Hollywood Stuntman Derek Lightning was in search of the perfect Hollywood stunt when he lost his memory. Tracked by investigative reporter Tab Wilson and wanted for a series of crimes that he didn't commit, he now searches the greater Los Angeles area for his own identity.
A charming hostage-situation show that strutted into Prime Time on a shocking gimmick, Not Without My Fucking Country lasted for two months in the 2007 season of Channel 101, falling out in August and proving the long-standing myth that dudes kissing are more powerful than shit jokes.
Ryan Nagata, while overcome with separation anxiety for the elegant magician Shuzuki Thornburg (Your Magic Touched Me), wowed August 2006 audiences with an energetic and crisp spin-off focusing on Sex Crime Investigation. Gaining momentum in 2007, the spin-off eclipsed the original and began to reinvent itself with every episode. From the Japanese Mafia, to ghosts, to clones, to outer space, Your Magic Touched Me: Nights kept the energy fresh and exciting enough to last nine months of competitive screenings.
Dohar strutted into 2nd place in July of 2006, a powerful effort from Willy Roberts, Mike Manasewitsch, and resident 101 composer Ryan Elder. Loincloths, Taxidermy, and Dragonforce may not sound like a recipe for success, but the clever writing and intense action sequences made the live audience wild.
Roots of Justice was the first show in 101 history to achieve prime time status through the disqualification of another pilot that otherwise would have been #5. The second episode provided its fans with more of what they wanted, but, as with the first episode, there weren't enough fans to keep this tree cop from being chopped down.
Dick Richards made history when it became the first "Chauncey" (a pilot unsanctioned by the selection panel) to go Prime Time. The Audience was charmed by its sophisticated look, and kept coming back for the story until finally, in June of 2005, Dick Richards' case was forever closed.
Dave Hartman's second Prime Time show's unspoken premise was simple: Vote for me, and every month, I will bust my ass on mind-blowing visuals, channeling the resultant sleep-deprived schizophrenic breakdown into the story and characters. The result was a truly magickal blend of refined technical expertise and stream of conscious mythology. As with all of Hartman's stuff, Magick Haus was a particular favorite among internet viewers, but the live audience foreclosed on the property in February of 2005, perhaps feeling free to do so because of their knowledge that the creatively addicted Dave Hartman will always be back for more abuse.
