Online Sitcoms

I find these days that there is often nothing to watch on terrestrial TV if you’re not into football, Big Brother or Pop Idol. So I’ve been taking refuge on the internet - and becoming more and more addicted to Blip.tv. That was the site that had the Lacross TV channel that I featured a few weeks back.

I’m a great fan of the Goodnight Burbank sitcom on Blip.tv, set behind the scenes of a TV news channel - you see the bits in between the news when the news presenters chat to each other and it’s very funny. Each episode is only a few minutes long but packs a lot in.

Their blurb says: “Sex. Drugs. Booze. News. A comedy about the people who bring us the news - while they’re actually bringing it. USA Today calls us “better than 99% of the stuff on TV”. The LA Times says “a wicked satire”. And TV Guide says “Best of the Web”.”

Here is Episode 34:

I’ve subscribed to the show in iTunes and got it on my video iPod to watch when I’m waiting for my train or siitting on the bus or stuck on the tube - London public transport is great for catching up on all your portable media since we have to spend so long in the system while trying to get anywhere!

UPDATE: Later the same day…. I got this email from Hayden Black via the Contact link:

“Hi!
This is Hayden, the producer/writer of Goodnight Burbank and just wanted to
thank you for mentioning the show! Glad you like it.
Not sure if you know but I launched a brand new comedy series last week at
www.abigailsteendiary.com. Love to hear what you think of that :)
cheers,
Hayden”

It’s really worth checking out his new show - I laughed out loud!
