TVWhen Phone Sexxers premiered in the summer of 2006 the audience granted the simple show about Phone Sex the honor of another episode. Ryan Ridley and Abed Gheith took their good fortune and ran with it, re-inventing themselves with every episode, right up until the end of the 2006 season. They managed to juxtapose the inner workings of the male phone sex industry with situations ranging from high-rise bloodbaths to the depths of hell, and did it with the kind of class and skill that landed the show Best Editing, Best Special Effects, and Best Writing at the 2006 Channy Awards. In January of 2007, Phone Sexxers ended their legacy with a touching self-cancellation that would make Mike Nichols proud.

The existence of Channel 101 led to a show on VH-1 called Acceptable.TV. Director/Actor Drew Hancock wrote a mini-show for Acceptable.TV about the dangers of swords, but VH-1 hated it so it was never produced. Now, in the post-ATV era, Hancock has brought the show to the Channel 101 audience to great success. Sit back and enjoy as Trip Fisk warns you of the dangers of owning swords, and always remember: Don't Fucking Touch Swords.

Since the 2005 cancellations of Laserfart and MESI Dan Harmon has lingered in the background of Channel 101, sneaking into various hit shows while working on "real" television for VH-1. Before 2006 was complete, Harmon delivered this poignant gem to October audiences and strolled back into prime time. Exposure tells the story of Dylan Carter, a struggling creative drawn to the power of Channel 101, who must overcome his own limitations and cope with rejection. On the show's similarities to Channel 101: The Musical, Harmon writes: "It's Last Temptation of Christ to Makiaris' Jesus Christ: Superstar."
