I did my part. I emailed WB tellin' them (politely) that I wanted a series, or at least the dvd of the pilot for sale.

Don't know how interested y'all actually are in this, but here's some more about Global Frequency from the brilliant man who created it. I cut out a bunch of stuff that had nothing to do with GF and some stuff that didn't seem necessarily informative... for the sake of space. For those interested, this was dated June 24th:

* GLOBAL FREQUENCY:
I remain in an awkward position. I still haven't seen the thing, and, at this point, almost kind of don't want to. For one thing, I now know that it was the rough cut that went out to sales. The music wasn't in there, there was a placeholder ringtone (if we'd gotten the go-ahead, we were going to commission a musician to devise the GF ringtone. I was holding out for The Aphex Twin), etc etc. It's not, to me, the real thing.
As to any putative grassroots movement to get the show on the air somehow: I'm in two minds about that kind of thing, which is why I can't stand behind them. It does them a disservice to not be fully committed to them, since it's people essentially taking their time to speak on your behalf. That's a nice thing. I've never been totally convinced of their efficacy, but it's a nice thing. It also leads to people thinking that a vocal subsection of nutbags are in fact your voice. For every 99 people who speak with love and passion about your work and make you do the whole heel-scuffing awshucks bit, there's one genetic damage case who uses fictional swearwords and hires a Lithuanian midget child-actor to represent themselves as a tv producer by building a spaceship called THE PAEDOPHILE out of crackers.
And you can't do a damn thing about that. And associating yourself with it and THEN disassociating yourself from it is even ruder.
If you like the show, keep reading Rogers' blog at
http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com.
I love that people love GF enough to talk about these things. But I can't be optimistic about it any more. John Rogers is the optimist.
Rogers will keep you updated on developments.
Also, ha ha, friends in high places have asked me to not talk about the show in specifics, for conversations are still being had. (And not, as one piece of hatemail had it, because I have other irons in the fire.) So that is now as much as I'm going to say about it all.
I don't think I intended to say THAT much. Oh well.
(Yeah, you're free to reprint this one on websites etc.)

Downloaded.
Watched.
Loved.
The fact that the WB didn't pick this up really makes me think that they don't want people to watch their channel.
Do they not want people to watch their channel?
Seriously?

Not that I would go out and break any laws, but is there a way to find thise series besides Bittorrent. I'm not paying for their service and they don't offer a free period so I can't really get my hands on it. It sounds like something I'd love, but alas no one on Kazaa seems to have it either (not that I looked or anything).
Any suggestions?
email me

Ummmm, Bittorrent is free, anybody paying to use Bittorrent is being ripped off.
Global Frequency is also available for download through Emule, which works much the same as Kazaa except it is hell of a lot better than Kazaa, nobody uses Kazaa anymore.

Here is a review of the episode that I found, which also has some screen caps from the episode.

I watched it again last night and its still damn good on second viewing. Whichever WB exec decided to turn this down should be sacked.

I'm amazed at how TV companies will spend so much on programs and then never air them. It seems like the fate of new series depends on the whim of a small number of TV executives. It would make more sense for them to air all the pilots that they make and get viewer feedback before deciding whether to commision or cancel them.
Kinda makes you wonder how much $$$$$$ these crazy TV networks make off of the advertisers. Also, were do they get such anal exacutives with no sense of humor or vision?
