Have you gotten tired of shows where common objects are blown to a fine pulp? No, of course you haven't, because watching things blow up will never not be awesome. With that in mind, go ahead and check out the new show from Mythbusters cast members Tory Belleci. It's called Blow It Up, and you'll never guess what the premise is. Go ahead, take a gander. Naturally, given Belleci's ties to Discovery, Blow it Up is part of Revision3's TestTube sub-network. Each episode will feature a guest star, who will donate a much reviled item he or she wishes to see obliterated into oblivion. For the first episode, Revision3 founder David Prager offers up a car that he cannot sell and will not drive. As Prager watches from a nearby shelter, Belleci and "bomb tech girl" Francesca Garigue randomly choose a particular explosive to detonate. Sure enough, there's very little car left once Belleci,...

Grumpy Cat isn't the only famous feline who's going places. Lil Bub, known her heartwarmingly diminutive stature and her adorably slack jaw, is celebrating her second birthday, and Revision3 is giving her a wonderful gift. The multi-channel network has announced a web series, The Lil Bub Show, that will star the precious kitten and her cat pals. The Lil Bub Show will feature the titular cat and her owner, Mike, as they show off her general cuteness. We can basically expect it to be a combination of Lil Bub's current YouTube presence, which consists of Mike's home videos, and the high production values that an McN like Revision3 can provide. "Simply put, it’s the year of Lil Bub," said Revision3 Svp of Programming and Development Ryan Vance. "We’re partnering with this special cat to create a show unlike the Internet has ever seen. It will be as unique as Bub herself,...

Philip DeFranco, one of the top basement-bred indie producers on YouTube, just signed with San Francisco-based digital network Revision3. It's no surprise Rev3 wants a piece of the D. PhillyD's irreverent conversational talk show The Philip DeFranco Show, or simply Pds, boasts nearly 2 million subscribers and over three quarters of a billion upload views. "Anyone watching the online video space over the past couple of years has seen the explosion of YouTube and the elevation of YouTube creators into legitimate stars. One of the biggest stars among them is Philip DeFranco," Ryan Vance, VP Programming and Production, Revision3 told Tubefilter. "He was one of the first "vloggers" and remains not only one of the most popular, but one of the best. His point of view continues to be whip smart as he hilariously deconstructs all the day's news." Revision3 will provide ad-sales and production support for DeFranco, Inc. properties. "I...

Harley Morenstein broke the news in early November via Twitter and Lacey Rose at The Hollywood Reporter just reminded everyone Epic Meal Time shot a television pilot for G4. The original web series about wouldn’t-be cooks from Quebec who use unbelievable amounts of bacon and other carnivore-friendly fare in their gross-but-enticing kitchen creations made its first debut on the gamer, male, and ninja-oriented cable TV network via Attack of the Show back in March 2011. Since then, Epic Meal Time’s creator and Sauce Boss Harley Morenstein made at least one in-person appearance on Ats before making the announcement about the TV pilot and reassuring fans there will still be weekly online episodes of Epic Meal Time, the Emt crew will not be tamed, and in the G4 version you can expect more bacon and ladies. Rose reports the pilot will be produced by “Comcast Entertainment Studios, with Jay James (Guliana & Bill,...

Popular tech demo and review series Soldier Knows Best popped up on Revision3 today, as a part of the network's continuing strategy to cherry pick top YouTube channels like Epic Meal Time and Dan 3.0. The long-running series (since 2008) boasts over 200,000 subscribers and nearly 50 million views on its YouTube page. Mark Watson, the series creator (and an actual Army reservist), hosts a fast paced show covering gadget news, unboxings, and gear reviews. His straightforward, no b.s. approach to product reviews has earned him a reputation as a trusted expert that is both knowledgeable and unintimidating. "I first met Mark at CES this year, though I'd been a fan of his channel for quite a while," said Ryan Vance, VP Programming and Production for Revision3. "He's a great guy and I'm extremely excited to officially welcome him to the Revision3 family of shows!" In the latest episode of Soldier Knows Best,...

Harley Morenstein, Alex Perrault, and Sterling Toth started posting videos of their carnivore-inclined gastroporn under the banner of EpicMealTime in September of 2010. Since then, their weekly videos of over indulgent, culinary creations that simultaneously make you salivate and want to vomit have racked up over 72 million views and garnered 600,000+ subscribers on YouTube (which currently puts them at 75th on the YouTube Most Subscribed All-Time Subscriber charts). That’s one helluva great start for a web series. It was only a matter of time before a company who’s in the business of taking burgeoning online video stars to the next level of internet fame and fortune (a company like Maker Studios, The Collective, Fullscreen, or, to a certain extent, Revision3) snatched the Epic Meal Time crew up and signed them to a distribution deal and revenue share split that offers better returns than YouTube’s Partner Program. Today, Revision3 did just that.

Your favorite 6'6" Libertarian magician with a home modeled after a correctional facility and one helluva ponytail is joining your favorite technophilic internet television network. Coming May 24, Penn Jillette's shiny new series, Penn Point will be part of the programming slate at Revision3. Ryan Vance, Vice President of Programming & Production at Revision3, tells us Penn Point will deliver "an unfiltered look at the world through the eyes of Penn Jillette." Bryan Curtis, writer for Slate, tells us Penn Jillette is a public intellectual, "always on the verge of another revelation," a devoted skeptic, atheist, and avowed enemy of Michael Moore and Mel Gibson. So, what does that information tell us about how Penn Point will look and feel? Jillette will get in front of the camera, discuss whatever's on his mind through with obvious biases towards maximizing individual liberties and minimizing government, and Revision3 will take the homemade footage and make it look pretty.

Web TV network Revision3 issued an open offer letter to NBC's The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien to take his show online. After the embattled late night star rejected a proposal from NBC to move the show to another time slot, there are talks of a separation agreement, in the $30-40 million range, letting O'Brien leave the peacock network as Jay Leno prepares to take back over the 11:30 Pm time slot. So flush with cash from the settlement, and perhaps in a coup de grâce to NBC, O'Brien could take his popular show to the internet. Revision3's VP of Programming and Production Ryan Vance made the open offer, which they say is a serious one, to Conan "Coco" O'Brien today on the company's blog. The growing online network essentially built itself on high-profile hosts—like Diggnation's Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht—though O'Brien would clearly be the biggest personality they've had yet,...
