CBS Following WB With New Web Show

The WB.com‘s web-broadcast show Sorority Forever is on episode 33 (and available for download/subscription through Tivo‘s webcast feature) and… well, I don’t know anything to say there actually… that “show” has dropped off the radar. Maybe it’s popular. I’ve watched nine or ten episodes (because they’re two minutes long remember), but I don’t know how much more I can do that to myself.

Anyway, CBS is trying the same game, only they’re after a “serious” version of webcast television.

Novel Adventures is going to start “airing” November 3rd. The show is a mini-series with eight parts, and follows four women who try to escape the boredom of their lives by joining a book club and, uhhh… having adventures. I’m led to understand the episodes are something like 3-5 minutes long and riddled with branding, mainly that of major focus <car manufacturer> (name withheld until receipt of big, fat check). Plus, Daphne Zuniga is in it. Is that hot or what? If the trailer is any indicator, they are also being put together with a non-salary budget of “Hey Dude, will you hold this camera a sec?”

Eight Novels! Eight Wild Adventures!

If you say so.

Episodes will air exclusively on CBS.com, theInsider.com, and Tv.com for the first 48 hours after “release” and will then theoretically be available through other sources, assuming someone else is interested.

Here the trailer.

By the way, you may recall that I took issue with the fact that Sorority Forever‘s website had glaring grammatical errors when I was there shortly after the show’s launch. Well, the show’s site now includes a link to get you over to WB success story The OC to watch full episodes online. This is the copy—-

“Life Doesn’t Always Go As Planned. It never does in The OC. Watch full seasons of here.”

Who is running the damn WB, I mean WB Dot Com?
