GetDemocracy: Indy Web TV Selections
I’ve been moderating channels for the Democracy Player for a month or so, and I’ve been on a tear to find independent web TV that I can watch instead of cable. There’s a ton of video that I’m still sifting through, but I’ve been amazed at how many quality web TV shows that I have queued up for when I have a spare minute. And thanks to the Democracy Channel Guide, the list keeps growing.
There is quality independent content out there. It’s just sort of difficult to find. Because it’s the end of the week, I thought I’d save you some searching and hook you up with a few of the series that I’ve come across recently.
We Need Girlfriends
Out of all the videos episodes I’m watching right now, this is one of my favorites. It’s about three nerds who need girlfriends.
We Need Girlfriends
Good Morning World
This is a daily show that spoofs the idiocy of morning shows.
Good Morning World
Who’s Gonna Train Me?
This is technically indy, but it is produced by VH1, so I’m not sure if it counts. This is a series that chronicles a reality show about a boxer looking for a trainer.
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Sockbaby
Sockbaby is a pretty neat little 3 part video from 2004 that spans about 15 minutes in total. The fight scenes are pretty good for an indy film, and it’s a shame that it never made it past 3 episodes.

L33t Haxxors
This is a completely silly four part series about, you guessed it, Elite Hackers.

Planet Unicorn
“In the year 2117, an eight year old gay boy named Shannon found a magic lamp. He was granted three wishes. The first: A fur jacket. The second: a flying car. And the third was a planet. full. of unicorns. This is the story of that planet.” Are you sitting there with your fucking mouth wide open? Wait until you hear the theme song.

If you have an indy web series that you watch, drop it in the comments.

Pixel Perfect with Bert Monroy might kill my cable box.
That dude is a photoshop genius and used to be on TechTV all the time before G4 changed it to gaming and Ninjas.
