Twitter debuts TV Series premiere
For the first time ever a television series is launching it’s premiere strictly on social media site Twitter.
Fox’s Raising Hope, a comedy about the Chance family raising baby Hope (Do you see what they did there?) has decided to launch it’s first episode of the new series from it’s official Twitter page. Links are attached to promotional tweets for the page giving viewers a chance to be introduced to the new series.
This is a first for both Twitter and TV shows. Whilst there have been sneak peeks of new shows, trailers and adverts, never has a full length screening of the show been shared solely on the site.
The episode is available to watch on Twitter from Sept 21st to 27th with the series continuing on the more traditional TV screen on Oct 2nd.
So, what do you think about this development? Is showing TV on Twitter a good thing or will it lead to the eventual demise of television, leaving TV redundant because everyone can watch on their Twitter profiles or Facebook pages? Let us know in the comments below.
