Welcome to the first post of my new blog, or perhaps I should say the "pilot," heh heh. For folks in the know (or who have seen Pulp Fiction), they will know that a pilot is the first episode of a new TV show, the success of which determines whether new episodes will be created.
Then again, a pilot constitutes a more or less finished endeavor, whereas I'm not sure what the tone, style or content should be. So in that sense, this isn't really the pilot, more like the horrid development meeting in pre-production, where the execs are nice but clueless, and the only hot chick in the room is the rich girl who's married to an actress from the 80's. Grim stuff.

Hi, and welcome to the first post of my new blog. This project came to me when I realized that people in Hollywood were talking about the mythic "five minute sitcom" that will someday be "broadcast," "podcast" or "streamed" on a wide array of "distribution platforms," but the actual google results on said term were pretty disappointed. When http://www.godaddy.com/ told me that http://www.fiveminutesitcom.com/ wasn't taken, I vowed then and there to start a blog and hopefully establish myself as an expert in a field that no one seems to know anything about.
So like I said, thanks for reading this first post. I plan to use this space to link to articles on the subject, keep abreast of trends in the emerging medium, and pimp the hell out of my own five minute sitcom, a zero budget experiment called "LAZARUS."
Welcome to the first step in a derivative media future geared towards people with no attention spans whatsoever.
