I received many email from people very upset about the outcome of "Situation: Comedy". Here are a few:
Hello Mark and Shoe,
My friends and I are so disappointed that "Sperm Donor" was not chosen the winner from "Situation: Comedy." Your pilot was so superior to "Stephen's Life" that there really was not a contest. Blame the voting (more about that below). You should both be very happy with the results and I am sure that TV executives out there will take notice of your efforts.
I am really unhappy with how the voting was handled. I am sure there were many people watching tonight who had no idea that the voting had closed the previous week. Although I voted on AOL, many people seemed to be under the impression that there would be a chance to vote after your pilots were shown on BRAVO. After all, who wants to watch a postage-stamp window for 15 minutes? Furthermore, not everyone has a broadband connection to make the streaming video even viable. Nowhere that I saw in last week's episode did BRAVO state that voting was closing after episode 7. The voting procedures were mishandled and misguided by BRAVO, AOL and the producers. The pilots should have been screened last week with an announcement that voting was closing. This week's episode should have been a wrap-up and should have included comments/interviews with the directors, actors and NBC executives. I am shocked by the amateur way in which "Situation: Comedy" was produced.

99.9999% of America polled said they didn't know that Bravo actually broadcasted at 7 PM on Fridays, nor had they heard of "Situation: Comedy". Well, for the other .0001%, watch the finale of "Situation: Comedy" tonight, the Sperm Donor pilot and Shoe's hair.
Also, tonight is as close you're ever going to get to a Situaiton: Comedy marathon, with episode 106 starting at 5 PM, Episode 107 at 6 PM and Episode 108 at 7 PM. Shoe and I will be presenting Episode 103 in Spanish on the corner of Melrose and LaBrea at 8 PM.

CBS Morning Show: Anonymous Sperm Donor Meets Kids
(CBS) For decades, sperm donors have been willing to help infertile couples have children, as long as their identities remained a secret. But what happens if the donor wants to meet his offspring?
CBS News Correspondent Susan McGinnis found out for The Early Show. She went to Somerset, Mass., to meet a single mom and the anonymous donor her two kids now call "Dad."
"They knew that they didn't have a dad in their family and that was OK with them," Raechel McGhee says about her children.
Until recently, Aaron and Leah McGhee had never met their father and, what's more, neither had their mother.
"If anybody said, 'Where is your daddy?' They would just look at the person and say: 'We don't have a daddy in our family," Raechel McGhee says. "We have a donor.'"
