DK, JS, TW on cameras pointed at each other while Doug switches
This is the first show in which the Three Geniuses were allowed to go
back to Hollywood after the pepper spray incident. Media One had also
bought Continental Cablevision and changed their policy on charging a
fee to do a public access show. But they agreed that it would still be
free if you could find your own crew. This actually became the greatest
development for the geniuses since Dan Kapelovitz came up with the,
shall I say, genius concept of doing all of the camera work and switching
themselves and just aiming the cameras at each other. From here on out all
shows at Media One facilities are done with no crew.

Kapelovision: Whereas Threee Geniuses is the ultimate in maximalism, Kapelovision is the ultimate in minimalism. The first show consists of Kapelovitz staring at the camera as a hypno wheel sprirals in the background. The show was taped live, allowing viewers to call in. Kapelovitz patched the callers through but refused to acknowledge their presence either verbally or visually. Kapelovision #2 takes is one step further and elimates Kapelovitz altogether, only showing the spiral. But perhaps the ultimate in television minimalism is Kapelovision #16, often
referred to as "The White Show," an episode of pure whiteness filling the screen with only silence as the audio track. Kapelovitz is currently working on Kapelovision #19, a show of pure blackness. He is currently raising funds to realize this project.
