As far as the TV show goes, I think the reason it didn't make it was because 'they' sucked all the 'flavor' out of it. If they'd just let you be YOU it would have gone over much better with the audience, exactly like your present 'home grown' production does. I'm sure you've read many times in the comments that 'they' should give you your own show, and yes it's true; but they would have to let you have more 'creative control' of it.... But of course 'they' always think they know better.... In the end you've proved that you're better off doing your own thing...
