Development

Based on hitRECord's open-collaborative approach to production, hitRECord on TV was developed as a variety show starring, created, and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Described as the online community's biggest collaborative project to date, hitRECord on TV was made from contributions from members of the hitRECord community around the world. The program was developed around featuring specific themes per episode, with requests from the community directors to provide and refine content for each theme. The final product for each episode features short films, live performances, cartoons and much more.

The first episode, "RE: Number 1", premiered on Pivot on January 18, 2014 at 10PM, and was made available for online viewing. In January 2014, Pivot announced the renewal of the series for a second season.

^ hitrecordJoe: “GUNS” was definitely the most controversial theme of any HIT RECORD ON TV episode we did this season. But controversy just means that people have a wide variety of strong opinions. And just because lots of people disagree, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it, tell stories about it, sing songs about it, etc. Our show is an example of how people who disagree can still collaborate to make something great together.
