Why Can't Tripping the Rift be picked up by Comedy Central?


DVD sales brought Family Guy back from the dead, so why can't this happen with Tripping the Rift as well? Sci-Fi was a poor choice to begine with. The show has been funny and I think it would be great if it were allowed to continue on a channel more suited to its adult humor. Comedy Cnetral seems like a natural choice.

How about transferring Tripping the Rift to Showtime or HBO and really sexing it up ??

reply

I would guess that for every DVD Tripping the Rift has sold, Family Guy sold at least 20 after it was canceled.

reply

Agreed.

To be honest, I didn't even know this was a TV show. I got the movie as a gift and seriously yesterday found out that it was a show. Plus, it being on Sci-Fi means that not nearly as many people saw it versus Family Guy, which was on a free channel.

Seems like "Rift" would be a perfect choice for "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network. Their development is so hit-or-miss that you'd think they would like to pick something up that already had an audience. I do like the idea of putting it on Showtime or HBO and finally letting Six loose.

reply

Adult Swim would be the perfect place. I guess since it makes sense, it won't ever happen.

Comedy Central is bringing back Futurama. Where is the love for Tripping the Rift. The show was tastelessly hilarious!
