I haven't watched much of this series from Canadians Scott Albert and Christopher Guest but what I've seen cracks me up. The second season trailer is already up and I have barely made a dent in the first season. This is one of the few series I actually want to watch multiple episodes of … instead of feeling obligated to give them a chance by watching more.
Created by Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld, Jake and Amir this long running web series feels more like sketch than scripted comedy. Either way it is funny. The premise:Gullies For LifeJake and Amir are two best friends that work together, live together, and play together. We're not really best friends, so don't type that. Yes we are. No we aren't, and we also don't live together. Whatever. Not whatever. Dinner tonight? Nope.
My teen spies are avid fans.

Back on Topps is a new web series from Executive Producers Jason Sklar and Randy Sklar and brought to you by Skype.
Come on a comedic, behind-the-scenes journey into one of the worlds most recognizable sports companies. When The Topps Company falls into new ownership, sport-loving twin brothers Leyland and Leif Topps face a challenge in their new work environment. These former heirs must prove to their new boss that they are indeed worthy and valuable to the sports and card world, and in doing so they might just land Back on Topps.
The video is housed on the Back on Topps site and not everything on the site works as well as you might hope. Production value on the series is very high but the technicals on the site don't quite match. Not everything works yet. Two episodes are available now. With more coming… soon?
Here's the pilot:
Strive TVI have to go back to strike.tv and give it another chance. The site is in beta with a ton of videos to watch. Most of them have only put up a single episode so far. A whole lot more series are listed coming soon. So far I haven't seen anything that really interested me. Still, there's a lot there and I must go back and look around some more.
