Another "not a pre show buzz builderupper" but what would make me interested in trying out a new show would be if (probably phrasing this wrongly) the makers would guarantee a final ep. By this I mean (not to sound -ve but...) if the show doesn't perform well enough to continue, the loyal viewers will get some kinda rounding off ep, or (like the Defying Gravity people/person did) be a "this is where we would have liked to taken the story had we had more time" page in the website. (The MiddleMan people brought out a comic book for the unmade final ep to round of the season NaughtyLad arc).

BTW, to piggy back on those "design a nose cone", "name a baddie" ideas, what about havng the viewers provide the garnish rather than the main courses - ie  big_smile  rather than chose the main route they could contibute to the minor details - store names the hero passes, artwork for the fridge, name of the first spaceship destroyed. If you let the audience pick important stuff you run the risk of having to then overall(?), of saying no, like when
(1) childrens show ask viewers to name a teddy bear - Mohammad won.  big_smile 
(2) chess show, audience play white, audience move judged "not a good one" so they overalled (that's the right word, right ?!) it and made "the right" choice.
which just didn't sit right with me.  mad

I honestly don't know if there's a good way to build an audience for a show before you actually make the show. The best you can hope for is to have a good teaser and a good website for people to get information from. I think this might be something that would be easier to figure out with more info about the show, rather than just generic ideas that might work for any sort of show.

Bit late to this, but in my opinion anything done should be geared towards demonstrating passion.
Passion for the project, passion for the story, the characters, the cast and crew. i find that passion can
be infectious.
The flipside is to go for the mystery, the 'no-one can be told what the matrix is, you have
to see it for yourself' idea.
