Three Online Shows With Buzz

Posted on October 4, 2006

USA Today has an article about three different web-based shows: Broken Saints, Soup of the Day and Floaters. Of the three Broken Saints, an animated comic epic, is not currently offering online content.

Instead, it has leaped from the Internet to DVD. Broken Saints received 5 million visitors during its 24 show series.

Broken Saints, considered the granddaddy of Internet serials, launched in 2001. "I realized we had something shortly after the site launched and the first two chapters were up," writer/director Brooke Burgess says.
"We were featured in a major Web publication, and the next day, my technical director said our bandwidth was going crazy."

The other two shows can be viewed online. Soup of the Day is a comedy show on ZabberBox about a guy who has three serious girlfriends. Three short webisodes run each week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. ZabberBox also offers several other online shows and content on its website.

Floaters is an sitcom about three women in New York who work as temps at an ad agency. USA Today compares it to Sex and the City. Floaters is produced by Phoebeworks Productions of New York. Phoebeworks offers Floaters archives so you can start watching the series from the first episode.
