Family Guy Effect
A good read at T.U.A.W. about how one of my favorite shows, The Office, was saved by iTunes. It reminds me of how Family Guy was brought back after HUGE DVD sales. This is a sped up version of great DVD sales that saved an already cancelled show, or in this case saved the show from being cancelled.
The Office was not scoring good ratings on television, but it was the number one downloaded show on iTunes (recently surpassed by Lost). This prompted NBC to keep the show on television rather pull the plug to early on a huge hit. It’s a great show which is continuing to grow its fan base as well as the story. I wasn’t aware that it was on the block, but now that I’ve read the story, I’m glad iTunes saved this.
