The Burg
In yet another installment of I-love-the-internet-and-its-transformative-impact-on-the-arts-and-culture, I wanted to share an internet TV show that I’m really enjoying: The Burg.
I’m impressed by the level of writing and video production for the no-budget show. It’s not as polished as its professionally produced competitors, but in no way does this detract from the experience. It reminds me of another low-budget show that actually made it to cable, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Only better.
As a proud disowner of a television (translation: I don’t have a TV), I get all my video entertainment down the tubes of the internet. This arrangement has been working out quite well for me, and I’m pleased to report that I watch far less television than I did when I had a boob-tube. Between Comedy Central’s Daily Show clips, iTunes downloads, and internet TV like The Burg (oh, and the less-than-legal stuff), my media needs are met.
And my bank account appreciates the $2000 I’m not spending on an HDTV and the $600 I’m not spending on cable each year. Bonus.
