Mike Rose and Tyler Spiers, the masterminds behind Channel 101's longest running series (Classroom), claimed themselves another slot in Prime Time with a world imagined into existence by an eight-year old gay boy named Shannon. Having the horse sense to utilize the animation talents of frequent rejectees Craig Morris and Robert Potter, Planet Unicorn was a testament to the creator's abilities to utilize the Channel101 community to it's full potential. And the show exploded in viral popularity. YouTube fan films and frequent links all about the internet brought this Channel 101 show the kind of attention that hadn't been seen since Chad Vader. In an abrupt turn, the July 2007 audience cancelled Planet Unicorn's run, but maybe like Chad Vader the show will continue long beyond it's life span at 6356 Hollywood Blvd.
