<\/p>\n

TRIO was a brilliantly odd cable network<\/a> that sort of ended up being shuffled about and sort of vanished from tee vee in an acquisition by NBC that included similar net Bravo and a bunch of other things. That’s the short way to put it. In all, NBC ended up channeling its money and energy into Bravo.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Some of TRIO’s wares included Brilliant But Canceled, re-airings of great television programs that were too smart for their own good. Today, TRIO lives as a web archive (with a link back to Bravo, of course) – and Brilliant But Canceled is now a web blog.<\/a><\/p>\n

In all this, Scott Stowell<\/a>‘s open<\/a> designed the look of the network, with design studio No.17<\/a> creating the logo; filmmaker Chris Wilcha and music supervisors Agoraphone<\/a> along for the ride.<\/p>\n
