Break a Leg

Take that, NewTeeVee!

One of the biggest online publications/blogs -- The Huffington Post -- wrote about Break a Leg today, comparing it to Arrested Development (we'll take it!) and quoting Vlad and I about all sorts of different things, like our love for kittens.

You can read the article here.

Thanks, Ryan, for the write-up!

Hey, guys.

Our friends over at NewTeeVee put together a list of online shows that should be on television -- and Break a Leg, sadly, is not one of them.

You can read the article here: http://newteevee.com/2007/10/22/whose-web-shows-should-be-on-tv/ and feel free to suggest how very wrong they are.

I know you didn't write it, but come on Liz [Gannes, of NewTeeVee], I thought you, me and Break a Leg had something special!

In any case, Mr. Chris Albrecht -- we extend an invitation to not only watch everything Break a Leg-related here on the site, but to talk to us whenever you'd like about the show. Also, if you're attractive, you can even be in it.

Well, maybe.

Hey, all.

Episode 3, Act IV is up and the plot is ever-thickening.

We've been featured twice on YouTube now (Part 1 and 2 of Episode 3) and it's been thanks to your commenting, favoriting, rating and subscribing, so if you can, take a second and do it again for this part, right here.

Enjoy the episode! One more installment left!

Dear Celebrity,

Hi.

I'm glad you stumbled on our blog. Perhaps your agent said, "Tom [Cruise] -- you're not doing well enough, check out this internet sitcom and see what you think." Or maybe you were looking at how your own video website was doing and happened to spot us, Will [Ferrell.]) Or maybe you were horribly offended by our portrayal of you and want to make things right, Gary [Coleman.]

Whichever category you fall into, hi.

Thanks for stopping by.

And let me extend an invitation to being in our cast. See, Break a Leg was always intended to have at least one celebrity guest in each episode. It can be anyone, really [Paris Hilton], you could've been the star of your own reality show or you could've been the star of Good Will Hunting (come on, Robin Williams -- you live like four blocks away from me) -- all we know is we want you in our show.

And we'll make it funny.

Also, we won't pay you. We'll feed you -- oh, the things we'll feed you! Bagels like you've never tasted! A bagel dog, sometimes. Sometimes carrots! Sometimes not. Sometimes cream cheese and sometimes tiny pink water bottles marked with "The Starter Wife" label for some reason. You can even come and sleep under Chase Cougar's bed -- or, if you're Salma Hayek or Ron Jeremy, in Chase Cougar's bed. No, we won't pay you -- but the joy you'll have by shooting with us is unparalleled!

So, come one, come all, come anyone who's ever had to sign an autograph or been asked to do a porn film -- we're here, waiting to make you hipper by being on an internet show. And while that doesn't seem hip yet -- it will be. Oh, how it will be.

Thank you.

Oh yes, that's right! YouTube has once again featured Episode 3, this time, it's Act II.

Here's the thing. It's going to get torn apart. People will say things like, "I DON'T GET THIS?!?" or, "THIS IS DUMB, YOU'RE ALL DUMB" or, "COME SEE ME ON MY WEBCAM : ))))"

Point is, it's going to take an absolute beating in ratings, I think. So if you guys can (and by guys I mean you lurking blog subscribers -- oh yes, I know you're there! Can we, by the way, hit 300? We're almost there!) at the very least rate Episode 3, Act 2, it would help it stay afloat in some way.

Thanks, guys!
