@M Oden, actually IFC stands for Independent Film Channel, it actually started with, and is affiliated with the film company, so it does IFC made films first, then it does TV shows, and while they do take them from Web Videos and Podcasts, they are from very well respected and highly regarded comedians who have been in the game for a long time. I'm not saying that Jennette isn't a good comedian, but she's just starting out. I mean the Birthday Boys got on not becuase it was a webshow but because Ben Stiller decided to pick it up as an executive producer and Bob Odenkirk is the star, Comedy Bang Band was a podcast hosted by Scott Aukerman from the legendary sketch comedy series Mr. Show. Portlandia is created by former SNL star Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, a comedian in her own right and a member of Sleater-Kinney. Everyone here is a big name, they don't bring randoms onto that channel, it isn't even independent anymore, it's owned by AMC. My point is the people who get shows on there are far from independent, up-and-coming producers.
