Hello everybody!
For those that have read my reviews, you can probably guess that I love TV. You may also know I’m hoping to one day write for television. Two extremely obvious statements since you’re reading this on TVWriter.com, but still.
…And, frequent TVWriter™ visitor that he is, Bob has a few questions (as well as an opinion or three):
LB and Munchman seem to believe that web series are, if not THE future, one of the major elements of the future of TV (is that term even relevant anymore? More later.) writing. I decided to force Monkey Mind into investigating this phenomenon.
Crushin’ on Felicia Day. What do we do about it? What can we do?
Felicia Day Talks the New Season of Her Hit Web Series ‘The Guild’ and the Hazards of Being a ‘Girl Gamer’ – by Robert Echevarria
If you get on the internet for anything other than email, you would be hard-pressed not have heard of Felicia Day. An actress seen on shows such as “Eureka,” “Supernatural” and “House,” Day is the multifaceted creator, writer, producer and star [as Guild Priestess Codex] of the smash-hit web series, “The Guild.” Achieving longterm success in an online medium known for its short attention span is no small feat, but “The Guild,” which is centered around the lives of a group of gamers involved in an MMORPG, is moving into its sixth season, which premieres on Day’s YouTube channel Geek & Sundry on October 2nd. This level of success is no surprise when you look at the stats — “The Guild” has garnered over 69 million views and several awards, and has launched a handfull of music videos that have Day’s fangirls and -boys bubbling in a hormonal tizzy, which is ironic, because “sexy” isn’t a word that Day would use to describe herself.
Writer! Director! Star! And all he had to do to make it on the interweb was star in a hit TV series. We love the web! And irony too!
Um…this isn’t exactly Felicia Day quality, is it? But we’ll keep sampling because what are fans for?
Hey, kids, it’s BLUE CHIMP!
Okay, so it’s really called JUNGLE BRAWL, but – note to creator Lee Daniels – the character name is more compelling and should be the name of the show.
That’s however, is the only thing we can see wrong with this delightful endeavor. Hoping tosee many more eps.
