing interesting? And the producers ought to be kicked out of the WGA for selling product to a network (struck company) during a strike. That show bombed on the internet and it bombed on TV.

Sancutary, which benefits from Stargate stars, also started as a web project and it's expected to do well. Fortunately, there’s other web-first projects in the works.

I really hope the ghost of David Sarnoff pays Mr. Zucker a visit and slimes him for greenlighting this brain-liquefying abomination (I turned it off after 15 minutes).

What's exciting is the fact that a major network took the shot on programming from the meidum. The question we all should be answering has nothing to do with marketing, scheduling or ratings, it has to do with audience feedback on websites and the practical reality of where it fell short technically in migrating from the web to the net. Although Herskovitz seems to be absorbing the blow for the network, having an understanding as to what needs to be done for the second tier platform while your shooting for the first tier, is the bigger piece of information. People, the seamless migration and cross platforming of internet and television is all our futures. In failure there is much to be gained. Ironically, until the show aired, I have to believe you all had only wished you were the firs to have achieved what they did... easy to pile on in failure, shortsighted not to learn from it.

Is that really where you should be promoting a show geared toward 20-something year-olds? I'm in that age group and frankly, I didn't know it was on until I flipped to NBC by accident at that time...and, yes, I KNEW that NBC was planning on premiering it at some point this month, but that's because I read it in the trades, not because I saw any real ads geared towards a 24-year old. Terrible promoting, even worse show. The golf telecast?? Is that really where you should be promoting a show geared toward 20-something year-olds?

The only reason why that show is still on the air is because of Jeff Zucker. Don’t worry, it is Biggest Loser’s fault. The only reason why that show is still on the air is because of Jeff Zucker.

The type of screen was of little consequence. Way to go NBC! Keep that quality coming! I think this is actually an example of little more than Quarterlife being an amazingly crappy show.

This show is anachronistic, it's the style of thirtysomething 20 years too late. If you hated quarterlife, I encourage you to check out 2/8 Life, a series we just released. (www.icn.tv/series/28life) It pokes fun at quarterlife, but we also think it can stand on its own as a better example of what a web series can be. Obi, you are right on.
