    A long time ago (2006), TDI was once called "camp TV". i found one of the original promos:
    http://www.neptoonstudios.com/CLIPS/webpromo.html
    Crazy how much things have changed. theres nothing about camp TV on wikipedia if i get enough info about it i can probably add it to the wiki entry of TDI.

    Oh MY GOD. That looks even funnier then the series now! That was awesome! Thank you so much for posting that!

    I noticed that the "gwen" apparently goes out with "geoff" in that form of the show. and that Leshawna is even more annoying then the current series.

    I actually saw that. It looked nothing like TDI today. I'm glad they made the changes!

    It does look wackier then what it is now But I like how it is now better.

    and it looks like they combined Lindsay and Heather into one character.

    I like the artwork now compared to the video. The facial expressions were too complex. Looks like the original DJ was a bigger softie before. Although it would have been funnier if they kept the 'ganster' design.

    Gwen and Geoff.....NO.

    Haha, did anyone notice that Duncan's original design was in there too? And it was not playing the part of the pizza guy?

    That's funny, but I'm glad they made the changes that they did. And I agree, I don't really like the Geoff and Gwen thing, and I don't get what everyone seems to not like Trent, and DJ looks more like a college football player than high school.

    I've seen that, and it was pretty wackier than the current one. I mean, Geoff looked a bit too party happy. Also, I prefer Geoff and Gwen as just friends.

    Yeah, it is pretty ironic. It's sort of funny on how some of the characters look different before the final cut, like Eva being almost like Heather body wise and how Chef looks like an angry German.

    Yeah, it just doesn't work. And to me, I prefer the current Sadie better because it makes her look huggable to Katie. Also, I seem to have noticed that when Trent was introduced in the promo, seems there's quite a lot of resentment against him.

    I like how the TDI characters look now compared with their original designs, which made many of them look much more grim (especially where Trent and the original Gwen try to choke each other out and Duncan menaces the original DJ with a snake) than they do as they are now.

    You know, seeing their original designs makes me want to draw the current TDI characters reacting to their old designs, especially Eva and and Duncan.

    I like Beth's old design, but the new design kind of made Beth somewhat cute.

    Cool. Hey, what do you think will happen if the current cast of TDI would react to their old designs?

    Sorta. Not really. But Beth's old design was cool!
