We Need My Future Girlfriend

If you haven’t heard of the web series, We Need Girlfriends, may I implore you to stop whatever it is that you are doing right now and take some time to watch an episode or two (though I will make you aware that it may very well lead to a marathon) right now here:

For those of you individuals who have not watched and are too stubborn to watch right now, We Need Girlfriends is a web series that gained an incredible amount of internet popularity when it released on youtube. The show was so popular, in fact, that CBS picked up it with the intention of making it a sitcom on their network. The sitcom never fully made it to completion for reasons not mentioned in this post (but that will be answered, later on— stay tuned). It chronicles the lives of three twenty-somethings who are in desperate need of.. you guessed it.. girlfriends. The things these three go through during this quest to conquer the “squirrels” of New York City (you’ll have to watch for the reference) is downright hilarious.. yet.. it has enjoyed such popularity due to being so relational. Unless you live in some deluded kind of white picket fence reality, all of us, at some time or another have been where these three guys find themselves: lonely and desperately searching for a significant other that isn’t completely off-the-radar crazy. Am I right, or am I right? This simple fact is what I believe has made the show what it is today— the fact that everyone has been there.. and that maybe, just maybe, these crazy exploits that take place during this season aren’t so crazy and far-fetched after all.

Just trust me when I say, it’s worth the time to sit down and watch.

Now, Ragtag Productions (the production company behind We Need Girlfriends) is on the brink of releasing another web based series, My Future Girlfriend. It is a Sci-Fi romance comedy presented in five parts that is set to release on April 1, 2011. Rest assured, Ragtag Productions has denied any claim that the release date is an April Fool’s joke— this is the real deal, kiddos. Though this project has yet to be seen, it seems promising, packing just as much (if not more) punch than We Need Girlfriends. Watch the teaser trailer here:

That being said, I have the incredible honor of interviewing Steven Tsapelas, writer and director of We Need Girlfriends and writer of My Future Girlfriend, and presenting it to you directly. Stay tuned to the next few posts for the full interview!

Until then..

Love & love,
