Red vs Blue deets

Red vs Blue made the front page of the Wall Street Journal a while ago! A million viewers a week (per episode)! That's (way) more than some terrestrial TV shows...

Mr. Burns won't say how much money his series has brought in, but he says the venture is profitable despite about $150,000 in annual computer-hosting costs. And he's spreading the franchise. Microsoft Corp., which owns the company that created the Halo game, commissioned Mr. Burns to produce an episode to run during a big software-developer conference; the clip recounts a fictionalized falling-out between Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and one of the game's soldiers.

Can't bloody find that episode though, can I.

DOn't forget that's world-wide. Most syndicated TV shows will pick that much up the world over.

It's still darned impressive, though.

BTW, to the best of my knowledge Machinima.com still has all of Red vs Blue available.
