In August 2011, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Goodnight Burbank had been sold to Mark Cuban's HDNet.
[1] The deal came to be after Cuban reached out to Hayden Black, less than twenty-four hours after the first episode had aired on Hulu.
The original short-form version of the series received positive reviews from USA Today, which called it "better than 99% of the stuff on TV" and BBC News, which said it was a "brilliant satire that wouldn't look out of place on a network"[2] - as well as G4,[3] the San Francisco Chronicle[4] and various websites.
