I gotta say, I’ve been a huge fan of Dorm Life since day one when I stumbled upon it on Hulu, and I have had the distinct pleasure to actually converse with several of the creative bodies / creators on the phone and via other messaging systems. They are amazing folks with a very down to earth perspective, and I think what they have created touches on many of the aspects a lot of college students can relate to.

Rather than focus on a ridiculous ad campaign, they have put the work into the production value and a no-holds barred guerilla style advertising campaign that is highly dependent on their fan base spreading its tentacles…and this system has worked, because believe it or not…this show rocks!

Always been a fan, and still am, keep the good times rolling Josh and Gang

Yes, congratulations on further turning the internet into a shallow, sophomoric cesspool devoid of any empathetic characters or the briefest suspension of disbelief.

I don’t have a problem with the show itself, as it is what it is: a farcical characterization of college that has absolutely no relation to actual college.

But to evaluate it as “one of the web’s most clever and accomplished web series,” when any episode of the show wouldn’t hold a candle to the worst 10 minutes of MTV’s programming, isn’t exactly furthering the web as a frontier of originality. NewTeeVee, congratulations on helping shape the web as a medium where quality filmmaking has no place.

If season 2 is as good as the buzz about it , we can look forward to laughing a lot this year. And that’s my favorite thing to do…..

Those ASM Producers (I’m looking at YOU, Josh McHugh!) really know how to get inside my head. Now . . how do they like it there? And how do I get them out?

But thanks for the support!

The second season looks great, and as for the believability issue – it’s DormLife, not real life. Or is it?
