Interesting beginning. I remember when Maura Tierney used to be on Newsradio--loved that show! I had the biggest crush on her back then. Anyhoo, I'm still mad that Georgia was so short, so it's nice to see that this one has thirteen episodes. I just hope that this one has an ending that doesn't leave us hanging or suck.

Glad to hear you're excited about "Ruth & Erica." We don't think it'll disappoint!

[Bhumi Kelly]

I forgot to mention Serena. That was only one episode, but MAN! was that powerful and told a complete story. The acting in that one, especially Jen Gardner was spellbinding, and the topic, so forbidden that it made me uncomfortable to watch. You were simultaneously horrified and seduced by it, all at the same time. That piece should be nominated for some awards, I think. But mostly it is an example of how powerful a story can be told in just a few minutes. Not every story can do that, though.

[MiakodaKara]

ughhhh i cannot stand passive agressive and over bearing mothers

[AuthorForSale]

DEXTER!!

[lololee13]

did anyone notice Dexter (Micheal C. Hall)? I'd like to see more episodes and I'm wondering if there will be more webisodes in the near future.

[BJ Murray]

I sooo love the pre-running sippy cup. 

[Jinger Syx]

Love this

[Brandi L]

Whoa, where are they getting all these people from?! It's like they're shaking the forgotten famous tree and getting all awesome people from back in the day that I totally forgot about and they're totally rocking it. Sweet!

[debrabelz]

THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL. TOUCHING, MEANINGFUL, BRILLIANTLY ACTED AND WRITTEN THING I'VE SEEN IN YEARS. PHILLP BAKER HALL IS JUST BRILLIANT.

[Kelly Gonzalez]

amaziing!
