We did a punk rock comedy TV show on TIME WARNER CABLE Televison FOR 5 Years in ITHACA New York. "THE DESTUCTIVE IMPULSE SHOW" We had alot of fun got paid no money and The main character "Raph the great" Decided he had had enough of it and quit 2 times. The show took a break for a year Raph went to San Francisco and many other places While i remained in the area. We put the show back on the air "LIVE" a second time another Raph travel adventure then on the air again. My intention All along was ART! I still have the original studio VCR tapes and plan on Using it. The matierial is amazingly authentic as there was no ego. Raphs intentions was not to become rich or famous. There is alot more detail that I won,t go into now, I need colaboration of more Artists and musicians and support and some meager finances from a sponor or a supporter to Go forward THIS would make an excellent project for a grad student to persue Or maybe even something bigger! I'm not very good at schmoozing my way into things. but there is a huge potential here When you compare it to other successful endeavors i.e. The Sienfeld TV series? Any help or input would be appreciated sincerely "bABYLon joHN" John McARDLE. THANK-YOU.
