Hi there,

As a loyal supporter and listener I was curious to see how KATGtv would work.

So I gave it a watch.

I understand what you guys are getting at. You're trying out something new...and flexing your muscles and keeping things creative and fresh. I mean, heck you've done over 600 podcasts...and the DVDs and video clips are getting good feedback....so why not expand out into videocasts...and rip that award out of the cold dead hands of AskANinja.

: )

I can also understand where people are coming from when then bash the KATGtv first episode. A lot of your listeners have gotten used to how you improvise your show based around a loose schedule and notes. With this more scripted approach it's a very different interaction with K&C. And it's something you guys are both new too and still learning the ropes of (I'd imagine the only other time you're in this role performing situation is with kids' parties...and it does have a bit of a high-school skit feel to it).

But it must be an exiciting new prospect for you guys to try this stuff out. And play with it. I just hope it isn't too demoralizing that there are so many negative criticisms of your new experiment. I think your fans have unrealistically high expectations from you guys...and figure you must be skilled at everything (given how talented you are at podcasting). And likewise for you guys, it must be weird that the typical overwhelming positive response you do get from your podcasts aren't coming in with this videocast.

I think your fans recognize your potential. And your skill. And both are strongest with your real-time on the fly improv and comedy. Just being yourselves....instead of playing roles and reading scripts. You guys do shine when you're just being yourselves....and what comes across is full of life and passion.

Whereas the tv skits are something you will need to work on for a while to refine and get your chops for....and at present, by nature of its newness,... it is a bit wooden and forced.

So it's only natural that your fans aren't all ready for this....and would likely prefer to see you flex your strongest muscles in this new medium....instead of try out something that you aren't naturals at....yet.
