REGARDE!
Fox Pitch Over. “Thank $#?@!!” Say Participants

Dec 8, 2003 — filed under: Animation

There's nothing much to say about it, really. What a terrifying experience. We went out to LA and did our best to pitch our shows to Fox. Our ideas were not what they call "high-concept" (a hollywood term meaning, "so simple, a studio executive can understand it") so it is hard to fit them into a five minute presentation. Who knows if they are even fit for television at all? Would we even want to have a show?

The executives were all very nice, and all under thirteen years old. We also met some very good people in the Fox waiting room, like Nate from Oregon. During the stressful and frantic days leading up to the pitch meeting, Chris Harding contracted a horrible viral rash that covered his entire torso. It should go away in a mere eight weeks, he is told.

Here are some pictures from the trip:


The night before the pitch, Chad and Jeff work on some storylines


Chris and Jeff practice pitching all night


Chad gives the presentation a little ZAZZ!


Besa takes one look at the script, and throws up on it


Jeff warms up for his song and dance


In the Fox waiting room, Adam is nervous.
"Captain Pee Pee" enjoys the snack table


Chris checks his hair one last time before the big moment


Jeff and Chad turn Hollywood


This security guard threw us off the Fox lot, but he told
us a few funny "showbiz" stories first.


Afterward, we all got drunk and took Jeff's sock monkey to the beach
