Re: #MakeitLoud Ideas...

I have always though that we should find a way to contact the writers/producers of shows like CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" or FOX's "Glee" and have them incorporate FIRST into an episode. When Dean presented the Make it Loud award to Will, all I was thinking about is that we have to do this! There are upsides to having this on either one of these shows. BBT is watched by millions of "geeks" just like ourselves who would probably be completely dazzled by the idea of FIRST if they had no prior knowledge about it. With Glee, it takes place in a high school so it would be a perfect outlet to get FRC out there. I am by no means creative like the writers of these shows but if people are just watching their weekly shows and FIRST comes up, they are more likely to watch it rather than a documentary type show on it. It would be a great way to reach out to millions of people and they would still be enjoying what it is that they enjoy about these shows. I have not looked too deeply on FOX's site but CBS is not making it easy to contact anyone. Plus if BBT were to win the Make it Loud Award, a visit from the cast at champs would be AWESOME!
