Clark and Michael
IMDb; TV.com; Wikipedia; YouTube

This ran for 10 episodes in 2007. I watched at least the first episode, and I always meant to watch more of it, but I never got around to it. Maybe someday I will. It was created by and starred Clark Duke and Michael Cera, both of whom I know from other stuff (especially Cera). And... I dunno what else to say.


Con Man, on Vimeo
IMDb; iTunes; official website; Vimeo; Wikipedia

This stars Alan Tudyk as an actor named Wray Nerely, who had previously been one of the stars of a sci-fi show called "Spectrum," which became a cult classic after being cancelled after one season. (So the series is kind of meta, and kind of based on Tudyk's real life experiences, having been one of the stars of Firefly.) Another star of the webseries is Nathan Fillion, who also starred on "Firefly." And just like in real life, his character in "Con Man" went on to a successful career, whereas Wray's life, I guess, now largely consists of being a guest at sci-fi conventions (hence the title). (Although I think of Tudyk as fairly successful, since I've seen him in numerous things, post-Firefly.) Anyway, I first heard of "Con Man"... well, I don't remember when exactly, but certainly several months before it debuted in September 2015. So I was looking forward to it. I saw a trailer, which looked reasonably amusing, and besides Tudyk and Fillion, the series is chock-full of guest stars of whom I'm a fan from various other things. But when it finally did premiere, I realized (as I kind of suspected for some time beforehand) that it wasn't going to be free. And I'm not planning on paying for a Vimeo subscription. So I don't get to see it, for now, but I'll probably buy it if it comes out on DVD.


Disney Drive-On with The Muppets, on Disney Movies Anywhere (which is now gone)
IMDb; Muppets Wiki

This is a six episode series that debuted in August 2014, as a tie-in to the movie "Muppets Most Wanted." I haven't seen that yet, but I do want to see it before I watch this. And I have no idea if I even can watch this...


The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, on YouTube
IMDb; official website; TV Tropes; WebVeeGuide; Wikipedia; YouTube

Um... I don't really know anything about this, but it's something I do plan to check out eventually.


Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, on Netflix
A.V. Club; IMDb; Mill Creek Entertainment; Netflix; TV.com; TV Tango; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

I can't watch this because I don't get Netflix. But I've read good things about it, and one of the creators is Tina Fey, of whose other work I'm a fan. So I'd probably like to check this out someday, if I ever get the chance.
