Mekhi PhiferMy favorite tidbit in the announcement yesterday from NBC about new web initiatives it is undertaking is “NBC Fantasy Talent Scout”:

Participants can build their own talent roster from three online agencies featuring characters from all NBC shows. By actively playing a subset of their roster each week, users will earn points and enter for a weekly cash prize, as well as a quarterly top prize of $100,000. Each character has an assigned phrase or action, and if the characters do or say this action or phrase - players earn points. For example, if a user has chosen Michael Scott (Steve Carell, “The Office”) in their active roster and in that week’s episode he says “That’s what she said!,” they earn points.

As sad as it might be to admit, I have always wanted a “fantasy TV” game and although this is strictly NBC, hey, it’s something.

    A friend of mine in LA actually has a fantasy TV league where you pick shows and get scored based on Nielsen ratings. They have a draft and everything.
