CW working on user-generated show ‘Viewsers’
Cory Bergman March 26th, 2007
The show would feature some of the best user-generated video on the web while offering real-time feedback from viewers. Uh, viewsers. (We believe Safran invented this word years ago on Lost Remote, so we’re proud the CW is planning to call the show Viewsers.) Meanwhile, VH1’s user-generated show Acceptable.TV premiered last week (here’s some background). Screen grab below…
On Acceptable.TV, you can watch mini-shows on TV and the web. Some shows are produced by users, others by the show’s producers. Then you vote for your favorites online, and the ones with the most votes are cleared to produce another episode for the next week’s show.

Viewsers - I love the term but I first heard it (and stole it myself) form Leo Hindery who used it at a cable conference in 2000. I had no idea Hindery had stolen it from Safran.
