more info CR6 was the first ever Canadian show produced for the internet, made in 1997 by A.I. developer Chris McKinstry. Production started on late 1996, and the series was released in early 1997. By all accounts, production was a disaster, with Chris losing over $1 million, causing him to flee to Chile.[1] The show received moderate media coverage, even making it on CNN, with most news sources emphasizing the uniqueness of such a show on the Internet.[2] Little is known about the plot, other than the fact that there were six characters, with one being an alcoholic former model named Anna Frobisher. The show wasn't in full motion video, but rather a series of photographs (presumably with audio overdubs) and interactive objects that the viewer could click on to learn more about it. Chris McKinstry apparently sold the rights to the show back to the cast for one dollar after the .com website for CR6 failed to generate a profit.[1] lostmediawiki.com/Cr6_(lost_early_internet_show;_1997)
