With Easter right around the corner, I'm reminded just how much misdirection we allow throughout our lives. The very nature of being a human is a flock like mentality that constantly wrestles with the instinct to break free and be our own individual. Even from a young age, we are led by the hand, tripping over our own feet, adults pointing at brightly colored eggs. Of course, in my family it was a pastime of my fathers to misdirect me nearly out of the yard, during an egg hunt, while stiffing a chuckle. Finding good TV is kind of like a childhood egg hunt (heck, they event have a term in the entertainment industry, 'Easter Egg'.) You can happily follow the flow of popular television and mainstream media to a certain degree, then you begin to feel the itch of discontent and boredom.
Created with the sole intent of being streamed online, then later licensed to Crackle for streaming through media devices (such as Roku and XBOX,) this show is a little rough around the edges. While the video quality is superb for a web series, don't expect professional lighting and makeup on your 54" HDTV flat screen. It's real and gritty, and that's why we like it. While promos claim that Seinfeld has at last created a show about 'nothing,' there is a bit of good 'meat' and entertainment between the facts about the featured care of the week, arguing over coffee preferences, and artsy lead in shots.
What Daughter Says: When the barrage of mainstream media choices overwhelm you, try something unexpected- you just might like it!
I think I've heard of this show. I'll have to check it out, thanks for the recommendation. :)
ReplyDeleteYES I have been meaning to check out this web series, thanks so much for the reminder! I miss Jerry Seinfeld on my TV!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why my parents decided to get rid of cable more than a year ago. It was rough to start with but after a month or two we didn't know why we didn't decide to get rid of it sooner!
ReplyDeleteThis show sounds quite interesting! When there are THAT many comedians and they're put together like that you KNOW laughter is inevitably going to ensue ^.^
I have seen crackly on Roku and just yesterday asked my 4- year old: What's Crackle? Why did you click on it? Maybe I should actually browse through it
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this show but haven't gotten around to checking it out. I've always loved Jerry Seinfeld!
ReplyDeleteYou are always educating me about something web based. Now I have learned about Crackle - which was just a chocolate bar to me until it has now become something else entirely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun premise. I totally need to check this one out. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI need to look into this. I honestly still just watch whatever is on TV when it's on TV. I'm behind the times.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. I love a lot of their guests. I will have to check this out!
