When asked to say a few words about Reporters, Justin Roiland replied, "It's a modern tale and struggle of... uhm... I dunno. A fantastic epic following the struggles of two well-meaning newspaper reporters and their out-of-the-ordinary boss." He then left the room and returned moments later to add: "A.K.A. a slapdash turd of a Channel 101 show." This insane attempt from Roiland, Vatche Panos, and Kelsy Abbott charmed audiences just enough in January of 2007 to fill the Prime Time void left by the Phone Sexxers self-cancellation. Even later, Justin returned to add that "Reporters is the only Channel 101 show that has AIDS. You should put that."

These are three shorts I made for a FOX pilot I sold with the legendary/ wonderful Jack Black back in 2007. These shorts were produced thanks to the amazing and lovely Jennifer Howell who stepped into office at 20th Century Fox as the head of animation around the same time I was writing the pilot script for this show. They originally passed on my insane pilot script, and then Jen pleaded with the big wigs to find some money for me to produce a pilot presentation. Here it is. For the first time ever. Never before seen. Fresh for your eyes. I had a lot of help on this. Some blood, sweat, and a few tears were shed here. Not literally though. No one cried. Myke Chillian, Dan O’Conner, and Collin Flemming were the lead character animators and boy oh boy did they do a TON of work let me tell you. There were also other fine folks who worked on background and color and I am in the ongoing process of collecting everyone’s information for you all to see. stay tuned. OH...

Since the 2005 cancellations of Laserfart and MESI Dan Harmon has lingered in the background of Channel 101, sneaking into various hit shows while working on "real" television for VH-1. Before 2006 was complete, Harmon delivered this poignant gem to October audiences and strolled back into prime time. Exposure tells the story of Dylan Carter, a struggling creative drawn to the power of Channel 101, who must overcome his own limitations and cope with rejection. On the show's similarities to Channel 101: The Musical, Harmon writes: "It's Last Temptation of Christ to Makiaris' Jesus Christ: Superstar."

When Phone Sexxers premiered in the summer of 2006 the audience granted the simple show about Phone Sex the honor of another episode. Ryan Ridley and Abed Gheith took their good fortune and ran with it, re-inventing themselves with every episode, right up until the end of the 2006 season. They managed to juxtapose the inner workings of the male phone sex industry with situations ranging from high-rise bloodbaths to the depths of hell, and did it with the kind of class and skill that landed the show Best Editing, Best Special Effects, and Best Writing at the 2006 Channy Awards. In January of 2007, Phone Sexxers ended their legacy with a touching self-cancellation that would make Mike Nichols proud.

A lot of people forget that before creating one of Channel 101's most marketable [if illegal?] breakouts, House of Cosbys, Comic Sacrifice was the team that brought you Hilarious Jokes and It's Twissleton. Imagine, if you will, Justin Roiland blowing off steam...

The Musical broke a longstanding set of unwritten commandments at Channel 101: thou shalt not reference other shows, thou shalt not reference Channel 101 itself, thou shalt especially not admit, on camera, that Channel 101 makes you happy, let alone sing about it. Nevertheless, what it lacked in humility and aloofness, it made up for in devotion, boldness, friendliness, heart and some seriously catchy tunes. Add to that the fact that they bothered to conclude their own story with a tearjerking finale, and you have a masterpiece of meta-tainment and a permanent addition to Channel 101's gilded hall of fame.

What can be said about Yacht Rock that hasn't been said by various magazines, newspapers and disc jockeys across the country? J.D. Ryznar and Hunter Stair's saga detailing the unknown mythical origins of a previously obscure genre of music struck the audience like a lightning bolt on its first episode, much like fellow 101 breakout House of Cosbys. Unlike HoC, however, Yacht Rock was never sued by its iconic characters' real life counterparts. In fact, it is said that at one time or another, just about every musician lovingly portrayed in the series has witnessed and enjoyed it behind closed doors. Yacht Rock enjoyed success on levels and in ways previously unattained by 101 shows, its title becoming a household phrase at radio stations, a bin at your local record store and a category on iTunes. But beneath its pop cultural triumph was an artistic one that often went undescribed: Yacht Rock's stories were always clever and sometimes downright genius in their assembly, weaving trivi...

Rock Gods, as a followup to the much loved but short-lived S.O.S. Fantome, officially established The Valley Pals as recognizable, bankable talent within the 101 universe. The second episode in particular felt like a group of young writer/performers truly finding their own unique voice, after which point it's easy to imagine that the tedious chore of animating this show became less attractive. Having realized that they could probably get just as many votes for one tenth the labor, The Valley Pals voluntarily retired their own hit show by going over the time limit in a very memorable fourth episode.
