Planet TV Network

Hey Everyone,

Our primary feed-server crashed on the evening of April 27th just after I had posted the #192 episode. The one server was only down for a couple of hours, but about 11k viewers decided to go and see the show on YouTube while our server-network went kaputz. The other 99% of everyone was able to see the show without any interruption when the feed-server was back up later that evening. Thanks to all of you early viewers, the episode 192 show made the most viewed list at YouTube for April 29th. It hit #54 out of all videos that day and it reached #7 in the News and Politics section.
