Star Trek has endured since 1966 largely in part to the creators refusing to speak down to their audiences. Whereas “The Cage”, the first pilot shot in 1964, was deemed “too cerebral” by NBC execs, the show that made it on air rarely stopped being thought-provoking. When the three season mission ended, its next iteration was on Saturday morning television, where, once again, the writers and production team refused to dumb things down.
The best that the universe first imagined by Gene Roddenberry does for the viewer is present allegories and mine the human condition, optimistically seeking the best way for humanity to act. Its positive message was a balm in the turbulent 1960s and has been needed ever since.
That explains why the latest entry, Star Trek: Prodigy is so good, as it furthers the human adventure through a fresh assortment of alien characters. Designed for younger audiences, it arrived in...

Maker Studios recently announced a programming push based around its Polaris and The Station brands, and as it turns out, there’s some pretty strange stuff included within that initiative. One of the newest shows on Polaris is called The Remember Hour, and it’s a bizarre fusion of post-apocalyptic fiction, fake nostalgia, and puppets.
The Remember Hour is the work of Chad Quandt, a creator who got a chance to share his ideas on Polaris thanks to his participation in Spark, a content incubation program run by Maker. With plenty of support behind him, he has introduced viewers to a futuristic world where everyone lives underground. The only form of sanctioned historical discussion comes in the form of The Remember Hour, a children’s program that examines trends from the 21st century, messing up a few key details along the way. To put it as simply as possible, The Remember Hour is one-third dystopia,...

Maker Studios announced at its third annual NewFronts presentation this morning that it has greenlit four new series via its Spark program -- an incubation initiative whereby Maker chooses projects both developed for and pitched by talent based on stats like engagement, viewership, watch time, retention, and more.
The four projects selected from the inaugural Spark class, first announced last February, include: Spin For Ink, in which contestants must endure extreme challenges in order be tattooed by celebrity artist Romeo Lacoste; Worthy, in which beauty guru Charisma Star will share inspirational stories submitted by her viewers; a dystopian puppet show by Chad Quandt called The Remember Hour; and Can I Crush it?, in which Kali Muscle will see which objects he can and cannot crush.
“Our creative process continues to evolve -- utilizing Spark by Maker as a new blueprint for collaboration while retaining Maker Studios’ distinct brand voice,” said...
