Start Up (Pilot)

“Start Up” is a half-hour scripted drama about a small group of friends with the next great idea in social networking history. With recent economic downturns, they’ve lost their investor and are in way over their gifted heads. They scramble to keep their small business afloat while battling cash flow, tech sabotage, compromising dreams and falling in love.

    When I heard about the idea for this show and read everyone's excitement, I was excited, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I watched it...acting is pretty over the top and not realistic--chemistry between the cast feels thrown together and not real to me...would definitely be hard to get past in order to get into it....I still wish you all the best though!
  • a fan
    But it's not really any less realistic than any other similar show that's out there; look how over the top Will and Grace is. And even for actors, chemistry has to be nurtured; most of the time, it's not instant. With a pilot episode, the cast is lucky to have a table read with each other before filming scenes together. A pilot episode is the beginning. Look at Friends, look at West Wing, Sports Night, etc... You don't love those shows for their first episode, but for what they grow and evolve into over the seasons. As the show gets better you become more invested and attached.
  • C. Danielle
    I can see your point, but I've watched all the pilots and I think some of the other selections do have that instant chemistry with really great acting and/or great writing. I agree that it is rare to find right away, but it still is possible, and when you do-I think that is what makes those shows stand out or what makes you take that second look. Those are usually the shows that you end up getting addicted to. I just didn't see it here. But that's just me. I still hope it does well and I'm glad they have such a great fan! Good luck! :)

    Great idea and nice execution. As a former employee of a dot com startup in the golden days (late 90s) a lot of this hit home...I actually knew people at Skymall.com and you nailed it! Definitely want more!

    And Cal is so cute! I hope he comes back in the new episodes.
  • noelle22
    Watched the pilot and it's amazing! I can't wait for this to get picked up.
  • sheilaelledge
    I would like to see the pilot for "Start-Up", but don't have Halogen TV in our area. Is it possible to watch this episode on the web? I like the teaser.
  • SSnickers121
    Great show, I loved it and told all my friends about it. The lead actor is great too!
  • NY
    Yeah! This looks awesome. If I weren't living in Ireland or college dorms I would get this channel.
  • Name
    This looks really cool. Wish I had the station in my neighborhood. Not on sattelite or cable in Wayne, NJ. A real bummer. Hope you will post some episodes on web so we can watch around here. Pinged my sattelite provider to get the station. Hope it works.
  • rugene
    When do the new episodes start? I understand only the Startup pilot exists.
  • SSnickers121
    Great show! I loved it. Main actor is great!!!
  • RJM1971
    Cool show...I hope I get to see more of this in the future. I really want to know what happens next. More Startup Please!!
  • George
    Just saw the full episode!!!!! Can't wait to see what happens next!
  • Any news when this will be picked up on network and will this channel be available in Minneapolis?
  • Sheila,

    You can log into http://get.halogentv.com to see if Halogen is available in your area.

  • Jd. Bowman
    If this gets picked up, I'm totally getting halogen added to my dish package. This looks so funny. Clever idea too -- very timely! Plus Good Chris makes me laugh. More Good Chris!

    (and a ps. to the guy who said this was over-acted... um, Have you seen tv these days? You can't tell me top-listings like csi are "underplayed" or that reality crap like the american idol kids don't over-do their reactions to try to get more votes. If you don't like tv, fine! But this CLIP looks better than all of the new sitcoms released this past year on major networks.)

    [end tirade]

    More Good Chris.
  • Cassandra
    I am so excited to see more of this. What time and station...
