As yall know, I am creative, I ‘get’ the internet, and I am interested in tween issues, which made it pretty natural to write a sitcom that dealt with these three topics. Needless to say, I’m super excited, and hope that my show catches on with test audiences. Do you think yall could give me some feedback if it is good enough for yall?
Show description: A Girl from Wisconsin created a youtube account, created videos, and ‘went viral.’ She was then recruited to star on a zany tween sketch comedy show called SO RANDOM. Her life changed, but she is still humble, and zany things happen around her with zany characters. While she has some zany conflicts with people who might be more/less ‘viral’ and quirky than her, she is sort of searching for meaning + special relationships, just like every1 else in our world.
Which character do yall ‘relate 2′?
Do u think it is a ‘good concept’?
Do u have any tween actors who yall could recommend?
Do yall think it has a chance to ‘catch on’ with tweens? I feel like the problem with most television 2day is that the people who write tv shows don’t ‘get’ what happens in the modern world. They don’t understand vlogging, and they don’t understand youtube sensations. Just feel like this show has a better chance of resonating with tweens as opposed to outdated sitcoms like Seinfeld, Frasier, and Every Body Loves Raymond and H8s Chris.
Just interested in educating America’s youth about concepts like ‘microfame’ and’macroanonymity’ which have shattered most tweens’ concepts of ‘what it means to be successful’ [via 'being famous'].
Will HRO ‘make it’ and launch the career of this new tween sensation? (kinda like Miley/Trace Cyrus)

Tweens need more negative influences. Like an Alice Glass with a training bra. Maybe a pre-STD Uffie.

@Yeah Right Radio, remembering what DCFC and the Smiths did 4 me as a tween, this seems like the ‘prudent approach’ [via Victorian Tories].

woah i cant believe I watched the whole thing either, this is horrible. But i have to say, if I was a tween, I would be very into demi luvato.
what happened to the funny and cool memes. this is just not going to be a bloggable meme, EVER!

This show is a ‘breakthrough’ into the ‘new’ ‘culture’ of ‘tomorrow’. Yet I do hope the show wasn’t too ‘ahead’ of its ‘time’.

I’m all about disney. I’m past my tween stage and would still watch Sonny. Def a lot funnier than lizzie mcguire, because it brings out the quirky side to being true to oneself.
I like.
Demi is pretty perfect for the part too.
