  THE "BIG SECRET" IS FINALLY PUBLIC

 

Coming Soon: IFC Renews The Onion News Network Plus So Much More

By Melissa Locker on 03/23/2011

Pardon me. We have some very exciting news and need everyone making that drumrolling sound on the table with pencils, pens, and hands and whatnot. All set? Okay, commence drumroll please. IFC is pleased to announce that we have renewed the Onion News Network for a second season. Or in the words of Brooke Alvarez, "The Onion News Network has allowed IFC to broadcast our programming for a second season. You're welcome, huddled masses." However you spin it, we are excited to have the best (only?) news network on cable on our air for another season. Now to borrow a line from the best late night infomercials, but wait, there's more!

In addition, IFC has green lit four new original series: "Commercial Kings" from Reveille, "Young, Broke & Beautiful" produced by 44 Pictures, "Whisker Wars" produced by Thom Beers' Original Productions, and "Bullet in the Face," created and written by Alan Spencer. But don't order yet, because for a limited time we are willing to double that offer and give you two Ginzu knives two more original series currently in development. We are working on an untitled variety show hosted by Comedy Death-Ray's Scott Aukerman and "Pointless" created by Ethan Berlin and Eric Bryant, which came to IFC through the New York Television Festival.

What are these brilliant new shows we will soon be offering? Well they won't whiten your whites or organize your closet, but we are pretty sure these shows will (sham) wow you.

Commercial Kings premieres Friday, June 24th at 10 p.m. Starring filmmakers and comedy duo Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, this docu-comedy series follows the pair as they travel across America, developing and producing commercials for local businesses. The show's concept is based on Rhett and Link's popular website, www.ilovelocalcommercials.com, which has made the duo an internet sensation with over 80 million views on YouTube.

I've been curious about their ratings as well. Mostly because I'm anxious to know if they're doing as well as they ought.

this is awesome show! are the ratings good though? because TV could use some better shows such as this.

 

this is really cool! congratulations on the show, it sounds like it's a big success! unfortunately I don't have IFC...or cable...or anything. Just Netflix. will the episodes be posted online at some point? or at least on Netflix? I've only been able to see clips on here and Youtube...

The last business name was finally posted to IFC's episode guide today - - Episode #10

 

I love CommercialKings... with a passion!!!!!!!!
Hello Rhett and Link,

Will there be a DVD coming out with the first season of Commercial Kings? I tried to watch it through iTunes but Apple wanted TMI.


Yours Sincerely,

Additional personnel: Louis Metoyer, Shaunna Hall (guitar); Suzie Katayama (cello); Judy Rudin (harmonica); Laurent Tardy (piano); David Rickets (keyboards); Rory Kaplan (Mellotron).

Found today an online service with all of the Commercial Kings episodes available for "free" viewing at VIDEOBB.com . . . at least it looks like you can watch up to 72 minutes for free before having to pay for a "premium" membership at $10/month or longer terms ($100  for 2 years). When the 72 minutes free time runs out you have to wait an hour before loading another video. 

 

P.S. - - checked with some other MBs and the site also works internationally . . . at least in Denmark and Holland . . . not so sure about your particular country.
