The Axis of Comedy and the next two months.

Note: The video isn't up yet on the site but it IS up on YouTube. Check it out there and tell us what you think! Thanks guys!

Also, Robert: Season 2 is still up in the air. We're deciding!

--

Hey, guys.

Our newest video is going to be out and instead of an episode, it's an introduction. What is it an introduction to? For Your Imagination's new comedy network, the Axis of Comedy. 

Here's a quick blurb about it:

AXIS OF COMEDY is the ultimate online comedy network featuring a full slate of the best of the funniest web series. This one-of-a-kind network features original comedy hits Abigail's Teen Diary, Break a Leg, The Burg, GoodieBagTV, Goodnight Burbank, Kyle Piccolo, The Patrice Oneal Show and The Retributioners!

This isn't, by the way, a TV network, rather it's an online network of web series and we're proud to share the same virtual space as all of these guys and gals.

The second thing is about Break a Leg.  We have two episodes left -- two very epic, very dramatic episodes -- which we'd like to get as much eyeballs on as humanely possible. We also have until the end of October until our sponsorship with Holiday Inn Express (and Dan's Dildos) is up, so we've been debating what the best way to release the videos would be. What we've settled on is to hold off the last two episodes until the last two weeks of October and, in the meantime, give you various content every monday (bloopers, extra videos, a rap song!) I know that you're not especially keen on waiting that long -- but it gives us a chance to give Break a Leg the best possible send-off, it gives us time to push some press, get some things rolling to try and optimize the views we get for the Final Two.

So, we apologize profusely but we swear to you that it'll be worth it.

Finally, we have a plea for you all. Recently, activity here on the site as well as on YouTube has dwindled a bit. I know many of you are still watching and we ask you to please, please add your voice to wherever you can -- comments section, boards, YouTube (YouTube especially helps). This isn't just a way to stroke our egos (though it helps) it also, especially in the case of YouTube, gets the video to appear more in the rotation, giving it more views and helping spread the word about the show. Which, by the way, another great way to help us is to spread the word about the show to friends, enemies and past/future lovers.

Thanks a lot guys for everything. I know we still haven't answered the question of, "What happens after October?" and that's because we haven't answered it for ourselves yet either. So, sit tight, and we'll keep you updated. Thanks everyone!

-Yuri
 and the Team

Any chance you guys are going to pop up at the NYTVF For Your Imagination panel tomorrow night?

September 15, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

Sadly, no. But we will be in spirit! Come up to any of the For Your Imagination guys (Gino, Paul, whoever) and tell them you're a fan of Break a Leg -- they'd be very happy to talk to ya!

Now I have to think of smart questions!

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

Oh, and that promo was great.

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

maybe i'm missing something, but where/when do we see the axis of comedy thing?

September 16, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKevin

I'm not quite sure when it starts, but I'm going to a sneak preview tonight at the New York Television Festival and I'm sure they'll mention it. So if there's no answer to your question by the time I get back I'll let you know!

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

thanks!

September 16, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKevin

actually i think i'm downloading it now on itunes. i guess they haven't uploaded it to the site, yet.

September 16, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKevin

I'll be sure to introduce my friends to the hilarity that is Break a Leg.
Will there be a second season?

September 16, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRobert

So basically they said the Axis of Comedy website should be up and running soon. It sounded like within the week. Hooray!

Oh and they showed the BaL promo for Axis of Comedy. And at first the DVD was messing up (no sound, skipping) and the guy (Peter, Paul? Something like that, I think) did the best impression of Yuri. I was dying.

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

Oh shoot Kevin. You meant the promo. I'M A DUMMY. But if anyone cares there's the rest of it.

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

Thanks, Liz! That would probably be Paul and I'd love to see it.

Honestly, the only difference between Paul and I is that he wears huge belt buckles and I can fit my entire body into his belly.

Right, Paul?!

September 16, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterYuri

Yes it was Paul. I looked it up on the FYI website to be sure. Also, I began my question with "I'm a huuuuuge fan of Break a Leg" and I got a thank you and a thumbs up from him. I felt bad that I couldn't stay and talk to the whole group but my friend was hungry and wanted some indian food. So it goes.

September 16, 2008 | Registered Commenterlightupmyroom (the Other Liz)

Oh man. And now that you mention it. I remember thinking he had a huge belt buckle.
