Space Channel Commercial

[Darrell Lawrence]

Once I had heard the Space Channel in Canada was running original series commercials, I e-mailed them asking for a copy to post here at Fleets, to help promote the show on their channel.

They responded, and now, thanks to them, I hereby present "The Out Of Work Cylon".

OMG...I love it! Now that's the kind of clever advertising you won't see on Skiffy. I'll have to save that one.

That was a hoot and a blast to see!

The Space Channel really knows how to promote a classic TV show...

A bit of class and a bit of humour will get folks every time!

Did they make more? I hope so....

Best,
Bryan

Space is generally pretty good at marketing the older shows While it runs TOS, there will probably be a different promo every few months... :D

[Muffit]

That's really great guys! I really needed that laugh. :)

Hats off (fur off?) to SPACE for a super clever and very imaginative ad!

:lol:
:muffit:
:rotf:

[Darrell Lawrence]

I agree, dear one... hats off to them :)

Arch, lemme know if others are shown/have been shown. If so, I'll ask them about those too.

Bry, if there are no others, then we'll just have to make our own! ;)

[Archangel]

Arch, lemme know if others are shown/have been shown. If so, I'll ask them about those too.

Giong back to satellite TV in a couple of weeks, I'll keep wathing for it.

Of course, now that they know you're interested, they may let you know before they start broadcasting any new ones. ;)

[tracyb144]

Whilst I'm sitting here watching the tail end of "Lost Warrior" ( brag brag brag :D ) I do notice that Space runs about 2 different promos for BSG. They did when the show was on a couple years ago. THEN they touted it as the "most requested series in the history of Space" :D
But seeing the "Battlestar Galactica CLASSIC" logo pop up...man that was sweet :D
If I see a different promo then the one they're showing, I'll let ya know D :D

Kudos, btw, for snaggin' it from Space. Canadians are SO nice aren't they? ;)

[jewels]

Warrior, where can we email them to thank them for the wonderful promo? And encourage them to submit it to the Communication Arts advertising annual competition. That was a really good piece of ad work, it just might merit professional mention.

Oh my god!

That was freakin awesome!

Woohoo!

Space=quality scifi.

Scifi-quality rental property.

:D

[oldwardaggit]

It feels like the original is making a big come back up here. It's nice to see.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

OWD

[Darrell Lawrence]

jewels, i'm not sure I should post the e-dress of the one I actually got the file from, as it looks like a personal company e-mail addy.

But when I requested it, that e-mail was sent through their web page (for the channel, not the web site. Two diff contacts there). The web site channel contact is what I'd recommend.

[Darrell Lawrence]

Canadians are SO nice aren't they? ;)

I can think of some that are nice, a few more that are pretty damn cool, a couple more that are just awesome, and one that is extremely special ;)

[Titon]

and one that is extremely special

ER i don't *live* in Canada.

:D

[peter noble]

ER i don't *live* in Canada.

:D

It can be arranged. :devil:

[Titon]

It can be arranged.

DOH!

:)

[Darrell Lawrence]

Edmonton would be a good place for him ;)

[Titon]

Edmonton would be a good place for him

Now no need to get nasty!

:D

[peter noble]

Somewhere in Quebec, now that's being nasty. :D

[Darrell Lawrence]

Sooooo.... well over 200 views and only a smidgion of replies?

C'mon, folks... what did you think of the commercial? ;)

[Vanamonde]

Finally got a chance to download the ad... :rotf:

Thanks Warrior! :beer:

[rjandron]

Now now, Edmonton's rather nice this time of year.

Not a bad city, really...but they do have a lousy hockey team though. ;)

The commercial is great, and it's nice to see that Space was able to put something like this together. It was good seeing the old guys getting out and stretching their legs--so to speak. The commercial had the right level of irreverence that made it fun to watch.

I love the Cylon mopping the floor and shaking his fist, "Now it's payback"!

Hey is that one Cylon doing yard work on a Friday night? Doesn't that Cylon know it wil miss GINO?

[Titon]

He's FIRED!

There went one ratings point!

:D

[Lothos]

:D

Ok , thats something I would PAY to see..... A reality show based in unreality... Something like comedy central's (Is it comedy central?) animated "Drawn Together" except less gross..... I can see it now.... The Apprentice: Out of Work Sci-fi edition. Or something along those lines.
I just want to see a cylon, Mark Hamill, A serpent Guard (Stargate SG1) , Guy in a Godzilla Costume, Erin Grey, abd any one else someone can think of trying to make it in big buisness IN CHARACTER.

That is absolutely awesome!!!

[ernie90125]

It also shows what can be done with just 1 suit.....1 person in it, and a camera.....

[Darrell Lawrence]

To those that commented, you're welcome.

Hopefully there will be more in the future ;)

[Harvester]

I'm glad to see Space came through and gave you a copy of the commercial. I've only seen that one a couple of times. Usually they just run shorter versions (15 seconds) with one 'retired centurian'. That version has most of the footage that is in the shorter versions, with different editing and voiceovers. That's the best version. I see it's spawned a ton of screen capture avatars on the various boards. I'm not sure how far they're into replaying the series as I've been away for a week. Guess I'll find out tonight.

[CommanderTaggart]

I sent 'em a thank you via the email addy on the Space website: space@spacecast.com

Thanks, Darrell!!!

[peter noble]

I sent them a thank you email too.

Best,

Peter

[Darrell Lawrence]

Thanks, guys.

They deserve HUGE thank you's for doing that :)

[susumuimua]

Can I get a copy of the commercial?

Thanks in Advance

[Harvester]

There are links to the commercial in the first post of this thread. :)

[Darrell Lawrence]

Thanks in Advance

:wtf: Just save it to your HD. It's linked in my initial post, as Harvester says.

[peter noble]

I got a reply from SPACE.

Hi there,

Thanks for your wonderful e-mail. Your comments will be forwarded to the appropriate parties.

:thumbsup: :LOL:

[CPO Harvey]

That was a hoot! :rotf:

[Gareee]

That was GREAT! Thanks for the links!

[jf3000]

well i cant even find the first post of this thread as the forum displays the posts all over the place, so producing some links next to my post would be nice thank you.

[Rudy Jahchan]

This commercial was great, as are most of the station promos between shows. In fact I sometimes wish they ran them in place of some of the weaker daytime or weekend shows they run on Space.
