It is a place for people with artistic (or otherwise) endeavors to find supporters willing to help fund projects in return for very real, tangible rewards.
So the only way to pay for this is to use Amazon Payments, which requires a US address to work at all. I don't live in the US, which is sad in itself, but also means I can't pay money for this.
Which is also sad.

I think you just need an Amazon.com account, I'm not in the US and it worked fine for me. If you can buy from Amazon.com I'm pretty sure you should be able to pledge for this.

Really? I went through it and it wouldn't let me select my country on signup, defaulting to US only.

What is UPPP? Holy shit this thing is on fire. What a response. you guys are the best. But we knew that already. One thing tho--
This is not something we're doing INSTEAD of Blams. Blams are still coming. The Season One DVD is in production now (masters have been burned) and season 2 is in production. So don't think that backing this means choosing this over blams. YOU GET BOTH!
P.S. I also think Kris is the funniest thing on the web.

Also, this pilot definitely reminded me of all those awesome SNL sketches where cast members would go into Lorne Michaels' office and ask for permission to do stuff.

First of all, I never claimed that Kickstarter pitches it as an investment.
To clarify a little more, this resonates with something I read recently on "gamer culture". It coalesced thoughts I'd had before about how it tends to be very obsessive about what it loves (what entertains if you will) and not caring nearly as much about what falls outside those narrow interests. Of course, I'm speaking about a trend. I don't doubt that there are gamers that are involved in society in other ways, but there is in my opinion a trend to become obsessively devoted to something one finds entertaining and justifying investing time and/or money into keeping a beloved cartoon on the air.
Public radio (in my opinion of course) provides a much broader and more meaningful service to the public than a comedy web series. This isn't a slam on how funny Scott and Kris are, I love the dudes. I just find it interesting how gamer culture will rally around something relatively trivial like this.
That's the last I'll say on it so feel free to spin what I've said to make it easier to attack it.
'Gamer culture' is not the only culture to behave like that, though. Ever been to a railway modellers convention? Now there's an obsession that causes tunnel vision...
A++ post.
Really I would want more information about this before I would say I was/for against it.
Do you actually get like a DVD or whatever at the end? (I am too lazy to click links)
The other thing is that is there going to be advertising for this? Because that's going to give them a massive profit margin. I mean Mike and Jerry took the hit to produce Patv and made the money back. To be fair M&J have a far higher revenue stream than these guys. But still why not take a loan or something? For a business this is not a huge loan.

$25
A signed copy of The Scott and Kris Show DVD, featuring all 10 episodes plus bonus content such as deleted scenes, gag reels, and commentaries from the production team and Kris & Scott.
$35
A signed copy of the DVD, plus a digital music soundtrack download of all the music used in the webseries.
$50
Exclusive behind-the-scenes blog access featuring insight from Kris and Scott about the filming and process of creating a webseries, as well as Flip cam footage of the shoots. Also includes a signed copy of the DVD and the digital music soundtrack download.
Considering that, with shipping, I paid a lot more than $25 to get the PATV season 1 DVD, 25 bucks for this DVD is an obvious steal.
And since it seems like most people are pledging 25 bucks, this basically boils down to the company just making sure they have some guaranteed DVD sales before putting the thing together
