IDT was the worst job I ever had; the rules changed every day and their budgets are a joke. I kid you not when I say even their copier machines rarely worked. I'm convinced they're just laundering money until they're bought..oh wait, they're now bought...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-1148417846298778702006-05-23T16:57:00.000-04:002006-05-23T16:57:00.000-04:00The only place I'm aware that Monster By Mistake r...The only place I'm aware that Monster By Mistake ran on U.S. TV was on Telemundo in Spanish. I know that they had the rights to the first 26, but I don't know if they ever bought the second 26, which are the ones that IDT was involved in.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I consider the show a disappointment with the occasional bright spot. I have to take my share of the blame, but there were questionable decisions made by the broadcasters and our production partner CCI.<BR/><BR/>Having created the show, I learned a lot about the nature of the TV business and what I saw did not encourage me.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-1148388623733978072006-05-23T08:50:00.000-04:002006-05-23T08:50:00.000-04:00Is your show Monster by Mistake on any channels in...Is your show Monster by Mistake on any channels in the US?

I was hired in the summer of '03 by their small animation sub-company, DPS (Digital Production Solutions), which was housed in the main IDT building in Newark, NJ, and was there during all the crazy studio-buying you mentioned. Left the following spring for various and sundry reasons, and I'm glad I got out when I did. Six months later they completely shut down both DPS and its much-larger counterpart in Israel, DPSI, laying off hundreds of artists. I could tell some interesting stories about my time there, but let's just that I know exactly where you're coming from.Justin S Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328053567237488058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-1148012440968457582006-05-19T00:20:00.000-04:002006-05-19T00:20:00.000-04:00No kidding...I didn't even know IDT had anything t...No kidding...<BR/><BR/>I didn't even know IDT had anything to do with animation at all...Cookedarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516071831717511595noreply@blogger.com
