# Acceptable.TV

Acceptable.TV is a television program created by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab that aired on VH1 from March 23 to May 11, 2007. Each show was composed of several mini-episodes created by the Acceptable.TV staff, with one mini-episode that was submitted by a viewer. After each episode viewers would be able to vote online for their two favorites. The two that received the most votes will be continued in the following episode, and the remaining three would be cancelled and replaced by new mini-shows. The show was adapted from Harmon and Schrab's Channel 101 screenings, and the cast was composed of various Channel 101 contributors.
The series is also known for the segments Mr. Sprinkles, created by Justin Roiland and produced by Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions!, known for the creation of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty.
Users would also be able to submit their own 2.5 minute mini-episodes. Each week five of the user-created shows would be selected by the show's creators and people would be allowed to vote for their favorite user-created episode. The mini-episode with the highest votes would air on television alongside the staff created mini-episodes.

## Reception

Critical reception for the show was mixed, with Variety and The New York Times both panning the show overall. The Los Angeles Times commented that the episodes focused more on being the "next 'it' spoof" rather than on the "original story and character", which detracted from the overall idea of the show. Harmon commented on the show's poor reception, saying that "Even the worst reviews, they always praise one or two of our sketches and say the other things are just shit. Well, that's what you're supposed to think. You're supposed to vote for what you like."
