Oxygen Gives Life To 'comedy'
Oxygen Media has decided to air the four episodes of "Dot.Comedy" that were produced but will not shoot any more episodes, a network spokeswoman said Thursday.
"Dot.Comedy" was a half-hour Web-based series produced by Oxygen and Carsey-Werner for ABC. The show, which
debuted Dec. 8, was recently canceled by ABC. It was seen in 2.8 million households (a 2.8 rating), according to Nielsen Media Research. The show was scheduled to begin running on Oxygen in January.
Oxygen co-founding partner Tom Werner said at the Western Show in November that "Dot.Comedy" was developed for Oxygen but caught the eye of ABC, which ordered 13 episodes (HR 11/30).
The show, hosted by Jason and Randy Sklar of Comedy Central's "BattleBots" and Annabelle Gurwitch of TBS Superstation's "Dinner and a Movie," looked at humorous aspects of the Internet.
