Update #3 - "God, Inc" Sold To Sci-Fi

[HorrayMel]

I can't wait!!! I love God Inc.!

[shadyrosy]

Francis, this is FANTASTIC - good on you!

Louise

[hoboboxerjoe]

Congrats buddy, I'm so happy you are getting this off the ground! I'm both happy and envious of your success, you've obviously been trying and working so hard.

[ericacious]

I loved this series so much--I wish we could see more!

[roadking82]

God Inc gets a shot at TV and not Mr. Deity? Mr. Deity is much better. I don't get it.

[Stickings90]

So what happened to it?

[ramose801]

Video killed the radio star and corporate idiots on SyFy seemed to have killed a epic comedy. I guess you should have stayed Indie. However I am sure the duckets they gave you were NICCCCCCE! :) But sadly though no God Inc? I'm not Christian but the show was the best sitcom! I guess Piper got her way. :(

[tehredmage]

so.... Francis? Dude? Any word?

[brianatleftyfilms]

Francis,

Any word?

[DelusionalEnigma]

Any Word?

[ipodnano4334]

So I guess this isn't going to happen?

[ATwinklingStar]

wow thats great ...congrats for that , you all deserve this ..and I can not wait to see more of this great show :)

[shelly6593]

yay :D good for you :) wow 11 years... high time it happened huh lol well you deserve it! *raises coke glass* to you! :D

[splinterman5]

when is going to happen?

[ArtisticPhoenix]

yeeehaaaaaw!

[SVR06Wrestling]

when will it show up on tv

[hanicken]

WHY???????

[TheERGO]

they better take it! everyone will love it!

[louisandliv]

is this actually still happening?

[eridaniblack]

I don't think this is going to happen. :/ It's too much like 'The Office' and there's already going to be an Office spinoff coming out soon.

I wish this would come out, though...I miss watching these.

[lmc3200]

This was filmed befoe the Office premiered......and it has nothing like the office except the fact that it is in an office

[eridaniblack]

It's a lot like The Office, actually. Office Politics, off-beat humor...People are going to find similarities.

Also, the point that this came first means nothing. If people perceive it as being like The Office, they're not going to care that God Inc. did it first. They'll just dismiss it.

[Addictedtogw]

Coooooool

[lordtroah]

Whoa, i keep forgetting to keep updated with this. Even though its a year late, congrats on the deal and im looking forward to seeing it on air, you guys are awesome.

[Jekelstheory]

congrats man!!! i'll be looking forward to seeing it on sci-fi!

always loved the show.

[TangerineTurtle]

Does anybody know when this show is going to air?

[francisstokesdotcom]

Still making its way through the development process... no word yet!

[TangerineTurtle]

Thank you: )

[shannonkish]

Still in the development process? It has been a year! I miss God, Inc!

[thelonegunmenX]

heh heh love god inc. i hope that they'll use some of the same actors, theyre awesome.

[johnnylondis]

Congrats from Dublin, Ireland guys. You deserve it and I can't wait to see it on the big(ger) screen.

[SpamSpope]

yay I'm really excited! I was hoping they'd make more God Inc episodes and now my wish came true even better! Its such a clever show and I'm really glad that they got this opportunity. Its crazy how much influence youtube has these days

[shadowxtv]

so is it gonna be on? just checking also is it gonna be in the states>

[fantumb]

What's going on with the show? Is scifi showing it yet????

[xxXBlacKnightXxx]

good 4 u guys,but it seems things r going a bit slow,cuz i havent heard much 4m sci-fi themselves at least no form of promotions hav been made of it.

[crazyphotographer1]

Has anybody heard about God Inc. since this video was posted? That was in July 2007 and I can't find any info about it since then.

[jjcool17]

yer so how much for?

[LobsterMassage]

Congrats. The Sci-Fi channel has a tendency to make their shows suck, so keep your integrity and don't let them tell you what to do.

[shesaidla]

i dont think their shows suck they just always cancel their shows after one or two seasons and that sucks because sometimes it takes time for a good story to develop.

[xxXBlacKnightXxx]

i sorta agree,what is undisputable is that sci-fi's original movies always suck ass,oh god they do.they need some help 4m the miracles department in that area,to tell the truth the only tv sereis that comes to mind that i like 4m the channel r stargate SG-1(the original cast) and not the variation and crappy change of colonel O'Neil and now cameo appearances of the orig. cats except O'Neil.and Ripleys,twilight zone(comes midnight and stuff sometimes i think),masters of horror stuff kinda.

[rolfcopterroflmao]

WOOT!!!!!!!

[timelyhandclaps]

that's so incredible! im so glad you found some success! keep us updated, the show is awesome.

[badgernine]

youtube is the home of God inc!

[Lexphoto]

Congratz!

[sporksanonymous]

when is it going to air i would like to watch it?

[magnaniteck]

you are so lucky!!

but i dont have cabal!

:[

[roosoh13]

are the actors staying the same?

[phazttraxx]

Sorry, but I think God, Inc should stay on Youtube.

[ennalyra]

please post god inc.new eps. on youtube!!!!! i don't have a TV in my house!!!

[tayover23]

ya i can't wait

[shoeman415]

aww, i don't have cable.

[Sawta]

I hope this comes out soon! This was posted July 17th :/

[44nj]

there is currently a little thing going on called the Writers' Strike. It might just be me, but that seems like it could create a small delay in the production... But, hey, I'm no expert so you don't have to listen to me.

[francisstokesdotcom]

It's true. Things are on hold right now because of the strike.

[44nj]

he is an expert on the other hand.

[Kryztal89]

so when is it go to show on scifi exactly cause i want to make sure i don't miss it!

[ladyakksgrinder]

I love the show god Inc. Congrats Francis Stokes I can't wait to see it on Scifi. I so Stoked. HEHE :D

[dominiricanusa]

oh i'm looking forward to this, i'll have my DVR ready

[TONYDANGERtv]

hey congratulations! god inc. is definitely a great show! the first time I saw it I thought it was brilliant! pure gold! so congratulations!!!!

[hubristime]

Congratulations - (sellout!)

You have a very powerful message with GOD, Inc. The reason it was bought is so that it will never be seen again.

[starvingmusician21]

Congrats, man.

[karn33333]

hell yeah wtg man.

[rosalind24]

!! Congrats!

While it's sad we won't see it on Youtube anymore... :) you did well! I hope you'll still be writing the scripts.

[TechState]

Well done fellas, the first time i saw it i knew you guys were potential pros. Very well done indeed. Your plot/characters/acting are second to none.

CONGRATS!!! looking forward to it being shown in scifi in the UK!!!!

[pparasol]

Hey man, God Inc. is great, it most definitely deserves air time on tv. Congrats!

[Dipity75]

I haven only just got my computor back and have just heard the news - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope that sci-fi here in England will show it! Very well deserved!

[oneilluiuc]

Hey Frank- congrats on the show! I'm glad Dan told me what you were doing, and now I look forward to checking you out on the TV-tube. Well deserved!

[dredwolff]

late too, but congrats! I think the Sci-Fi channel will be a good place for your show. "God Inc." should be loads better than most of their Sci-Fi originals too ;)

[FaerieDust]

ok, so maybe I'm just a little bit late here, but congatulations, man!! that's so awesome... =D and I was wondering why you didn't put up any new episodes... =P just one thing... do you have any idea when this show wwill come to Sweden? no, huh? didn't really think so, but thought I might try... (I live in sweden, so I have no idea what the sci-fi channel is, but I can sorta guess ;) )

Anyway, congratulations again! ...I can't wait for the DVD's to come out... =P

[GaryHurd]

Hey, an 11 year overnight hit.

I am looking forward to the show on the Big Tube.

[thesisrevoked]

I realize this is an old annoucement, but I just found out, and I am SO HAPPY for you guys! This is great news! I just hope Sci keeps the story and content unchanged. Anyways, great to hear you guys have done so well. I look forward to seeing other people watch and love it on TV too.

[mmm222ccc]

Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work!

[drumbum1010]

FUCK YEAH........ this is one of my favorite things ive seen on youtube or off.... ill be an avid viewer

[skuryliw]

Congratz man! Omg cant wait to see it on TV, great show btw, very very clever

[MichelleKenobi]

Francis, from one filmmaker to another, congratulations! That is really wonderful news! I'm genuinely happy for you. I ran into the bathroom while my bf was taking a shower to give him the good update from you. That freaked him out a little. LOL. If you ever have time, check out my new geek humor web series, ./shutdown. You can watch it at username:Kill9tv. Let me know what you think, and gratz again! Take care!

[fraidykat]

America is used daily by the netwroks and by the big box, that's how CAPITALISM WORKS!

I am VERY Happy to hear this news!!!

[marneedear]

That makes no sense.

[minivitale]

Great! any ideas on a premiere date? (i know it's too early but i just want to ask)

[EmTheMan]

good for you guys! im looking forward to seeing it

[ilovekelly75]

congrats man. Im so watching it even if my brother died and the funeral was on the day it airs.JK! Great Work!

[CorinthB]

You guys worked so hard for it! Congratulations, I hope many more achievements follow this! (And don't worry about any of the negative responses. We all support you 100% That sounds cheesy, but whatever, Good Luck!!)

[lestweforget9210]

when is the show going to be on sci-fi?

[DiamondBollox]

Congrats!

[djratboy]

This makes me feel upset. Basically you used the users of YouTube to help sell you this, to make you rich! What happened to amateur nice god inc episodes which are fun to watch. All you want is money! Sorry i dont usually post negative comment, this been my first, you used us to make you money!

[carlayling]

How do you think he can keep making these things without money? You think he should do it for free? So all the actors shouldn't make money, the camera guy, etc? You are an idiot and you have no idea how hard it is, and how hard you have to work to get where this guy has gotten! He deserves everything he can get!

[ShizukesaYuriko]

In what way did he give the impression that he used Youtubers to help sell this?! Your argument is unfounded, Sir. Nor does he seem driven by the need to make money. He merely saw an opportunity and he took it. He. Did. Not. Use. Us. To. Make. Money. Unless he asked for contributions that I'm not aware of? Which I don't think he did, otherwise, again, I fail to see how you think he used us. I say..GO FOR IT! Expand your horizons.

[BryyMillerson]

Do you have any concept of how the film industry works, or do you just not own cable?

[chantz144]

Wow -- Justice prevails! Congratulations -- we can't wait to watch more. Kudos to you and also, of course, the "guy from God, Inc." (my favorite character). Maureen

[dimikouk]

Hey congrats man!!!

Good very GO D!!

[doctortrax]

Way to go! Congrats! :D

[DJTALLGEESE013579]

Great fucking job!

[EasyToRememberr]

Congrats!!!! Can't wait to watch it!!!!

[123456isme]

good luck I don't get cable but it does not matter good for you

[scinerd]

Awesome!!!

[TwinCamIrl]

Congrats on the deal. Really looking forward to seeing the new show. God Inc is the funniest thing I've seen on youtube.

[DKballs]

are the same actors going to be in it? or is it going to start from the benginning?

[SUPERCRAZY01]

so when will we be able to watch it on tv

[hazonku]

Wow I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing God Inc. on Sci Fi. I've been telling friends, family, and coworkers about God Inc for a while and now maybe those too lazy, or too technophobic that will finally get to see it. Now I'm reminding those same people again and telling them it'll be on Sci Fi. I'm sure the show will be a big success. Best of luck! Can't wait.

[FinalfXI]

when does it begin?

[Baileyonfire]

scrubs is a sitcom u fool

SITUATION COMEDY

[pnksbl1]

please...dont make it like a sitcom...use a camera setup like scrubs :D

[djtyg]

Sweet!  When does it air?

[soHARDtomakeAname]

wtf sci fi????? people might actually watch that station now

[iSOBigD]

Try to get some professional writers if they're willing to give you some. You're big time now. Just because something does well on the internet doesn't mean it could last a season on TV.

[Scottlin213]

if you guys end up having a premire for the sci fi channel try to get it to run right next to stargate atlantis, it might be more successful

[Scottlin213]

hey i have no love, fuck you

[snambo]

I'm happy for you. God, inc is a very funny premise with the best theme music ever. But of course you realize that the "Austin factor" weighs heavily in the definition of "funny". Oh, sure yo0 do... You gave him a diet Coke for appreciation (ecchhh! whatever....)!! Good luck to you and your future TV endeavors.

[DrCube]

YEAH good luck guys!

[dannydean84]

good luck with god inc

It is a very enjoyable idea for a show. I love your 6 pilot shorts. Will be watching for them on SciFi. Congrads.

[HighwayCinema]

Francis, The first time I went to Sundance(1991), I was really excited about the theme: Independent Vision. Now, years later, it seems that fest became a bad imitation of itself, and in the process lost that orignial vision. I salute you for reviving it. Success be yours, HM, Highway Cinema

[BryyMillerson]

Now there's Smogdance, the anti-Slamdance, which is the Anti-Sundance.

[fistjedi]

Hopefully you guys don't get cocky and forget the internet people who helped you along.

[BryyMillerson]

Please.

[NoxTheCat]

let us know when it starts up. =]

[tyson160]

so is it on yet?

[PFCIverson]

Congrats on getting your show bought and I can not wait to see the great show hopefully it will be just as good as what you put on youtube.

[bcconcierge]

Congrats! It's about f**king time!

[contrex0]

Will they redo the whole thing now? I just hope I can see the results somehow...

[drazil91]

congrats and you deserve it

[TehEMan]

Hey, I heard you were "developing a new scripted one-hour time-travel drama for SCI FI." Hope they air it!

[francisstokesdotcom]

YES! That's the blind deal. Just turned in the outline.

[jabzilla21]

woot

sadly i dont have cable or dish so i wont get sci-fi

but i will still watch it on the internet - you will have somefans that will post episodes on it - i will be one of their viewers :)

it wouldnt have 2 b this way but im 2 poor lol

-jordan

[ZacharySS]

w00t.

[simpleutopia]

Woo and frackin HOO! Well done Francis and team, a much deserved opportunity! We'll be keeping an eye out for you on skiffy!

[BishoujoMagic]

Awesome!! Congratulations!

[MrSilentG]

Wow! Great job, guys. I also caught on to God, Inc. when it got the YouTube Feature treatment. YouTube is a great place for cheap, quick, disposal entertainment (see dramatic chipmunk), but God, Inc. always had a more enduring quality to it. This is a great story of new media helping to break underground talent... dare I say... a miracle?

[unschool]

So happy for you! Too bad I don't get TV. Maybe I'll pick it up on iTunes.

[tehdnite]

I shall join in on the congrat's! Very deserved and I can't wait to watch the show on SciFi! x=)

[DamDisIsShiznats]

Holy Shit!!! YES!!! OMG!!! I Can't WAIT to see it on Sci-Fi!

[dahbou]

Fantastic, Francis and Guy From God, Inc! Congratulations and Good Luck!! You have great talent!

[cbreitel]

You guys deserve this. Good job.

[marcellag7]

WAY TO GO, YOU GUYS!

[mpsaunders]

Surely God inc staff aren't allowed booze?? Congrats on the wedding and the deal. Persistence pays off. looking forward to seeing more of the show.

[Aishwarrya]

Go Francis! Cant wait for it!!

[madcitygork]

Congrats- it's a great show! Can't wait for it to air....

MCG

[GimmeEd]

This is such great news - way to go. I hope the show becomes the hit it's destined to be. You deserve it.

[abuelobob123]

Wonderful. Congratulations. I hope they give you freedom to be as creative as you have been. Good luck.

[dazmed]

Congratulations, "God Inc" has a smart premise and a lot of potential...and most important: it's funny...best wishes from Venezuela

[soulfulalone]

i hope they keep all the actors from the original show, and the atmosphere too. Anyway congrads

[heartsides]

oh man im excited. i love sci fi, they make good series so ill be watching, but please keep the same actors they are so great on the youtube videos.

[ladyeuthanasia]

Way to go, Francis! You totally deserve it!

[BamaBabydoll]

Way to go!!! Cant wait for it to start :D

[PimpSlapNoJutsu]

how much money are you getting on the deal?

[MediocreFilms]

Congrats, Frank! Glad the deal(s) went through, you totally deserve it!

[jesic]

Wow, congratulations. Can't wait!

[wyogi06]

Francis, I am so glad that I did a search on God. I would have never found out about "God, Inc." Your "shorts" are some of the funniest ones I have ever seen. Please continue to make more. Congrats on the Sci Fi pick up.

[BryyMillerson]

Congratulations, Francis. That's really great.

[alhypo]

Congratulations! I can't wait to see it.

[rasz]

I hope scifi picks up actors, there were some great characters already developed, like the "do we have money for booze" Austin, bitchy Piper, or NORMAL (normal as in not a model) looking Sarah.

[lizjewelry]

Austin fans can get their fill of Stephen F. on 'film pigs'..movie recaps avail. here on this site! Very funny.

[RyanWatson]

Yay, this is awesome news.

[Djarra]

Great news, lets hope that Sci/Fi don't take too long to show it over seas!

[zxaq50]

Good news Francis! I've been lmao since God Inc appeared. Hope you keep the quality up. It's great to see talent recognized (or at least paid!)

[Fritaly]

Congratulations! If anyone deserves a break, it's people like you who aren't afraid of making waves and being clever.

[Hellmo7]

Man THAT IS AWESOME! I'm so proud of you!! Is it still going to be on youtube?

I'll be watching you guys!

[KrupasGhost]

Cheers - back at ya!!!

[Rackle141]

AWESOME, you deserve it!!!! Cant wait to watch it!!!!!!

[neal1960]

I don't have cable. Oh well.

[Mickymoefoe]

[alh1993]

[aswolf]

[sokahokawakalos]

Good for you guys :).

But congratulations and I hope the show works out well for you.

[wildpeaks]

[BCSWowbagger]

[Oomelgloobel]
