I'm not sure if this thread should be here in the TV and Movies section or not...if it's not, would a mod kindly move it to the proper section?

Anyway, back onto the topic...I was curious to know how many dromers here watch online shows, and if so which ones are your favorites? (pretty much the same deal as my "favorite webcomics?" thread...except...with webshows)

Mine would be:

"The Hillywood Show (http://www.thehillywoodshow.com/)" (see sig)-An online series that follows Jack Sparrow and William Turner as they travel through time and to different dimensions using Doc's DeLorean, encountering various characters from popular films and tv shows (many of them involving Johnny Depp roles, which are well-performed). It's really grown as a show too. It started off acting as if it was a talk show (like The Today Show) and slowly morphed into an actual show and developing storylines. I absolutely love this show, and am excited as hell for the upcoming new episode (episode 14, the premire for Season 3)!

It'sJustSomeRandomGuy's "Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC" (including its spin-offs-"Marvel/DC" and "Goblin Bloggin") (http://www.youtube.com/user/ItsJustSomeRandomGuy)-A funny online series that started off as a wonderful parody of the Mac vs PC commercials, and then morphed into a series with the "Marvel/DC" spin-off. Very funny, and I've come to love the storylines (wish the next ep of "Marvel/DC Season 2" would hurry up and come!). Enjoyable for anykind of comic fan.

"SMPFilms" (http://www.youtube.com/user/smpfilms)-Not really a show, but rather a collection of random and entertaining videos (the new ones, in my opinion, being much better than some of the older ones). Good for a few laughs, and even has a couple of games you can play (lots of fun)!

"The Nostalgia Critic (aka That Guy with the Glasses)" (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic)- A very funny individual who reviews our childhood movie/tv show favorites in a creative and often side-splittingly lol manner. He also does the "Bum Reviews" and "Ask That Guy" videos (both on his site as well, in their own sections)!

Honorable Mention:

"The Angry Video Game Nerd" (http://cinemassacre.com/Home_page/frameset.html)- I love his reviews, but honestly don't watch this show religiously like I do with the ones I listed above. It's worth checking out, lots of funny videos at his site!

Alrighty, I've listed mine. To those who watch online shows, which ones are your favorites?

Awesome Video Games!!! is a show that a friend of mine is in. They shoot it on the west coast. It is a crazy show set as if the NES has just come out and these two "kids" review the games. If you watch it, watch the earlier episodes from season 2, they are the best!

Also I know they were supposed to do an entire series on OT TMNT toys, They bought a crap load in there boxes and were going to shoot these episodes for season 2 but they ran out of time. They are shooting 3 now, so I'll ask my friend if they plan on doing the TMNT episodes.

LoadingReadyRun: (http://www.loadingreadyrun.com) A Canadian comedy troupe. Say what you will about Canada, these people are hilarious. Heck my girlfriend has some bizarre loathing for Canada and she loves LRR.

I would mention my other 2 internet movie obsessions, but they've been mentioned. (NC, Marvel/DC, and AVGN):P

Oh and this one goofy nerdy guy who does these movie reviews. Sometimes they're funny, check them out:

Marvel/DC is really the only one I watch. There was supposed to be a Least I Could Do (a really hilarious web comic) vid series but it hasn't gotten off the ground quiet yet...other than the opening sequence and a bunch of music vids.

That Hillywood thing sounds like something I'd definatly watch.

Dude... I don't really care, I just want to know why she hates Canada? Just for fun.

I like those comedy shows where they go down and ask University proffs and Government officials silly questions about Canada and they have NOOOOOO idea about anything up there.... because you know its hard to stay warm in my igloo with my dog sled parked out front hahahaha.

But its not your fault really! We know everything there is to know about the US because thats all we watch up here on TV... other then the hand full of Canadian channels you can get. That and they actually teach about other countries in our schools. But thats not your fault either.

I really never asked her. I think part of it is a deep seated loathing for Avril Lavigne and William Shatner, which are the summation of all things Canadian...I guess. Though Trebek and Mike Myers are good exports from your great land.

EDIT: For the record, I did actually come out and ask her why before I posted this.

hahah sweet! well no worries. But still a strange reason to hate a country hahaha.

I hate Bush and Paris Hilton but I don't hate America....

Plus there are a BILLION other great actors and directors from the north. Mostly because they can't get enough work up here so they move south hahaha.

How could anyone hate William Shatner?

Why don't you ask the entire cast of Star Trek cuz they ALL hate Shatner. The guy's an arse. Nimoy barely tolerates him.

My fave Canadian actor is Michael J. Fox :D

Elias Koteas is Canadian!!

"He is considered by many to be Canada's answer to Robert De Niro, but we prefer to think of him (De Niro)as Canada's Elias Koteas." (http://www.canadians.ca/more/profiles/k/k_elias_koteas.htm)
And that is going in the signature!

Yes but when Tim Hortons takes over the entire US (which it has already starter) will any employee have any idea that they are all wearing a Canadian Hockey player on their shirt and hats? There is NOTHING more Canadian than Tim's

What about James Cameron, the Sutherlands (father and son), Jim Carrey, Dan Aykroyd and the writer director of Ghosy Busters Ivan Rightman, Martin Short, that hot chick from lost, half the cast of the new 90210 (not that I would ever watch that show in a million years) and on and on and on

AVGN - Never ceases to entertain me.

The Philip DeFranco Show - A nice news type of show with occasional humor and social commentary to mix things up a bit.

Nite Fite - Just a fun debate kind of a show by the guys at Channel Frederator.

Happy Tree Friends - Well, I don't think you can go wrong with small animals meeting their demise in unlikely situations.

The Stack - An informatve and opinionated comic book review show, which I really wish didn't have to end.

G.I. Joe: The Epic Saga - A great series using action figures as the characters, which ended with the 100th episode about a week ago.

MeatSpace - A cool creation by Blunty3000, which features some of the best stop motion animation Lego-figure wise.

Hi, I'm a Marvel and I'm a DC - Something that I always seem to look forward to.

Retarded Policeman - Always fun to watch for a good laugh.

The little nerd/goth crew used to watch that all the time in some class I had in middle school. I hate myself for not beating the **** out of all of them.
