Bar Karma
''Bar Karma'' is the first online community-developed network television series. Online users pitch their own ideas for scenes and twists online, using a tool designed by Will Wright called the Storymaker. Some are eventually chosen by the production staff, and are utilized to help create a new episode every week. The main plot revolves around a bar known as "Bar Karma", a bar that resides someplace in between parallel timelines.

He is confused, and thinks that he accidentally fell asleep and is dreaming. When he finally realizes that this is so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
