I think last night’s PSN-TV premiere went about as well as expected. Except, the band that was supposed to start at 5:15 didn’t start until about twenty to six. And the televisions that had been set up at first wouldn’t work, and we missed the first show. And I think maybe only six or seven people from my show turned up. And I think most people turned up just for the free pizza and weren’t involved, interested, or even aware of what PSN-TV is supposed to be. And each of the shows suffered from low production values and some were almost impossible to hear. And the crowd got steadily smaller as the evening progressed. And we didn’t get as many laughs as I would have liked.
But I was generally pleased with what I saw last night, and I think it’s a good place from which to start. Initial kinks and glitches were to be expected. And even if it is just student television, it was nice seeing my name up there in the credits, and I was really pleased with how our show turned out. Our biggest problem, I thought, was the really awful sound quality of our live performance, which made up the bulk of last night’s show. If the audience didn’t laugh, I think it’s because they couldn’t hear. The material got laughs when we performed it live, as did my Waiting for the Bus sketch, which had much better sound.
