NTV on NPR: Which Web Shows to Watch?
Thankfully, I’m an early riser, so getting up at 5:30 a.m. today to do an interview with NPR’s Bryant Park Project wasn’t too tough. The show was looking for tips on where to find good webisodic entertainment, so I pointed them to a few standards their audience might not have heard of yet (We Need Girlfriends, Sanctuary and CollegeHumor).
We also talked about quarterlife bombing on TV (easy, Marshall, I was nice!), and the recent premiere of Squeegees.
You can listen to the show here.

Congrats, Chris! I can’t believe you were able to wake up that early. Also, the interview was excellent.

chris is a vampire. he doesn’t sleep at night. 5.45 is his bed time.
Truth be told, I felt more like a zombie than a vampire. An old-school, shambling George Romero zombie, not one of those super-agile Danny Boyle zombies.
QuarterLife is terrible!!! How do some middle aged men know what 25 year olds experience? Not even 25 year olds know that. The only people who enjoy that show (all fifteen of them) watch it to relive their youth. Regardless, take that crappy show off the air completely.
Middle aged men know what 25 year olds experience because Tom Wolfe told them. Obvi.
How can you legitimately comment about webisodes without mentioning shows like “Prom Queen” and “Satacracy 88″? These shows have led the charge of professionally produced content, and have attracted large audiences because of it (20 Million for “Prom Queen,” according to the NY Times), and were produced for a FRACTION of the cost of a show like “Sanctuary.” How many people are actually downloading “Sanctuary”? Have those numbers ever been released or scrutinized? What about “Afterworld”? “LG15″? “Goodnight Burbank”? All of those seem more relevant than “Sanctuary,” which was merely a pilot cut up and repurposed. I don’t know, seems like some serious oversights, maybe because it was so early in the morning ;)
I also disagree with SlickDealer, “Quarterlife” is a fantastic show, and it’s a real shame that more people didn’t watch when it debuted on NBC.
