Tubefilter Tuesday Picks – August 19th, 2008

Each week, the staff at Tubefilter News gets together and picks shows that we think you should check out.

This week’s picks:

Roommating

Roommating follows the story of Joel and Erin, two roommates who met on Craigslist and have a common appreciation of judging people and Vietnamese food. We got a chance to talk to Joel a few days ago, and he was able to give us a little insight on just where he and Erin get their ideas.

Wainy Days

Now on its third season, sporting a 2008 Webby Award for best comedy series, MyDamnChannel’s Wainy Days

is showing no signs of falling off. The NY-based series starring comedy vet David Wain (The State) on his quest to find love in the city wraps up the season on August 25th.

Park Bench

As Tubefilter News’ Arjun Sharma recently described Park Bench, “The dynamic between the two main characters is one we’ve seen before – Matt is level-headed, but has relationship problems, while Adam is insecure and overcompensates for it. By using the freedom that the internet provides, the two guys get into some hilarious scenarios that we would never see on primetime TV. In the pilot, the guys are approached by a volunteer to get tested for STDs, but they decline and explain the “process of elimination” that (allegedly) keeps them disease-free.”
