In other news, Comedy Central has ordered the pilot episode for “Dwayneworld,” a faux-news/sketch TV show that would focus on social networking. It’ll star Dwayne Perkins, a comedian, and tt would include correspondents like those on The Daily Show, but with a slight twist. Only the pilot has been ordered, so it’s unknown if this will ever make it to the air.

Finally, Netflix has struck a deal with Epix to bring Paramount, MGM, and Lionsgate films to the “Instantly Watch” service. The films wont be availible until 90-days after the release to DVD and BluRay, however it’ll greatly improve Netflix’s instant streaming content, which has been mediocre at best. This deal goes into effect September 1st.
