Stay Tuned TV is a site were independent filmmakers can upload and promote their work. The site features original programming available in full-length episodes.

Overview of StayTunedTV

Stay Tuned TV offers a variety of full-length episodes created by independent film-makers. Videos include genres such as action, sci-fi, drama and comedy.

Even though most of these webisodes are clearly made by low-budget studios, the quality isn’t that bad and there’s enough interesting programming available to keep you interested with this site.

Getting Started With Stay Tuned TV

Stay Tuned TV allows you to create an account with them that allows you to upload your own films, comment on films, as well as enter periodic contests.

Navigation is easily broken down into three main categories for ‘Most Popular’, ‘Just Added’, and ‘Genre’, which allows you to browse webisodes based on criteria such as animation, comedy, documentary, etc. The site is very easy to navigate and straight-forward.

Playing the Webisodes

The videos all started fine, with a very brief advertisement at the beginning of each one. The webisodes all started fine for me on the Stay Tuned TV site, and technically speaking the site appeared refreshingly bug-free.

While most programs feature an initial rating about the video about to play, it should be noted that some of the titles fall into a PG-13+ rating category, so parental guidance is suggested for some of the video, although it should be noted that none of the titles I found were implicitly adult.

The Greatest American Hero

What caught my attention from my first visit, and what appears to be the ‘Most Popular’ webisode ranked on the site, is a low-budget yet faithful remake of the 1980’s program ‘The Greatest American Hero’. Now I loved this program as a little guy, so I can appreciate the effort put into this remake.

What’s fascinating to me is that, even though this in an independent remake, the writing and acting seems to carefully stay in tongue-in-cheek spirit with the original series, even down to similar titles and music, and even the same goofy 1980’s-prime-time-style television character dialog and banter.

This remake is a lot of fun, and if anything, it’s enough of a reason to check out Stay Tuned TV.

We’d have embedded the episode here but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work so well, but you can watch it on the site.

Other Features of Stay Tuned TV

Clearly Stay Tuned TV is still getting off the ground, because the forums appeared to be completely empty. The site also offers a merchandise page, but the only content as of this writing is a polo shirt.

It’s definitely a no-frills site at this point, but the video content is engaging enough to make this a site worth checking out.
