Micheal Cera had a great one on a few years back, 'Clark & Michael'. It doesn't seem to be on the website for it anymore though, for some reason.

CBS (the American TV channel) has all their videos on YouTube... they must have sold the content.

If you never seen Channel101.com there's a wealth of webseries. I haven't really been checking it lately but it used to be a big deal and some classic stuff is in the archives. My favourites include Twigger's Holiday, The Bu', Kicked in the Nuts and Time Belt. I know Dan Harmon (Community) and Rob Schrab (Heat Vision and Jack)were behind the site and it started The Lonely Island's push to fame.

I do not, no. I have viewed the very occassional comedy thing on line, and if it's been good, like the Partridge ones were, then I simply wish it would come on to TV where it looks better and you can watch it more comfortably. I also find them hard to find and if a link isn't put in front of me to click I always miss them.

This is a massive problem when you're making a webseries. When it's new (not a TV tie in with a pre-existing audience) and you've got no money, it's next to impossible to find an audience.

Facebook is a great tool to make sure people keep up to date. They like it once and every episode gets delivered to their timelines. Well, they did before "top stories..."

Hi,
I know something about webseries..... Ivan Silvestrini is the director of the first italian webseries in English.
Webseries is an example of creativity really indipendent.
If you have any question I will be here to answer..
you can start watch the first episode... only 11 min ( short but good)
so where did you get "Stuck"?

Webseries......Mmmmm, most people don't watch them as they are a bit of a pain to find.

Although all that will change when a breakthrough show gets the publicity that gets the bbc/daily mail/angry of Tumbridge Wells/x-Factor types frothing at the mouth with outrage and make the headlines, and the strap line of "web shows of these type are increasing in popularity" is used to get the great unwashed to drag themselves away from telling the world what they had for breakfast on Facebook and search out the source......Or maybe not !

I've started watching quite alot but my favourite which I must of started watching five six years ago is Queer Duck. There little animation shorts by one of the Simpsons veteran writers, a guy in an apple shop showed me it on the mac when I was like 12.

blinkx.com is a good source of comedy not shown on TV in the uk, and Europe, although some of the Aussie & South African humour can bit a bit unfunny. They do have lots of webseries stuff but again it is very hard to find.

I like this web series because you don't have to see every episode to know what's going on.

I watched the Alan Partridge series Mid Morning Matters and loved it. Bit like what's previously been said though, I watched it and thought 'I wish this was on TV instead'. Which apparently it will be. On Sky Atlantic. Which I can't get. Brilliant.

Roll on the DVD

I am collating all the British web series on YouTube in one handy place:

If you know of anything missing please let me know. Cheers.

And I hope you can have a look, discover and recommend to others some good series.

I would watch this webseries...
