Ok, let's say that FOX or Comedy Central or Adult Swim offer TBC a contract to produce a test season of 14 episodes of a half-hour H*R series.

Do you think that the series would work? And more importantly, would you watch it. If you think it would work, how many episodes would it last, do you think?

As for me, whether or not the series lasts past the test season, I'd watch it. Granted, it could work. If H*R was picked up as a TV show, I'd think it would last maybe last 39 episodes in 3 seasons before being canceled. Then fan protests will cause it to get picked up by another network and air for 53 episodes in 4 more seasons. Ending with 92 episodes in 7 seasons.

I also have an idea for how the series would work. It would be split into two segments, the first being 11 minutes long, the second would begin with a 4 minute long sbemail and end with a 7 minute long H*R toon.

Actually, this would be a good idea. I have to hide it from :trogdor: before he burninates it.

Burninate this idea!BURNINATE IT!!

Many have said it hard to come up with a plot for 30 mins,but short segments is a good idea.

I like the short segment idea. I'd think of a H*R TV show as something along the lines of the Red Green Show. Have a separate story for each episode split into 3 parts and between each part there are little segments (I'm thinking sbemail, regular toons, and maybe some other segments like Strong Bad reviewing old made up movies and games).

I think the fact that it's a website gives them freedom that they wouldn't have if it was a TV show. I think Homestar was just meant for the web.

If anything, I think it would be best as a sketch comedy.
