Yahoo To Produce Sci-Fi Streaming Sitcom 121
jfruh (300774) writes "As the heydays of Internet portals recede into the mists of history and Yahoo tries to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up, the company has decided to dip its toes into the incredibly expensive and unpredictable world of producing full-length television shows to compete with the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and HBO. One of the two may intrigue Slashdot readers: Paul Feig, co-creator of the cult '90s hit 'Freaks and Geeks' (and more recently the director of 'Bridesmaids') will product "Other Space," a comedy-adventure about a misfit group of space travelers who stumble onto an alternate universe. The second show, about a fictional Las Vegas NBA team, will appeal to Yahoo's sports audience." I wonder how long it will be until Google, Microsoft, and Apple are also all producing TV shows.

It's like "gifting" something..."to product" is "to make a product", right?
No. Producting is analogous to amateurducting. You see it all the time on those home renovation shows. Amateurducting doesn't have taped joints, holes cut through the floor joists, electrical junction boxes buried in the cold air returns. But with producting, you get even warmth all through the house, and everything is up to code and safe.
