RIP Internet Superstar...long live martin sargent

Well...

Another era has passed..and one of my favorite quirky shows on the Internet (and Rev3) was cancelled..

I'm saddened to see this go..personally I didn't catch alot of "infected"..but Unscrewed (when on TV..), Web Drifter and Internet Superstar..were some of my FAVORITE shows...just due to the Quirkiness of them...



I remember years ago when living in San Diego,..then-gf and I drove up to LA to go see Unscrewed filmed live...which was a hilarious experience...(the Jimi Hendrix of the Ukulele), we got to meet Martin out front briefly..which was a treat, since he seems like  a hilarious guy... someone I think my sick-twisted  sense of humor could fly around...hahaha

well...regardless..I digress...



then came Web Drifter (for me that is)...and....I watched every episode religiously...(of course representing the Church of Tom Jones...)...I thought the idea was hilarious..and I sincerely hope that show can see a future...


I have to admit..the Peter Pan episode...still haunts me..hahaha..I love how Martin would completely go along with these peoples delusions to bring us their "hindsight" on their...whatever it is that they do....a few times it's so ridiculous you can't help laugh..(the guy who heals via sound..)


The Sexual Fetish shop, the super hero, the man who will live forever...(classic)...the sex toy manufacturer based in Amish country/aka Virtual Sex Machine...hahaha...all these episodes have been forwarded and referenced many times in my experience with Internets...

which brings me to Internet Superstar..

when this show started...I was enthralled...it was a spin off of the web drifter concept...highlighting Internet personalities...

brilliant!...the show was quirky and fun, sexy at times (gators gal) and above all entertaining..it was something to watch daily with lil Internet superstar...then a weekly big version with the dynamic duo..

I'm saddened I missed the live show w/ Mr Amtrekker...and all around..I'm going to be keeping up with www.sargeworld.com to see what Mr Sargent lands next...

What is sad to me is...one of the reasoning statements of letting the show go, was because it "Never found it's audience"...well...basically that show really was the one...the found me...so basically I just disagree with this cancellation...and I hope to see more from the Sarge soon...

Internet Superstar...you will be missed


RIP Gator..



I will now leave you with a few of my favorite Martin Sargent Episodes..
