Friday Night Playlist! – March 5, 2011 | The Best Web Series Episodes from The Watch List

Phew! Bet you didn’t think I’d make it this week, did you?

Well, despite the fact that it has been close to a month since the last one, here we are the first week in March and we have an awesome, jam packed Friday Night Playlist for you to enjoy. In fact, it was so jammed packed that I decided to give Funemployed it’s own playlist – this playlist was an hour and a half when I first put it together!

So, I’m sorry I missed most of February, but… we all know February sucks anyway. You’ve been very patient. Here’s your reward. Make it full screen, hit play, and let the magic moving pictures ease your troubled mind.

Total Running Time: 44 minutes

All the episodes that got rated 4 or 5 Swirlies from February 11th to March 4th! Yep, lots of good stuff – and some season finales, too.

First up is the last episode of the scandalously overlooked Co-op of the Damned. They’re raising money for their second season, so if you like it, consider helping them out a little! This episode isn’t the single best one of the four they did, but it got some good laughs from me all the same.

And then there’s new ‘favourite of the blog’ Microwave Porn. Funny, these guys are not only shooting more Microwave Porn but are actually working on another show! This episode is a wild one – if you thought a talking, pron addicted microwave named Alan was as weird as this series was going to get, you were wrong.

Followed by well established ‘favourite of the blog’ Space Hospital. I think I mentioned in the review but what is amazing about this series is that they nail the science story part, and the jokes and parody parts. It’s easier watched than done. This is a show that’s already in their second season. Do a hear a third?

Ha! I guess there’s a theme to these episodes. Bob and Andrew is also deep in production of season two as I write this. In this episode, Bob’s dating life seems to be stuck on a spiraling loop. I’m glad to see it’s not more of what we had in episode three, which was funny but more of just a monologue by Bob. Here we get to see how Bob and Andrew help each other with their problems.

Episode 6 of The Virgin Mattress – I thought this one was the finale of season one, but a quick check of their website proved me wrong. Why can’t I find episode 7 on their YouTube channel? Oh, I can hear my father’s voice right now, “You looked but you didn’t look.” Anyway, it just means more to post. In this episode I really like the gag that happens when the thieves drive off.

Okay, here’s a new one. I don’t usually come across web series out of the blue, that seem to have no promotion, and are actually good. As far as I can see from this first episode, Tyranny is one of them. And there’s a bunch more already posted. So enjoy this one, and we’ll both look forward to more.

And we end with the champ – and it’s end. Untitled Fiction Project set the standards of web series drama. And here’s how it’s first series ends. They’re taking requests for next season – if you have any drop them a line! What do you think would make a good Untitled Fiction Project 2?

And that’s it for this week – except make sure to check out the post featuring the last four episodes in season one of Funemployed. If I didn’t have so many videos to go through, they’d be in this list too!

Until we meet again, I’ll be watching…
