Heading Into the Home Stretch
Only 4 more episodes stand between us and the end of Season Four of Something to Be Desired on May 28th.
Originally projected at 40 episodes, we decided to shorten the season to 30 when production threatened to engulf us this past winter. Since taking a hiatus in February, we've received lots of positive buzz from new and old fans alike (which leads us to believe we're doing something right).
These last 4 episodes will tie up many (if not all) of the plotlines and loose ends that have been generated this season...
But what then?
We'll be filming for Season Five all summer, but in theory, those episodes won't start anew until September. In today's snack-based culture, falling off the map for that long is the kiss of death.
We have a few ideas for keeping the STBD flame alive over the summer. They include:
- a daily "minisode," 0:30-1:00 in length -- character-building scenes, stand-alone jokes, etc.
- a weekly "behind the scenes" video -- interviews, story meetings, rehearsals, making-of, etc.
- weekly Ustreamed live chats with the cast / creators
- character videoblogs
- or, quite simply, starting the next 10-episode story arc in July.
We could do one or two of those, but we can't do ALL of those -- we're not made of time.
So: how would YOU like to see STBD spend the summer?

I like the weekly "behind the scenes" video and the weekly live ustream chat as the two to go with. You could either set them off across from each other, like one on Tuesday and one on Friday, or have them work together, with the ustream event occurring say, an hour after the weekly "behind the scenes" release so chatters and callers/skypers will have new information to interact with the cast & crew about.
You could also do videos where the cast & crew discuss past episodes or storylines.
I still think a few LIVE ustream episodes would rock...
or along the lines of the :30-1:00 shorts would be cool maybe just following one Character
I like the idea of a character videoblog or the weekly "behind the scenes" video.
Can't wait to see what you choose!
Bloopers!!!!!
ooh, I do like a weekly behind the scenes. It also might be cool to do some sort of campy mid-summer 10 minute ep too -- not pivotal to any plot, but almost a 'what did STBD do over the summer?' report. You could tease it in the behind the scenes leading up to it, then tease the start of the season for the remainder of the summer.
And I second the motion for Bloopers!
