A Pretty Smart Show

The Smart Show follows the playfully irreverent Henry and Joan, an ostensibly satisfied young couple, as they travel through America checking out the stuff that makes this country “smart,” including Holiday Inn Express which has graciously hosted the dapper duo on their joyous journey.

###It might be an extended advertisement, but it’s a pretty good show — a model growing in popularity for major brands, and an application that should be watched closely by advertisers and producers.  What better way to discover cool stuff like Stew Leonards

than with a fun-loving putz and his adorable diva?  (By the way, did you notice that  those delicious-looking free breakfasts at Holiday Inn Express?  Is that free WiFi I see??)

New episodes will be released daily as the couple zigzags across the country like this…

The Smart Show is produced by HBO and AOL, which indicates the growing interest in the space from major media who are partnering with producers and consumer products to create entertainment that sells.  They’re encouraging audience participation with video responses and comments and send love to the community of Internet-TV producers by sponsoring Break A Leg, Goodnight Burbank, Unleashed and Galacticast via blip.tv.
