TNT and Acura Microseries a “Blank Slate” (Trends I Hate, Vol 314)

Following in the footsteps of Dove/MTV (“Fresh Takes”), TNT is teaming up with Acura to present an original “microseries” starring Eric Stoltz, called “Blank Slate.”  The 80-min long series will be broken into 4-minute segments and here’s the best part (via NewTeeVee)

“The show will have an overly-complicated release schedule on the network: It will be spread out over five back-to-back hours of Law & Order over two days, across two consecutive weeks (I know, it’s confusing). But Slate will also be available on TNT.tv and on Acura’s site, where the “microseries” will become a web series.”

And people wonder why nobody is watching original shortform content online?  With such a huge star in the lead and this brilliant distribution plan, “Blank Slate” is about as close to DOA as a project can be and still hope to see the light of day.
